The 2009 Yamaha YZF R1 is like no other 1000cc machine period.
This is like no in-line-four cylinder sportsbike ever produced. It’s simply sensational. The Yamaha R1’s has an ultra-short-stroke engine using a cross-plane crankshaft, with the crank pins set at 90° and has irregular firing intervals (bang bang), which is tech taken straight from Valentino Rossi’s factory Yamaha. At a standstill the motor free revs like a two-stroke and once mobile the R1’s ability to accelerate hard, no matter where you are in the rev range is simply fantastic. The all new engine design grunts off corners like a big V-twin and screams along straights like the nasty in-line-four it really is. The best part of all is that it sounds just like Rossi’s factory M1 at full noise.

I ride the 2009 R1 and I have owned plenty of them, it’s an awesome engine, very different to the 08 model. I think it’s much better to ride fast. I’ve done a few track days and my times are easily better on the new model. Way to go Yamaha!
can you please send me some pics of the yzf r1 in black with red.can the background be white i want them as screen savers.
thanks
