- POV Test ride and review of the 2007 Yamaha R1. This R1 was made before the crossplane technology in 2009, hence the sound. The bike is ridden extremely fast in Mexico and on the streets of Mexico while giving impressions are given. 150 horsepower to the rear wheels*
Filmed in Mexico. Filmed on the GoPro Hero 3+ Black. - Авто та транспорт
![2008 YAMAHA R1 Full Superbike Motorcycle Review [YZF-R1 2007-08]](/img/n.gif)
I adore my '07 R1. I also own an '01 but absolutely prefer the '07. I think the styling, power, and sound make it one of the best years for Yamaha liter bikes. 2nd gear on that bike is pure insanity, power wheelies for days.
your shifting makes me cringe
Firestarter I had to stop after 2 minutes. change gear 😔😥
rite worst shifting ever
He raises the rpm's up high in a certain gear.. did it a couple time in 1st gear and a couple in 2nd gear. then once he gets high in the rpms he just rolls off the throttle instead of changing to a higher gear. You don't have to red line it in every gear before shifting. He nearly red lined it (maxed out the rpms), and then proceeded to not shift
I said the same thing to myself! 😂
Firestarter: This is the kind of guy who wonders why he needs a valve adjustment at 15,000.00 miles.
This is the bike that defined me. I loved this bike. I will definitely be buying an 07 again.
What happened to the first one?
@@captainamerica9353 💀💀💀💀
Here goes the SHIFT POLICE.
BRUH!!!!! GRAB THE NEXT GEAR ALREADY!!!!
Its a R1... upper powerband
@@distilledpusswater8473 not what he meant. the guy is nearly redlining and then dropping back down for whatever reason. He is edging us
@@sethamoto9061 dosent that turn you on?
😂😂😂
Why do you rev to the redline, let the RPM drop a few thousand, and then shift so slow? Really strange...
He's trying to break in the engine, ha, ha !!
Made me want to cry
Factory indicates for the 07/08 R1 180 HP@crankshaft, 189HP with ram-air, Euro 95 min. octane fuel config. Mine reaches 295 km/h indicated on 5th gear @ redline (unrestricted autobahn/highway), with one gear still to go, stock config. Awesome engine after 9000 rpm, great brakes and ride position not too much "racing", although my 2001 R1 had more grunt on low/medium revs.
I commonly hear stories that the carbed bikes were the most explosive power wise. 1998-2001
fwh79 Yes, ‘til 8000 rpm, after that...this just vanishes, like a 2 stroke 250 gp like, on steroids
Oh yeah? I have never had the chance to ride anyone R1's... sadly. Hear great things about them. I would like to get my hands on a 2008 white and red. Of course, wouldn't pass up a 1998 either!
I found the lack of low end (less than 6k) irritating hence my thunderace is the daily but after 8k god these move Haha
@@fwh79FOXR6 I had the 98, bought originaly, now I'm on an 05. 05 is amazing.
That bike is more powerfull what crossplane engines, till 2014.
R1 have 2007-2008 model 189hp, with ram air.
John Bonham I’d rather have the 07-08 model over the 2020 or any of the cross plain r1’s or any cross plain, hate the sound, sounds like a cruiser.
That's true 👍
@@shawnlack1527 , that would be: "I'd rather have an 07-08 model over a 2020 or any of the crossplane R1's". And they sound like a V8 more than a cruiser.
Great review mate...I have had my 2007 since January and love it. It's a superb bike and your review is spot on and I enjoyed watching it ;-)
07 08 best pure raw street oriented r1 ever made.
Best gear change 2020 😲
New drinking game = take a shot every time he says flickable
Just got one with 9k miles. Can’t wait to get out more and ride.
Just got one with 16k, thing is a riot
Good review! I have a 07 R1 too with 21,000 mile on it. Still very fast & nimble.
+crisj45 Thanks. They are tons of fun, even though everyone raves about the 09+ crossplane.
Faster r1 ever made 07-08
Dude, thought you were a cruiser rider! Jus discovered ur channel, I watched three of your cruiser vids were you were saying how fast they were! I was lmfao, thinking has he ever ridden a liter sport bike? Funny! They make a lot of noise and nothing much happens! Like your reviews subbed!
Haha thanks man. The cruisers feel fast because they have lots of torque. the power on these sport bikes has to build up.
Thought I was going to come on the comments and mention gear change 😇😂😂😂
hey man are the exhaust completely stock or have you removed the baffles?
Like a kid in a candy store! I've always wanted to ride the previous generation to compare it to my R1. Looks and sounds great!
Flashwing Haha yup Liter bikes are amazing. This one has the powerband similar to the R6 where it builds and builds. I think your bike probably has more low end torque.
archinuk417 yeah the crossplane moves the torque band down a little bit and then has a rather massive HP jump at 9,500rpms. Not quite as smooth as the previous engine.
Hey man, amazing video. This is the bike that I've been looking for. Cause the 07-08 R1 models are like the only ones that has 4 valves per cyl with flatplane crank right? Like they're the only models with same configuration as the other Japanese bikes. Unlike the 06 and older that has 5 valves/cyl while the 09 and new ones has a crossplane crank. Could you give me more details on where I could possibly spot an 07-08 R1. That particular model is the sweetspot of the R1s.
I got lucky and got mine I think it is cross or some things different slipper clutch is a good match go one up for that first gear has a recall on the computer. No traction mode bullshit gear indicators are for girls.
Mine ran 163 at the rear wheel so roughly 175 at the crank when it was none stock. Now it has pc5 and akro cans and decat and last week it ran 171 at the wheel at the same place
Bradders 2016 , I am buying a 2007 with full M4 exhaust and PCIV so now I know how much HP I have, roughly.
Best r1 for its time. Go-ahead and hit it.
Is this a HOW-TO on how to use 1st gear daily?? Engine sounds like its rattling away through the whole vid :/
What does flickable mean
nice video bro!
shift shift shift for christ " s sakes
3:49 - that moment of intimacy
Whats the difference between the 07 and the 08 ?
did he shift once?
R1 2007 tapi masih bisa lari sepertinya motor masih dalam. Kondisi bagus.
Sorry man, stick with smaller bikes, you do not need to keep liters revved up so much, the torque they provide makes that kind of riding pointless and stupid. Also, the review mentioned nothing of interest, flick able, nimble and quick are a given on an R1. You want to mention the build quality of that model, how would it feel as an everyday bike, how pretty it is, features and do some research on common problems plagueing that particular model. You did not even do a walk around. . Seriously. For someone like me in the market of buying one, we want to see how it looks. First impressions or styling is one of the main factors when choosing the next ride, other factors is just garnishing. All you did is take us for a ride on a bike that begged you to get the hell off it.
Preach
ZxRx7 , truth!!
Good Audio & Review,
...thx for prefacing, lol !!!
;)
Dracati Ducati Thanks!
Excellent video, greetings from Ukraine
Have you ridden a motorcycle before?
How many mph were you doing when you said that's the fastest I've been in my life??
Prolly 120😂
Im looking to trade in my 06 636 for an 08 r1. Im getting 4k trade in value and paying 3500 cash out the door for the R1. Its an 08 with only 2146 miles and will come with brand new dunlop Q3s to install in the Spring....i cant wait to take home my new toy. Will be my first liter bike as well. Subbed u....
You end up getting her?
I just Bought my 2nd 07 R1 only has 4000 Miles and I put some nice custom accesories on it. The Blinkers on the stock R1 are ugly as shit. My blinkers are in the actual Fairing and are the same color so you cant really see that there until you use them.
You should ride it on some twisty roads, you may learn something.
"ridden extremely fast" compared to the cruisers you normally ride?! "streets of Mexico while giving impressions are given" WTH??
that should be the last time that dude lets u ride his bike. Shift up much bro?
If I were your friend, you would never ride one of my bikes again after that lack of shifting ... but meh... like the review though
All the heat comes from winding out 1st and 2nd gear c’mon dude shift them gears then stretch it out lol
Lotta haters on here but I thought it was a cool review. Definitely shows the power of the r1 and thats what most came to see :)
Pretty sure they had 170-180 bhp :) good review !
Yea 189, 150-155 to the wheel pretty sure
Bro!! Why do you ride the clutch coming to a stop!?? Don’t do that!! I’m not even going to mention the HORRIBLE shifting because everyone else has🤦🏻♂️🤣
Abe Lombrana well ya mentioned it. So.
What do you need a gear indicator for, your staying in the same gear! What do you mean you don't know what to expect because your new on the bike. ALL SIX SPEEDS ARE THE SAME!!! 1 DOWN 5 UP. IF MOTO THEN 1 UP 5 DOWN. Air in the tires??? Were they flat??? Word of the day: Flickable- the thing I don't do to the gear shifter
Nick Harwood he should have had a sticker with the number 1 stuck on the dash. Then he could have used that as a gear indicator, oh well, finding neutral would be a bitch but other than that the other gears would never be called for i am sure. If I was his friend I would be still making amends with the bike and apologising for putting it through all that torture.
150 hp ya in 1998 when they first came out...
🏁🏁🏁
how does it compare to the s1000r?
Zim Killgore This pulls way harder. The S1000R is just smooth all around.
archinuk417 good to know!! does it pull harder than the bmw rr?
Zim Killgore I haven't ridden the RR but since the new RR will keep up with the Kawasaki Ninja H2, I'm guessing thos wouldn't be as quick.
@@arch417powersports try em on a reflash 100% active throttle power as they come 40% restricted from yamaha .rr is full power same as h2 . A fine example R1 07 08 will kill em all
dont they have 177hp?
175
I d just buyed one, exactly same bike r1 2007 and i'm scared of her... i just got my license for bikes so don t blame meee 😂 BUT I DID GO TO THE REDLINE TILL I LOOKED IN THE DASHBOARD AND I SAW 200KM/H AND I WAS LIKE I M GONNA DIE TODAY.... Was the most intense brake i ever did... My heart was at 10000 beats per MILISECOND . ^^
180 hp and after 2008 182 hp but the bike is much moore heavy
I have the 08 model same bike, believe me these are not 150 bhp, more like 180 to 190 with the ram air, just over 160 at the wheel. My thunderace is about 145 bhp and the 4c8 hammers it after 8k rpm. Also you really need to work on your gear changing, these bikes shift instantly no need to clutch up the box just back the power off and click up, split second job. And finally you dont need to ride it to red line Haha it's not a cg125... trust me if you ride it like a 125 single constantly it will kill you. No being a dick just being real with you. Rather not see folk killed on bikes, three of my mates have gone already, all younger than me and I'm just about to turn 27
Alex Anning, yes, you don't want to join the "27" Club! Take care.
....What do you mean theres another gear???.... lol
When watching a video about bike reviews from USA - Insane, wow, mindblowing
While watching a bike review from EU - ........................ It's fast
Would it be okay to buy a 2007 r1 in 2016... I.mean would it be okay to buy a almost 10 year old bike with 10, 000 miles clocked on it... Will the bike suffer from breakdowns or reliability issues because its 10years old ?
10k is nothing
I owned a 01 R1 for 10 years from 2005 thru 2015. I am kind of regret that I sold the bike and I am currently looking at an 07 R1 as well. The only change I am going to make personally is putting a side pipe on the thing vice the under tail exhaust.
Most bikes (especially Japanese) will last well over 200,000 miles if they're maintained properly and regularly and not ridden madly.
Hey, this comment is old but here is something that might be helpful: I currently have a 2007 R1 that I bough 4 years ago with 15k miles. I now have over 43,000 miles on it. I do track days and I ride all year round ( even in winter if pavement is dry). If you do regular oil changes, air filter maintenance, spark plugs and the valve adjustments every 20k miles it will run like a champ. zero issues. I finally needed to buy a new cam chain tensioner. Only replacement part I have needed.
Thaddeus DaGreat thanks for your valuable reply buddy 🙌😊😊
Why you keep not changing gear? Rev up too much u going to break the engine
You can’t shift
R1 is uncomfortable-wild-unruly and awfully tiring , , , , I love the bitch.
M.R Steengrei is it down on low end power ?
I am going to get one ..never rode a good one but all the reviews actually I can see that they lack power pretty bad on the low rpm spacialy from 1_4 or 5 rpms
what do you think ??
It serves my needs right.I never felt that it is low in power.actually since it is a liter bike, it is difficult to sense whether it is low at bottom range or not,what I can tell you for sure is that it's a really wild bike. I also own a ZX14, but the R1 is much more untamed in comparision. I reach 140 k/hr and I get scared but you dont feel tht way on ZX14 .I have ridden the 14 at 260 k/hr and you dont even feel it. R1 is not a nice handling bike but I geuss it is chosen for "CHARACTER" which she has a lot of. ride safe.
sound's like my wife
R1 not a nice handling bike ???? That makes no sense. Must be something wrong with your bike.
Redlining in 2nd gear wtf
Omg RIP motor!
Never seen a bike being riden so badly. Are you aware the R1 is not a twist and go
?
Shift that damn bike man
Even though it's a yam I still watched it lol
BirdThaWord750 Haha thanks.
My bike is heating the crap outta my thighs too! If i ride more than 30 mins I literally will have huge red burns on my inner thighs & i'm not a big girl either lol!
Honugirl B Yeah the heat is worse than any bike I've ridden. Even Ducati's don't put that much heat out lol
Maddi K I was wearing thin pants also. I think if you would wear jeans it wouldn't be as bad... I don't know any other ways to stop the heat. My old R6 would get hot in the same way.
Lose the Y section ( Midpipe ), and you lose the heat.
"feels as light as my r6" It's lighter than your r6...
I mean its not..
@@distilledpusswater8473 look up the weight of the 04-06 r1 and get back to me. I'll wait lol
@@DefinitelyNotMyron its a 07... why would i bother read the title
@@distilledpusswater8473lol he didn’t reply
You're messing up the motor. Learn how to shift gears or stay off a liter bike
Чё та не валит брат
there actually 177 bhp as standard so if your going to review you should actually know what your talking about.
and what on earth is flickable about. you need to learn how to ride it
2007 buddy. Not 177hp.
He was referring to the crank HP which is 178 or 180 ( Din/PS), depending on where you live.
8:45 if your wrists "hurt" you are riding incorrectly. You are not supposed to hold your body weight up with your arms. Stop being lazy and hold yourself up with your core muscles. Then you can complain about your abs hurting.
fwhg79, it's not the best review, but a lot of people get sore wrists, elbows, necks and cramped legs from Sportbikes. Being young, small, light and in shape helps, but they're not built for comfort!
Most overused word by motovlogger’s... “flickable”
Yeah, like they spend the whole day with their knee down. I have never been on a bike and thought to myself... "This bike just doesn't flick well enough for me!"
I have the same bike. Same color. Got hit by a car on it now it's black lol
I have 17.5k miles. I did have an idle issue if you google it you will see. Just needed the spark plugs replaced and its running like a champ. most of them have an ecu issue where it has a lag in 2nd gear at 50mph.
I havent heard of valve issues with 07s. The valve train on any yamaha is very loud like a toyota. My mechanic who was a yamaha tech said r6s came with very tight valves and if they had been commuted on the ecu tended to make them run lean burning out exhaust valves
Dude you need to shift. Poor engine :(
They are literally made to race where you have it at the top of the tacho at all times.
If it can't handle a few pulls it would never survive a track day
change ur gear madman ..
Reviewing a bike and you’ve never been on a 1000?? Get real
You will kill this bike if you shift like that, when you go off the throttle always upshift
Jesus you hear changing makes me sick, poor bike 😢
u fkn that bike rite up shift dude shift stop riding the gears
