Yamaha YZF-R1

Yamaha‘s YZF-R1, or R1, is an open class sport bike, or superbike, motorcycle produced from 1998 to the present.

2004-2005

As the rivalry grew more fierce, Yamaha made several significant adjustments to the model. This includes styling changes such as an underseat dual exhaust, as well as performance modifications such as radial brakes and, for the first time, an R1 Ram-air intake. Furthermore, prior models’ proclivity for wheelies was decreased by modifying the shape of the frame and weight distribution. The all-new engine, which had a separate upper crankcase and cylinder block, was no longer employed as a stressed element of the chassis.

The dry weight of the 2004 R1 is 172 kg (379 lb). Radially mounted calipers actuated by a radial master cylinder replaced the conventional front brake calipers. This year also saw the addition of a factory-installed steering damper. Combined with the frame improvements, this helped to remove the handlebars’ tendency to shake violently during rapid acceleration or deceleration on less-than-ideal ground, a characteristic known as a speed wobble or tank slapper.

Motorcycle Consumer News testing of the 2004 model year YZF-R1S revealed a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time of 3.04 seconds, a 0 to 100 mph (0- 161 km/h) time of 5.42 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 9.90 seconds at 144.98 mph (233.32 km/h), and a peak speed of 179 mph (288 km/h).

At the 2005 Isle of Man TT, John McGuinness won the senior race.
