vic_doom69 12-09-2008, 01:56 AM hey just saw this video and it is definitely the best ive seen that really gives a great idea of how the new r1 sounds. http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=35140 sorry if its a repost speedfreak1000 12-09-2008, 07:00 AM good vid wegonemakeit 12-09-2008, 07:45 AM sounds good d7k8gsxr600 12-09-2008, 09:03 AM that sounds AMAZING!!!!!!! with the little whistle to it, it sounds either turboed or super charged kinda, dunno, but i like it !!! njracer 12-09-2008, 09:09 AM that sounds AMAZING!!!!!!! with the little whistle to it, it sounds either turboed or super charged kinda, dunno, but i like it !!! Sounds like gear driven cams.:punk Not sure if the 09 has them but it sure does sound like it. gsxr313 12-09-2008, 10:33 AM That things is bad-ass. diel11 12-09-2008, 01:25 PM Sounds like gear driven cams.:punk Not sure if the 09 has them but it sure does sound like it. Supposedly it's the 1:1 counterbalancer it uses. Other 1000cc bikes use a 2:1 but the 1:1 has a huge gear on it. The M1 uses a big one also and makes the same whining sound on decel. low600 12-09-2008, 07:08 PM is it me or does the lower radiator hose seem really close to the header? IridiumRed 01-19-2009, 07:10 PM That doesn't sound like a typical four cylinder four stroke sportbike It doesn't SCREAM like they usually do More of a ducati DRONE Thing is, I hate ducatis! (I know I know, people love them, and on the street I think they can sound good when they're just cruising around, but I have to be honest, I hate the way they sound on the track! Its just this flat...... drone....... *shrugs*) its_nero2 01-19-2009, 08:21 PM That doesn't sound like a typical four cylinder four stroke sportbike It doesn't SCREAM like they usually do More of a ducati DRONE Thing is, I hate ducatis! (I know I know, people love them, and on the street I think they can sound good when they're just cruising around, but I have to be honest, I hate the way they sound on the track! Its just this flat...... drone....... *shrugs*) it has an awesome deep note...like ducati's but without that nasty dry clutch :) that new R1 sounds pretty sick. Nero Moto_Joe 01-19-2009, 08:31 PM That thing sounds pretty freaking cool. we'll see what they do As a mechanic, the tech is cool as hell on one hand. But DAMN my ear-brain connection is SCREAMING fouled plug. Any of you ever had a I-4 running on three cylinders you know what i mean :lol its_nero2 01-19-2009, 09:23 PM How come we aren't getting more video of the 2009 GSX-R1000??? Nero GraVitY0 01-19-2009, 09:50 PM That thing sounds bad ass. Carnage 01-19-2009, 10:03 PM Sounds like an animal. Me likes. :biggrin diel11 01-19-2009, 10:21 PM Here's from this weekend's press launch. Revs up super fast, like a 2 stroke. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/videos/2009/January/jan1909-yamaha-r1-testrider-onboard-lap/?&R=EPI-105590 COMEBACK 01-19-2009, 11:05 PM Can't turn up the sound.....sitting in a small office whith my boss just in front of me :shifty.....but damn that bike looks good in race trim...much better than the street version its_nero2 01-20-2009, 01:27 AM wow...you see how that fast things revs??? Crazy...looks like fun. Nero IridiumRed 01-20-2009, 07:59 AM That thing sounds pretty freaking cool. we'll see what they do As a mechanic, the tech is cool as hell on one hand. But DAMN my ear-brain connection is SCREAMING fouled plug. Any of you ever had a I-4 running on three cylinders you know what i mean :lol Thats exactly what I thought ! It sounded like it wasn't running on all 4. Just .... weird sound COMEBACK 01-20-2009, 06:42 PM Nice vid and 'weird' sound. Interesting stuff this Crossplane 'big bang' tecnhology. Will we see the other brands follow you think? Moto_Joe 01-20-2009, 07:46 PM ^lol..... Its big bang :scratch I feel ya though :lol. I initially THOUGHT it was when it first came out, until I read further. Seems a lot of people still dont get the difference. Big bang wont make for a good "street" bike yet, not reliable enough from what I gather. lsrad 01-20-2009, 08:04 PM i still like it, even though it sounds like it has a fouled plug lol. the aftermarket exhaust look worlds better too. after looking at the tacometer in action that sucker looks like it will get up and scoot as well. ben spies put in some pretty mean lap times on that thing that's for sure. i'm a suzuki kinda guy but i hope it performs really well in street trim. i guess i am just used to my k1 1k, by the time i get to 4k rpms the bike is acting like a pure nut lol and with the r1's it would not make that same kind of rush until five thousand rpms later. i could see myself owning the r1 probably just to change up a bit and definitely for the sound factor lol. i dunno. COMEBACK 01-20-2009, 08:05 PM IT'S NOT BIG BANG..... Happy now....lol MZA 01-20-2009, 08:13 PM finally they put the mic in the right place, by the exhaust :drool I think suzuki has become too complacent, we need more innovation "Especially with the late arrival of the rules, we kinda had to change some things last minute so there was a lot of hustling required, fed-ex'd it pretty well this month, from yamaha (laughs)" :lol Moto_Joe 01-20-2009, 08:27 PM finally they put the mic in the right place, by the exhaust :drool I think suzuki has become too complacent, we need more innovation "Especially with the late arrival of the rules, we kinda had to change some things last minute so there was a lot of hustling required, fed-ex'd it pretty well this month, from yamaha (laughs)" :lol SDMS......Big Piston Fork front end...... not innovative :dunno. Under slung exhaust for ahwile (although they had to go back away from it, and they werent first..... buel beat them to the punch) zxc1974apeshit 01-20-2009, 08:54 PM Sorry if this is a repost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh00Cy3efvw&feature=channel_page its_nero2 01-20-2009, 09:31 PM yeah it is a repost. but this time i picked up on something the commentator said. at around 1:14 he mentioned, "...the engine is big news. It has the same power and torque as before..." Is that right? Same power and torque as before? Nero diel11 01-21-2009, 05:36 AM Actually it's less. The US model has restrictors in the mufflers for EPA noise regulations, so we get one that is 6-7hp less. US Yamaha has dyno'd 2 bone stock ones and they were pulling mid 140s. The ones in the UK are pulling 150-155. Good news is the exhaust is the first thing to go so it shouldn't be a problem. www.motorcycleusa.com, look for the R1 first impression review. its_nero2 01-21-2009, 12:02 PM Ok....so when these guys are saying that it rockets out of corners, revs so quick, i'm shaking after a ride.....it has the same power. The point of the new engine design is drivability right? Not so much that it is a more powerful bike. But then again, being able to get on the gas sooner coming out of a corner is always a definite plus. hmm...will be interesting to see. I want to hear a review of the 2009 GSX-R1000....c'mon already! Nero k6zook1k 01-21-2009, 12:52 PM sounds cool....with those aftermarket pipes. Which do you think will hurt your ass more, the heat coming off the undertail exhaust or the price of dual undertail exhaust?? lawlbear 01-21-2009, 05:31 PM i love yamaha sorry gixxer forums =P lol | ||
