the Yamaha YZF-R1


Such a hot hot bike... sigh.

I have this desire~

This is the greatest and latest of the Yamaha family of race bikes.
Pics are taken from the Yamaha Motors website.






The Red is probably the sexiest colour offered. I'm pretty partial to the design of the bike, that and besides it goes fast. According to Jinn, this bike beats any Ferarri from a standing start.




I like the clean lines...




It really looks better in real life. Seriously...



















How cool does this look? This bike is too fast in my opinion. And, ofcourse, I'm a bit hesitant over the capacity of this bike.




But, from the closeups... the design is so sexy.




Notice the tiny insignia just under the windshield?




This is what sold me about the bike. How cool is this idea? The exhaust system goes under the seat for a more streamlined design. In a word? Aerodynamics...
























1000cc class capacity engine. No idea what that means except that it goes fast. Anvaar did say once that it goes from 0-100 kmph in abt 2~3 seconds. SECONDS!?! wtf?




















*edit*

Apologies and deepest condolences to Anvaar who had his R1 stolen recently.
Those fkwits who took your bike, sigh...
Hope the cops get your bike back for you, man.
