- Can you believe the Yamaha R1 will no longer be made? Do you agree with Yamaha? Why didn't you do your part and buy more liter bikes? What is wrong with you? Why didn't you do more? You could have done something. You didn't. You sat there and let it happen. I can't believe you.

This news was so shocking I literally grew hair. Can't wait for people to try to sell their clapped R1s for $27,000 on CL and say its a "collector's item"
"Can't wait for people to try to sell their clapped R1s for $27,000 on CL and say its a "collector's item" " Erm, you might not be old enough to remember when people used to say that about Kawasaki H2 Mach IV 750cc triple 2 strokes....& yet that's what actually happened,! Now you can't touch an unmolested one for less than $10,000.
Yammie seriously, please tell us other bald or balding men, what you did to have hair again??
Did you do transplants? Where did you go and much did it cost??
Youd get a lot of views for posting a video on this
will this have any effect on world superbike? afaik they ride bikes that can be purchased at your local dealership... so no more yamaha there? :\
Might aswell just get the CBR1000RR-R brand new instead... D:
You beat me to the comment 😂. Looks good on u bro
excuse me he has the ability to grow hair?
I think he made and implant, is quite common nowadays
I came here to ask the same question
Never underestimate my power
He will be doing bosley ads soon
He’s been using keeps😂😂😂
As a European this makes me sad. The R1 isn't even my favourite liter-bike, that'll be the RSV4, but it still sucks to see such an iconic bike get killed
We should just discontinue our EU government.
@@nonyabusiness4151If BMW, KTM, Aprilia, Ducati and other European manufacturers are capable of meeting Euro 5 you have to question why Yamaha aren't. They've been losing bigly in racing over recent years so maybe they now know they're way down the list of great race bike manufacturers. You rarely see them on the streets. Everyone wants to ride a winner and that's not a Yamaha.
@captainwin6333 Note: The inline 4 has a harder time meeting emissions than a V4. Inline 4 takes sweeping corners in a grid of bikes, taking V corners.
EU needs to be scrapped.
It's funny that European manufacturers have no problem altering their machinery to meet the Elites requirements, but you didn't bother to mention any other companies...
Frankly, I don't care. R1 is a legend of a bike and just another thing on a long list that the government has taken from the people.
@@captainwin6333it's a high revving inline 4 problem. KTM is using a big twin, Ducati and Aprilia V fours. This was even quoted as a big driver in the push for twins over the last decade, they're cheaper to build and easier(this cheaper) to meet environmental regulations with.
@@captainwin6333I don't want a winner, I want Fun and reliability. 😁
I saw this coming a decade ago. Not just for the R1 but superbikes in general. I started riding in 1992 on an FZR 600. At that time you could get a top of the line 1000cc "monster" for about $6999. While still a lot of money it was within reach of us late teens early to mid 20's guys. When you start making your sportbikes only affordable to people who either get one and struggle to pay their bills or established older riders with great jobs what do you expect to happen to your sales? These bikes are designed for and flogged by 20-30 year olds and I don't know about you but 75% of this age group can't afford much more than the bare essentials let alone to toss out $25,000-$35,000 for a toy. Chevy did the same thing with the Camero. It was designed to be the young mans affordable Corvette. Now it's the same price or more expensive and they wonder why their target market doesn't buy them like they used too. I feel they should cut back on the the electronic B.S. and make them like they used to. Simple, fast, and affordable to the market that wants them. Fu$% the modes that 99% of people never use. Go with simple yet decent suspension that can be upgraded by the user. There is so much "Oh look at me I'm shiney and techy" on new bikes that is just stupid fluff that doesn't need to be there other than to add cost. Get back to what made the class great and stop fluffing them up with BS nobody needs on the street. Just my $.02.
Well said and I agree 100%.
This goes not just for bikes, or liter bikes for that matter, but for all vehicles. Every car is built like a mobile super computer. The options for cheap and simple vehicles without extraneous electronics decreases every year.
This is bad for young customers and anyone who just wants a simple mode of transportation and doesn't care to drop 10s of thousands for additional fluff they will never use.
I hope we get back to simple manufacturing in the near future. Hopefully we do with price pressure of materials. But looking at the ridiculous regulations and requirements from governments and the EV dream(nightmare), the more likely outcome is many normal people are permanently priced out of vehicle ownership.
The more cynical part of me thinks that may be by design.
It's all about safety and emissions regulations. Sadly the government doe snot want you to own or enjoy anything. Their stated creed is "you will own nothing and you will be happy". They are currently pushing for electronic nanny speed governors that will actively respond to you speeding with some tactile warning, then if you continue to speed, it will forcibly drop your vehicle to the speed limit no matter what you do to it.
We would need a government, both in Congress and in the White House to essentially gut the tiered "fleet percentage" emissions standards that they've slowly been implementing so as to not shock the people into noticing too much.
A lot of the electronics stuff is about emissions compliance. If you know everyone's just going to put your bike in sport mode all the time anyways you can make it pass emissions tests in gimped mode - and as long as that's a user visible switch and not a hidden "test cheater" toggle, they can't punish you for it.
But, why go for the R1M and not the R1?!.. i feel like to agree to what you say, and but the cheapest version and upgrade it ureself.. that was i was plan here in EU, but if the soon gonna kill it i might go for a bmw, but i like yamaha Also. SO it quite sad to see people only buy expensive Kawasaki and ducati and bmw's.. But i hope bikers in US can have them a bit longer :)
That's why they have the R3. 7-8 grand to buy one.
What the fuck i leave for a few months and yam has hair?
Yepppp
Well hair is something els, this looks like pubic hair :)
Helmet is wearing it off. Maybe he should check his fit.
It's because Manscaped is no longer giving him the sponsorship
Get ready for the R2! 2000cc inline 6
don't forget the potential of an R3 - 3000cc inline 8
What about R4X 5L twin turbo V10
Still holding out for the R69, inline 6, Twin Turbo V9
😂😂😂
Can't forget the R0! The new 0cc fully-electric 250hp $40000 halo bike!
The only problem is the fact that everything is 100% more expensive than it was 5 years ago. Since it's hard to even buy groceries, companies like yamaha charging 20K for a motorcycle means they won't be selling motorcycles.
Meanwhile Lamborghini had a record sales year in 2023.
@@ChrisS-nj3yeThe wealth had to go somewhere, oy vey....
@@ChrisS-nj3yeWhat do you expect when leftist socialists and RINOs debt spend into massive currency devaluation and hyper-inflation. Has nothing to do with companies and everything to with those that vote for such things? Also includes the woke clinate alarmists. Europe is only a few years from banning IC powered veh8cles entirely via emissions standards that are virtually unachievable.
people buying lambos dont care about buying a r1 lol they will buy the lambo edition ducatti lol...we are talking about normal people here not the elites who can afford a lambo@@ChrisS-nj3ye
@@ChrisS-nj3ye All that Covid stimulus got used to purchase things, and those things went straight to the asset holders. Printing money is simply a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich. Not only does the stimulus flow to those with assets, but because of inflation the assets actually become cheaper overall relative to those already holding them.
Yam grew hair just so he could pull it out from hearing this news
lmao
I'm heartbroken! I'm 64 years old and STILL trying to figure out how I'm going to own a Yamaha R1 any year from 2003 and up! It's on my bucket list 😁!
go for it I guess they wont get any cheaper
and then have fun 👌
Hello Yammie. I'm in Uganda. Here our bikes only average about 125cc. There are some 150cc but mostly 100cc for public transportation. It has always been my dream to own a bike above 400cc. I hope to achieve it one day.
I am from Germany drove some 600cc here for training but going about with my 110cc bike in Saigon is way more enjoyable. Since it is so light and nimble.
Same case here in India.
to have faster bikes you need better streets and a flowing traffic. Or else it will be your garage bike cause you wont be able to use its full power and you might feel tired of the heating engine mid traffic. countries in development mostly have commuter bikes cause ppl cant afford to have more than one bike, or buying bikes just for fun. Ppl who can afford to have a car easily, or other bikes, they can buy bikes just for fun.
Get focus my brother and work to achieve your dream. I just bought the CFMOTO 450SR (450SS in USA) here in Angola 🇦🇴. It’s my first bike, but surely will not be the last 😁
Honestly, you have the best fun bike already. I used to have a gixxer and a cbr f4i, I sold them both and now I have Yamaha XSR900 cc and Kawasaki z125CC both 2023. I sold them because those bikes are just highway bikes, just boring, missing out the whole world. Now I go on adventures on z125 all the time and have so many adventures planned for it. The XSR900, I have only ridden it on power level 1 only once out of the 4 power modes. If I was to recommend a bike would be Honda CRF250 to 300 CC L/S Rally etc - dual sport.
I have been curious why Yamaha hasn’t launched a next Gen R1. I now know why.
100% , me too. The latest Gen is getting a wee bit tired. Still. Now we know.
Maybe they're working on a V4 🤔
@@ganuvien REALLY, great point! Could you imagine the sound of a CrossPlain V4 ?? , I cant.. but based on that consideration.. I'll wait, Still. If MotoGP hasn't seen it yet, I'm sure it ain't coming, as much as the idea has me moist !
@@ganuvien Considering how the V4s have been dominating GP I wouldn’t be surprised. I saw an article somewhere that Yamaha was fine with the cross plane but I don’t buy that.
Because r1 is going to be replaced with something faster cooler and yammerfying
thankfully the r1 is just fiction, as we all know a stretched turbo busa is the only bike that actually exists
😂😂😂😂. True
Turbo busa = best bike. Change my mind!
A turbo busa is the true beginner bike
OMG this is horrible. Sad sad news.
The R1 is a legend since its 1st model. Breaks my heart to hear this.
I shared the info on the R1 going away with a buddy of mine and he climbed up on my deck rail and threatened to jump.. Brought him down with your video.. You've saved his life.
euro 10 is gonna throw us back to single cylinder 50cc at this point.
I have finally got my first bike and hearing this on the same day is heartbreaking, dreambike
I live in the UK, and unless you are a trackday enthusiast, a sportsbike is a high-priced, high-maintenance licence shredder. Camera monitored low-speed limits (eg. almost all of Greater London is now 20mph) are making anything fun a thing of the past.
😂
Ride without a plate
Last month I went to my Yamaha dealership here in El Salvador (Central America) and the sales guy told me that if I wanted an R6 that I could get one... apparently the Japan factory still makes the R6 by special order and can be sent to countries with no emission regulations (or not as strict at least). I figure the R1 and R1M would be the exact same treatment... I hope this gives us a bit of hope for the future.
They probably assemble overproduced parts that are „left over“
Yes you can still buy an R6 but its Track oriented and doesn't come with Lights/Signals etc for Road Use.
Banking on this for South Africa.
@@zudosmg No no, they will assemble a normal R6 for the streets. The Yamaha sales guy told me they just received one last year from the factory in Japan.
After busting my ass for 20 years trying desperately to get ahead financially, I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel…
Aaaaand all the bikes I lust for are getting discontinued now that I might actually be able to buy one.
uhm, i'm not sure about that. Not trying to discourage you but oftentimes, the prices of the bikes that are being discontinued goes skyrocketed like in the case of R6. so yeah.
but still i believe you can get the dreambike you're always aiming for!
@@josh6567thanks bruh.
To be clear I already have a garage full of kickass bikes, they’re just not state-of-the-art.
My local dealer knew that a year ago. All of them knew through their usual channels. They even ran a Facebook ad informing about last batch available and placed Feb 2024 as EoL date.
I don't like where this is going...
Get a Harley-Davidson 😂
Hey Vivs, Satan here, and we like where this is going very, very much. They’ll make a track R1 and R1M, just like they still make a track R6, and we will all ride them illegally on the street. But there will now be one new thing happening all the time, everyone will run. Everyone. Because operating a closed course vehicle that has never been registered means it can be impounded on a permanent basis. Welcome to the brave new world 🔥👹🔥
@@smith8124 🤣🤣🤣
@@smith8124 I mean the liter bikes run anyway, why not more fun eh
@@gordondatrain Some run, but majority of the time even the liters stop. Not going to be the case when you’re operating a closed course race vehicle on gov land. They can straight up take your bike forever under these circumstances. People won’t be running to avoid a hefty ticket. They’ll be running to avoid losing their bike… permanently. NOBODY is going to stop.
I am not sure how I feel about it. I love my 2020 R1, its the most beautiful bike. I ride it at the track mainly and it only has 3,500 miles. The Zx6r is what I ride the most and my CBR 600RR. I've always wanted the newer style R6 but they pricey AF.
3500 miles 🤔 how could u love that bike.
You must really really love inline 4 sports bikes
I am still kicking myself in the ass for selling my R6... click my pic... thats all I have left of it... the video
THIS is so SAD! I am in tears right now 😭.
My BELOVED R1s are about to be discontinued. First my beloved R6 was discontinued in 2020, and now the R1 in 2024! 🙁
To me, no other bikes are more RACE READY right out of the box than the R1 and the R6. The R6 ESPECIALLY, has a very special place in my Heart because I won trophies with that bike. I was hoping one day to RACE an R1 in the OPEN classes, but then Life Happened 🙁
Now both bikes are NOTHING BUT a MEMORY.
I am sad that both R6s and R1s are no more, but at the same time, I AM VERY HAPPY that both the R6 AND R1 HAPPENED! and very HAPPY I GOT to EXPERIENCE BOTH. ❤
Never tried an R1, but I have a Tracer 9 (CP3 engine), there's no way that could keep up with an R1.
An R9 with a CP3 isn't really a replacement for an R1, it would probably be as fast as an R6, but with more power on lower RPMs.
i have a 02 r1 ..drove a 2017 r1m ..i also have a fz09 ...the 09 is faster 0-60 past that the r1 just keeps pulling like a freight train all yhe way to go to jail speed and beyond lol..i love my cp3 engine but there is nothing like the feel of a liter bike inline 4 engine
Yamaha gonna come out with the V4R1
Highly doubt so due to cost…
@@sookainian I wouldn't doubt it. They can't compete with the rest of the bikes on the grid. They can make a V4, then sell 500 of them as track only bikes so they wont have to comply with emissions. Just a hopeful idea 😅
Lolol. Seriously. Yamaha R1 crossplane is one of the best bikes you can buy and is a National Leader on the trac as well. This bike will also last far longer than a Ducati or Aprillia. Lolol@easygesus
@@roberthiggins1419 yea, but they’re losing every weekend where it matters lol. They need a V4. That crossplane aint enough anymore unless they can find another rider like Rossi.
@@Spikestriple 500 units won’t cover their R&D cost to design a new engine n chassis… a lot of this big companies are only interested in selling products that will make money… wining races won’t help a company make money. Per race season if I’m not wrong cost around $30-40million
that is the way things will be ...EU5+ is kicking in and soon will be EU6. Gone will be R1, GSX, CBRs, Ducati's Desmo, along with Ninja. We will all be riding Electric Vespas.
Indeed. The Euro regulations are slowly killing off motorcycles.
That ''the office'' reference is rewarded with a thumbs up. I actually laughed, prob because i could relate. My search history since 2022 has been filled with ''wen yamamaha r9 relese pls''
"NOOOOOO!!!" - me, who will probably never buy a liter sportbike
Makes sense why there was never an announcement about the next generation R1 considering it was due for an overhaul
My A2 licence and I are sad we were too late to the party
Bro , non si è mai troppo in ritardo se si è già in ritardo... Io amavo il BMW RR serie 2016 e ho lottato come un dannato per averla per poi scoprire appena comprata che la mia serie era appena stata chiusa per una nuova .. lotta e fai risuonare qualche bel scarico di qualche bel millone che ultimamente non ce ne sono più in giro
R9 confirmed 110% then I guess🤷♂️. Still sad to see the godly cp4 go away in Europe where I live. The EU ruining everything😔
If they keep the MT-10 the CP4 will still be alive
Stoked for the R9
Wow - just wow! Nice reporting.
Honestly, although it's sad to see such legends as the R6 & R1 fade away, I have a Yamaha with that 900cc CP3 engine in it & it is AWESOME! I can only imagine what an R9 might be like.
I've been saying for years that Yamaha should make a fully-faired version of the MT-10 and have it go up against the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 and Suzuki GSX-S1000GT. Keep in mind the Ninja 1000 is nothing more than a Z1000 naked bike with fairings. The MT-10 replaced the FZ1. Both generations of the FZ1 had optional full lowers that, when installed, made the bike look like a sport bike and not a naked bike. The MT-10 puts out 168 bhp. With headers, the right slip-on, and a reflash, you'd now be approaching 180 bhp. And since the powerplant is a detuned version of a previous generation R1, maybe there are some go-fast goodies still available that the right person can properly install.
Yam with hair is a look I don’t think I’m ready for

@@Dailyrider94 you don’t think they pay her to push their bullshit globalist agenda? Open your eyes. 🤣🤣
My wife bought my 2007 R1 for Christmas december 2007. I am 66 now and still ride it and still luv it. While I don’t ride as much now as I did when I was younger it is still a great bike. The R1 has been a part of my life for a long time and will remain in my stable. God I luv my wife and my R1….
NEVER…let her go! And I’m talking about your wife.
As a previous XSR900 owner who now has a MT10 the R9 is the bike i've been anticipating for to fill my desire to have a supersport for a 2nd bike in the garage because I love the torque of the CP3 and sound and it's not overkill for the street... it's the perfect balance of power I want in a supersport.
I HATE the way the sport bike market is going. Makes me sad.
Yammie's Hair Arc going crazy.
Ive had enough of inline 4s after having a GSXR 750 for 2 years. With my type of riding im fine with the inline 3s and twins. That said seeing the r1 get discontinued is a sad day regardless. Im hoping the r9 will be something im interested in
Over here in the UK, the biggest problem is that less young people are getting into bikes to start with, traditionally you started on the road at say 16/17 and progressed to super bikes in your 20s, that market is dead here, so they are selling to a mush older market, as an older guy, comfort is more important than a cramped mega bike.
Shit Brother that bald spot hit me hard at 3:21 I feel your pain 🤣😂🤣
Yammie rocking the Dashboard Confessional, emo look now?!?
Dude, when did you get hair? Not sure how I feel about that. Kind of like putting fairings on my Speed Triple.
Hopefully the 9r comes out soon I need to get my second bike started out on a 500 Honda rebel
Dropped out of snowmobiles for 2025 too. Way behind Can Am and Polaris in the off road toys. Those golf carts are god tier though.
3:08 LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣 I can definitely relate to that 😂😂😂
Very sad! I used to have an R1 that I rode in the canyons and on the track. What an AWESOME platform. I wish I still owned it 😢
The "In Europe" really gave me some relief
Yammi is showing off his edge up.
I've had all the Yamaha R1's since they were released, before that I had the Genesis and Exup 1000's. Its a sad time, I am not far off 60 and have last R1-M since 2016, I bought a MT-10 sp back in 2017 and another one in 2021 because they are more comfortable for the road.
I only ride in San Diego so an R9 def makes more sense to me. Let's see it!
Why the fuck does yams have hair??????
Bro went to San Andreas barber
Manscaped is no longer a sponsor
R9 is coming though will it be equipped with a base CP3 engine or a tuned version. 🤔
Yammie grows hair, Yamaha kills the R1.
Yammie, what have you done?
I currently ride a z400. I hoped I could ride an r1 in the future as it is my dreambike after the r6 which was also discontinued. I hate where motorcycling is going
The r9 sounds cool but I don't think it will have anything on the mv agusta f3 800
Love my yellow 16 anniversary R1 a beast on the roads amazing sounds
Those market changes are another reason to consider getting a cbr600rr, its a 120hp 600cc, and its been some time we had that package for the money.
Can you make a video on the R9?
Yammie with hair is sacrilegious.
If a company is willing to leave a market on the table, they are not going to struggle. That means they have something around the corner to substitute that market.
0:24
My exact response when I saw that you have hair.
I just had my first kid and was going to sell my R1 this summer. I might have to keep her now!
It’s not just the r1, Honda followed suite to stop selling lawnmowers in the u.s. due to cost of recalls….
Dealers in the uk sell r6s from 2010 models onwards for crazy prices and they sell too
Im now 19 and my plan was buying a R1 in a few years. But I think the R1s existing now will become more expensive then loosing worth.
It’s insane that a motorcycle is being pushed out of the market due to emissions, yet T-Swizz can fly a private jet to get milk 🙄
HAIR?! looking dapper my guy
Hair plugs are looking good 😂😂
WOW! I Saw the trajectory years ago stricter emissions is only a part of it I new liter bikes approaching $20K and 600s approaching $10K would be a threshold the public would wrestle with the R 6 is already a casualty I believe the public would stand a $13K 600 & a$24K 1000 but $15 & $25k would be more than they would stomach if the answer is to return to 900 twins there's a guy named Carl Fogarty who had some success with that 🏁
Suberbikes are de-evolving. We are back to the 90's with powerfugures with these twins and triples. The 900RR is what we are back to. As long as you have all these gadgets nobody cares. I remember when the GSXR750 came out and blew us away! I've been devastated for years now and I'm holding on to my S1000RR which is getting old but right where I want it to be and still is spectacular in my eyes. R.I.P R6 it will never be forgotten as one of the best Supersports I've ever had the pleasure to experience. The world is just not the same! We demanded speed and performance and that was what we got. You demand tech and fancy dashes and buttons and that's what you get.
I'm in shock you're not wearing a cap

Gimme some opinions
Did we have a video about Yammy's hair?
Over here in the UK, where in the late 90's and 2000's the 1000cc sports bike out sold everything, along with the rest Europe the writing has been on the wall for some time now, the past 15 years at least. They have been a product of their own demise as the arms race between manufacturers has pushed power to 200bhp and more they have become almost pointless as a road bike and almost no one is buying them. The old saying, its more fun to ride a slower bike fast than a faster bike slow has never been so true as very few can actually use all a 1000cc sports bike, even on a track, and to try on the road is almost suicide. Sure its a sad day, I still own an early R1, but if they can't sell them in numbers why make them.
I was lucky enough to buy a new bike two years back and I went for the super duke, as even my rsv1000rr twin had me well over the motorway speed limit on my way to work. The ktm is so much fun, but it stops me from sitting at three figures as there is no wind protection. I have some soft luggage for it and the full akra system/mapping, so it is pretty close to 190bhp and tons of torque to play with. It makes me giggle like a child every time I ride it. This year I am going to be tracking it alongside the RSV. I would love a 1000 IL4, but there are more and more average cameras everywhere and the standard of driving of everyone in a box seems to be going downhill.
holy shit, I haven't watched any of your videos in like 3 years... now you have more hair than when I i first found your "channel" with like 100 subscribers... youtube money works miracles.
Its extremely upsetting to hear that Yamaha is cutting the R1, but im glad i bought one a couple years ago. My dream bike will be sticking around for a long time.

Gsxr1000r is still sold where i live, however the 1000 and 600 are not
I love it! C ya!
These bikes are awesome but they make more sense on a poster in a kids room than in a garage of someone that can actually afford them. I really dig the 8R and that's where the market should go, naked bike livability with super sport looks.
When the going get tough the tough close shop
Definetly not selling my R1 in near future then :D
The market will skyrocket!! I am really looking forward to that.
ALSO: R9 will be for sure the next step
It means something way better is coming
Yam been to turkey it seems
Supersport bikers already moved towards more technical bikes like Ducati or Bmw. Japanese constructors have a serious problem of vision and must ask themselves what they really want because supersport riders already know.
Bro imma seriously consider getting a r1. Maybe the go way up in value in the future
Theyre just discontinued for streetuse in the EU. Even in the EU there will be a Race Edition available like the R6 Race. Look up R1 GYTR.
The new R6 in Australia is a track bike only. So it can never be legally ridden on the road
I hope it's being replaced by a V4
Must buy one immediately. I mean, I haven’t for the last 25 years they’ve been on sale, but you know.
finally watching this dude without the cap, mofo looks fkn insane! Yammie, o7
I'm getting annoyed by these Euro regulations. They have killed two legendary Yamaha sportbikes and looks like they are not going to stop. They don't even make that much sense now that we know the tires actually pollute the air more than ICEs. I'm not a sportbike simp, I got an SV1000S and it is uncomfortable for me. But I'm an inline 4 simp
