What year is the rsv swing arm? I think I have the exact same one on my 99
@YZEtcКүн бұрын
The 1998 R1, designated YZF-R1K. I bought one brand-new in either March or April of 1998, and since there was already such a demand for the bike by the time it hit the Yamaha dealer showrooms thanks to the media hype, I was accused of leapfrogging the waiting list by another rider waiting to get his R1. Mine was the nice blue color that everyone knows as Team Yamaha Blue, although it's officially named Deep Purplish Blue Metallic Cocktail 1. I always thought the most notable features were the stacked transmission shafts allowing the longer-than-average swingarm. Well, that's beside the beautiful, high-tech, and light-weight styling of the bike. Yes, the bike even looked light in weight compared to other liter sportbikes. I owned and rode my R1 for three seasons and enjoyed it immensely. For street sport riding like I used it for, the engine was so torquey, you could go on one of your riding buddy's "street rides" (more like hooligan rides) and keep up with the other guys without revving the engine past 6,000 rpm if you chose. The bike always gave me a great handling feel, felt confidence-inspiring, has a fantastic engine for sport riding, strong brakes with excellent feel, good suspension, and killer looks that got you noticed. All-in-all, a very memorable sport bike for me.

sorry for late comment, please answer, what rpm should i go on my cbr1000rr for casual riding ? if i go halfway of the max rpm like many say it tends to overheat, and im scared to go too low to not force the engine...i saw you go at about 3500, is lower ok ? or that should be a standard rpm, then set the speed using the gears, and once in a while go to 7-8k rpm to "make it cough" a bit

A bit of a marmite bike but one that I’ve considered a time or two, I like marmite bikes and am currently running a 99 GSX750F, another fine marmite bike. You either love it or hate it although I’m not entirely sure where I sit with the TLR. I’d probably go SV1000s if I were to take the plunge, same motor, better handling, better looking.

Owner why i chose CBR 500r over Ninja 500: Bike looks bigger and is bigger (180cm 85 kg) . Efficient power for beginner like my 43 yo. Comfy. IMO, red color looks incomparable better in real life and is real head turner :)

I dont see the appeal. I would think that itd be intrusive in low speed situations. As for stalling i think that just comes down to knowing your bike. Maybe theres somthing im missing.

yes you're missing something its called convenience. I've tried it out it works perfectly and has literally no downsides except like 2 pounds of added weight

@sk4le maybe. But I've never stalled my bikes on accident. To me it's more to go wrong because the rider wasn't comfortable with their bike.

@@county_bear9509 its not because using the clutch is hard. its because it just makes it less of a hassle. the same reason people buy automatic cars instead of manual. people like things that make life a bit easier
