Yamaha R1 Stills,reviews,specifications.

Digg it !!!

The 2008 Yamaha R1 is a sweet, fast, reliable machine. It is very safe in corners, love the torque and accerlation, and really love how smooth this motorcycle feels overall.


Internally, the engine has several high-tech bits. Aluminum pistons are forged for strength, squeezing the intake mixture at a high 12.7:1 ratio. Connecting rods are fracture-split for added durability, while titanium intake valves are light in weight. A coupling-type balancer rotates opposite to the crankshaft to quell vibration. A ramp-type slipper clutch eases high-rpm downshifts.

The R1’s chassis is also slathered with the New Brush. The frame consists of a cast-aluminum forward section mated to Controlled-Fill die-cast outside rails and extruded inside rails. Like the’08 R6, the subframe is made from magnesium for reduced weight from the outer edges of the bike. The aluminum swingarm is also new. Rake, trail and wheelbase are unchanged from 24.0 degrees, 4.0 inches, and 55.7 inches, respectively.
