r1 owner here-- the thing I would have added re: urban use, beyond just the coolant temp - the bike in general **GETS** **HOT** hot hot hot hot HOT. If you're not going 70+ it just doesn't have the airflow to keep itself appropriately cool for urban riding. This means the aux fans kick in early / often / (always). You will abhor every stop sign/red light on the planet, as motion is your only savior from drowning in the lava-cycle's fiery wrath. The "fire logo" you put on this thing is 100% appropriate. If you live in phoenix like me, the dead of summer actually becomes an off-season. Good thing all winter is fair game! That said, not in a million years would I trade it for a cbr/gsxr/aprillia/bmw. Mayyyyyybe a duc. Maybe- but that would be a 35-40k bike, and this is ~19k.

I have owned 3 of them, one an R1M. They are magic on the race track, not to mention faster back roads. Miserable around town though or on rough backroads, though the current generation is better in that regard than the previous. It is a really well built motorcycle.

@amaximus5753 2 ай бұрын

Definitely not designed for long rides. This has to be one of the most track-focused bikes I've ridden. You mentioned how smooth it is, and I 100% agree. On track it's amazing. The R1M is even sweeter, give one of those a try on the track. Both deserve to be on the race track.

It is far from a beginner bike. This generation R1 is very track focused. Ok on short street rides, but they are definitely designed for the race track. They feel great to ride, so smooth with loads of power. Hence your laughter when riding it. Good video, loved it.

As Zack recommended the Street Triple 765 to mark_craver, I can only agree. I have a 2020 RS. Comfy position for daily riding, commuting and the weekend twisty run, but when you take it to the track and set up the suspension (only takes 2-3 minutes) and electronics to track mode, oh boy. It feels like you have a separate bike for track days. The intake sound is addictive too.

If I understand correctly, the R1 engine is so smooth because they can't remove the balancer, unlike all the other regular inline-4s that have deleted the balancer because they have end-to-end balance naturally to chase peak whp (but not totally balanced, so they still vibe without a balancer).

'98 to '01 (carbureted) bikes were bottom end and midrange monsters, not as much peak HP as newer versions, but a lot stronger off idle that made throttle control paramount. And yes they were definitely the 'smallest' ergonomically, and the shortest wheelbase and also the lightest of them all.

It's bit harder to initiate counter steer compare to the V4. V4 is twitchy so it turns really fast and easy. R1 is smooth and stable. the word best describes the R1 is REFINED

This is a balanced and true review. I spent time with a 2020. The only thing it excels in is the sound and engine attitude. It tortures and fatigues the rider like old Ducati's used to. It's too focussed when it doesn't really need to be. It's not the best on the road, not the best on track. The focus doesn't make it greater than the competition. Too compromised everywhere, not great anywhere. Current gen GSXR-1000R and ZX-10R (I own both), not to mention the Euro options are far better bikes, IMHO.

I lucky to live in the outskirts of western Oregon with lots of curvy roads and not much population so everywhere is kinda a private race track.

@haroldscott9525 2 ай бұрын

I own this exact bike and frankly couldn't agree more with the entire review. It's a bad (perhaps laughably so) streetbike and a great trackbike, with a unique character that somehow manages to feel pretty intoxicating in both settings. Truly more of a lust object than a rational choice. Totally fair criticisms about the small display, humdrum suspension, and so-so brakes aside... I have to point out that you do get a peppering of exotica compared to much of its similarly-priced superbike competition: cast magnesium wheels and subframe, titanium exhaust headers (and much of the muffler, if I'm not mistaken), titanium intake valves and titanium connecting rods.
