2005 Yamaha YZF-R1 , NOTE *This R1 has an *R* Title When Yamaha unveiled their all-new YZF-R1 in 2004 there was a set of numbers that captured all the headlines. With a claimed 172bhp and a dry weight of 172kg, the R1 was the first mass-produced motorcycle to boast a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, which was incredibly impressive. Well, until Kawasaki got wind and decided to up the bhp (on paper...) of their Ninja ZX-10R when it was launched a few weeks later... Irrespective of headline-grabbing PR, the 2004 R1 marked a huge change for Yamaha. Not only was this generation powered by an all-new litre engine, it came with an elegant new look featuring underseat pipes for the first time, radial brakes and a more refined and classy feel than ever before. The R1 s all-new 998cc motor may have kicked out a claimed 172bhp but the dyno reality is closer to 150bhp with just short of 100Nm of torque. The R1 is a touch thirsty but you reasonably expect to see low 30mpg figures on a normal ride. The fuel light will come on at roughly 125 miles and you have until about 140 miles before you need to really start worrying...The R1 has four-piston calipers which are actually technically a monobloc design. This bike has an aftermarket exhaust. And like all our bikes, this will be fully serviced, inspected and detailed at the time you take delivery.
