Hello Mark, good to bump into you earlier today (not literally thankfully)! You certainly do not mess around with getting the videos turned around, so good job. Your videos certainly helped shape my decision to get my 2020 MT09, so thanks and don’t be shy to mention it to guys at Crescent if it helps you to continue to deliver these informing videos. Anyway, all the best and keep up the good work mate.
@@markpulling12 looked remarkably small in the flesh and even the red seat looked good on it rather than black. All the best to you and thanks for the replies 👍
No reason I recently bought this bike after not riding for about 6 years, as long as your a responsible rider with just basic skills this bikes safely features alone keep you in amazing control
Thanks Mark, I always make time to sit down and watch your bike review videos. I can't imagine ever riding an R1 but maybe one day I've only had my full licence a few years. Steal black is nice. I wander why the brake and clutch levers are usually silver and not black.
Great review as always!!! It is not that much the height of the saddle, rather than its width that spreads the legs too much. Great screen, it seems very effective. Excellent piece of machinery. Gearing is a little weird, with first gear been extremely tall.
Hi ...it was very smooth ...it has riding modes also so you can choose sharp or soft throttle response but generally very smooth throttle amazing bike Best wishes mark
Hi sir thank you for all the great reviews but I do have a question that is totally off of the Yamaha r1 I really don't need anything that powerful but I am considering either a 2021 Yamaha mto7 or a GSX s750 would you have any good advice on which one will be the better bike for the average Rider ?
Hi Danny ...both are brilliant bikes ...the suzuki is more powerful heavier and more expensive...I'd say if you are new ish to riding get the mt07 ...I've just reviewed the new model it's light and great fun :) Cheers mark
Great video Mark. How would you compare the ergonomics of the R1 to the 2022 BMW s1000RR? More or less lean forward than S1000RR? Legs more or less cramped than S1000RR? Thanks for your comments.
Underseat exhaust's are trash, gets the seat too hot, less space in rear tail unit and most importantly its better to have it lower to have a low centre of gravity so you can flip the bike quicker.
Another great review Mark. Not a bike for me, looks really uncomfortable and can't believe how tall it is. A beast but I reckon it would look better in blue.
Yes agreed r1 s are blue :) Yes an utter beast ... incredible ...so need a racetrack to wind it open ..good fun all the same :) Surprisingly tall for a sports bike Cheers mark
Nice bike , I’d like that cross plane engine , great character from it , seat heights seem to be getting higher all the time this last few years , I’m the same as u with a 30 inch inseam so on some of these newer sports bikes It’s the first thing I measure now before deciding , years ago all seat heights were way lower !!
Isn't the track version the R1-M? I am guessing this one is not electronically adjustable suspension just manual adjustment? Don't think it is as pretty as previous offerings. The R1 always was a very nice looking bike. This one seems a bit Terminator akin to the MT range to me, not a look I'm overly keen on. Never the less it would have to be blue for me. Never ride a black bike. You have to have a bright colour or contrast of colours to stand every chance of being seen. But a good review as usual. I would love to see the out takes, the footage that didn't make the editor's cut .............. ;@).
A great motorcycle.......but for the track only with a pro racer on it.🤔🤔😂😂😂 Can you imagine this thing in city traffic.😬😬😬 But great job at reviewing again Mark.
Hi not quite as strong at say 3-4 k but these modern 1000s rev higher to make more power....but it's amazing ....it revs so fast and freely that before you know it your entering into it's insane midrange 6-7 k and it's literally going ballistic by then So yes definitely a five star engine Regards mark
@@markpulling12 nice. I find the K5 monster low rev torque tricky especially in the wet. I love it but its happiest above 70mph! I might get a second bike for...shopping trips. I fancy a bonny T100 !
How does the power compare to the 04 r1? I mean 998cc is 998cc, I guess its just how its delivered thats different. I heard the 21 is more tame but the 04 is more raw
Hi Jason I owned an 04 r1 underseat exhaust model ...from memory they had approximately 150 hp these new. R1 s have a claimed 198 hp ...you only notice the extra power at the top end of the revs in Normal riding say in the midrange the 04 model is probably stronger ...all very well these bikes having 200 hp at the top but something has to suffer which is usually the mid range Personally if go for a big bang 2010 ish model Cheers mark
@@nbandit2k9 You only ride it 10 minutes a month because of the pain and discomfort it put you in. That and you're more likely to be pulled over for going 200mph
Lmaooo maybe more like an hour or 2 a month 😂. But yeah I agree it's not something you want to ride every day especially if you ride on the streets where there is traffic and stop lights and cops it's just no fun because you can't really push the bike into the revs it wants to be in.... I'd much rather have an MT10 for my main bike... the R1 makes an awesome 2nd or 3rd bike though.
@@grey5135 this is what I’m looking at for a 2nd bike. I find myself going top speed 140mph every time I take my bike out no matter if it’s the interstate or a country back road. Or a bmw1000rr so I can have cruise control. I’d get a Harley but I like going fast too much plus they’re a rip off
So Yamaha says that windscreen does not fit the 2021 r1, but i kinda think it does sweeeet! Got to get it. So far great bike to own, 138 twisty miles on it. So smooth so sick
i bought a 2020 mt09 as my first bike which blows my mind everytime i get on it but i dont know which way to go for an upgrade...... factory v4 aprilia / superduke or R1?
Fabulous bike full of power and technology. Outside the track though, is there a point of stuff like this on the road? Sorry, I'm sounding (abd feeling!) like an old fart lol
In 2008 I bought the new model at the time, thoroughly enjoyable but it ate the tyre in under 6 months with only weekend riding. I love the new R1 but my pockets aren't deep enough boooo
What an amazing bike , but...... i think i mentioned this before in other videos as i am also 5"7 with 30" inch in-stream legs , bikes are getting too tall , really puts me off Anyway great video review as always Best regards Shaun
Begs the question... Why? And the answer... Because they can I suppose. Apart perhaps for bragging rights, makes no sense whatsoever to me. Just me being old I suppose. Rode past North Farm entrance yesterday and found myself looking in half expecting to see you stood there doing a walk around on some bike or other.
@@markpulling12 Dave... Let me know if you have plans to test the new Honda NC750X (Crescent Southampton the only local people with a demonstrator at the moment).

Great review Mark! Simply a scalpel & weapon of mass factor! Now too old for sports bikes.😭
Thanks for the comment steve
Yes an utter weapon !
Always amazes me when big brands like Yamaha with their flagship bikes like the R1 don’t slap on Brembos
Great video Mark. How would you compare the ergonomics of the R1 to the 2022 BMW s1000RR? More or less lean forward than S1000RR? Legs more or less cramped than S1000RR? Thanks for your comments.
Hi Michael the R1 I found to be way more extreme riding position compared with the s1000 rr ...which is quite comfortable I found
Best regards mark
What racer is going to be looking at the dials?
great vid, just started getting into bikes. impossible to ride on this one if you're 5'4?
Not impossible ...but you wouldn't be able to touch your feet down as it's so tall
Great review Mark, stunning bike, deserves so much respect. Maybe one day I'll have the balls to ride one lol
Definitely try one andrew if you can
Regards mark
@Dick superior totally agree, couple months of riding a gsxr750 and I'd happily try an r1 out now 😀
I really miss the under seat exhaust. Great vid 👍

How did you find the tall screen noise wise?
Hi Stuart it was fine ...didn't notice any excess noise ...the bike is too exciting ...I probably wasn't even thinking about the wind noise lol
@@markpulling12 Thanks Mark. I'll try the standard low screen before doing any alterations then.
Take care mate.
Random as,we have the same boots. I've crashed twice and walk away no issue. Replace a few buckles and it's good to go. Nice video by the way.
Thanks, you too!
The best bike for track.
Looking forward to Ninja ZX10RR 2021 review!
Thanks yes hopefully my dealer should get one on demo :)
So my last r1 was a 2006 R1. It was great for a taller and bigger rider. How are the ergonomics for every day riding? I'm 6' 250lbs.
