Riding the MotoAmerica Superbike Champ's Yamaha R1 | Onboard Video

Motorcyclist Senior Road Test Editor Ari Henning Get’s the Opportunity to Sample the MotoAmerica Championship-Winning Monster Energy Graves Yamaha YZF-R1 Superbike!
--
The 2015 MotoAmerica Superbike championship came down to the wire. Entering the last race weekend of the season at Thunderbolt Raceway in Millville, New Jersey, factory Yamaha teammates Josh Hayes and Cameron Beaubier were separated by just 18 points. Cameron came out on top, securing his right to run the #1 plate on his Monster Energy Graves Yamaha YZF-R1 next season.
The day after the races though, the team had already applied #1 decals to the stunning black-and-yellow 60th anniversary livery on 22-year-old Cameron’s R1 superbike. I was fortunate enough to be there to witness it first hand, and shortly afterwards I had the rare opportunity to wrap my hands around the grips on the champ’s bike and rip it around the Thunderbolt circuit for a handful of very intense laps.
Weighing in at just 370.5 pounds (the class weight limit is 370.0 pounds), putting down somewhere around 200 horsepower, and carrying a six-figure price tag, this is one focused, uncompromising version of our 2015 Motorcycle of the Year.

[@jsin22366322]

Are the motors upgraded? I wonder if there's any YEC components.

[@650hpreventon]

For motor America superbike class ,you can upgrade all engine parts. But for superstock it's very strict, I think only a couple parts, racing cams, light shaft maybe.

[@TheINDIAN]

hey ari try the ktm cup 390 series and also please inform how to get those parts on the cup bike and which parts are worthy of being used for the street for eg breaks .

[@CRLAMB]

I'd also like to see this :)

[@namphan5130]

Why did you do the review like that? Now you make me want to ride this bike eventhough I know, that's fucking impossible

[@jitterball]

"He was so nice he let me pass him..." Um, he actually fell behind and made it seem like he is letting you pass. How about that^^

[@Astute_white]

[@swiggs324]

why do motogp riders use Bridgestone and these guys use Dunlop

[@blombardo83]

sponsored

[@JohnnyWooh]

+Swiggs MotoGP just switched to Michelin even

[@RyanMcIntyre]

+Swiggs The series have contracts for spec tires.

[@antdx316]

+Swiggs because Dunlop is probably the best
used in Isle of Man TT doubt they would use nothing but super sticky on that track, they can go off the cliff

[@iudiguerra]

+Anthony Abelardo Ben Spies disagrees. www.cycleworld.com/2016/03/25...ires-ben-spies
