K9 Yami R1; Sucks!

K9 R1

With all the R&D that goes into the new Gen super sportbikes, you think Yamaha would go to the extreme and do a little more research into the competition. I think somewhere along the line, sombody screw up. Take a look at the Dyno charts with a full Akrapovic System. If the numbers pulled from Akrapovic’s site are correct (and I don’t see why they wouldn’t), then Yamaha has fallen way off the mark with this all new R1. The point of the new cross-plane crankshaft was for a more linear powerband. This torque curve looks a mess.

The R1 Dyno map is not so impressive

With Yamaha riders like Brewmyster and Cnote, its going to be another year with a machine that cannot produce compare to its other competition in its class. I, myself, was looking forward to the New R1’s being a beast like its 04 predicessor. Someone over on GDC pulled some more info from their site and did a couple overlays. Doesn’t look very flattering for the new R1 at all.
These graphs are all with full Akrapovic systems fitted….you be the judge.

The New K9 Gsxr 1000

When mention to fellow riders, a screw face is ususally the answer. But its the same scenario from model to model. As a new model set the stage for the season to come, it becomes a cesspool of negative thoughts and hesitation.

For the average Rider, its almost always based upon the look of the machine from the moment they see it. But to a Supreme Ryder, we know better. Performance is first, ridibility, ergos(body and postioning), and The cosmetic looks of the machine is set for last.

Here is a couple of details for the next Generation:
