Yamaha YZF-R1 can obtain max speed about 186 mph (300Km/h). It is interesting surely for those who love speed and want to try it on a highway. With the new Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. This all but eliminates undesirable inertial crankshaft torque, which allows the engine’s compression torque to build smoothly and provide a very linear power delivery out of the corners. It’s a feeling that’s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: (the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline 4). In fact, the new YZF-R1 is not a continuation of existing supersport development, it is breakthrough technology that represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance.
with high speed sure it must come with high safety. Yamaha added bonus to overall handling and safety, this is the first year Yamaha developers included an electronic steering damper on a production R1. this is to ensure that it is safe when the rider is on a max speed and when conering.
Valentino Rossi thought on Yamaha YZF-R1:
"Through the fully adjustable suspension I can feel every movement from the grippy Pirelli Corsa tyres. A few times I went sideways but all I needed to do was to keep feeding the fly-by-wire throttle until the Pirelli’s found grip on the very slippery tarmac I spent much time on. It was so slippery one day on the motorway that the rear wheel started spinning up in sixth gear! That’s not everyday stuff and tells a tale both about how slippery it was but also about how powerful the new R1 is".
