Does this Yamaha R1 have enough power?

Absolutely insane!

WOW that's a sick bike and an obscene amount of power. I love how he calls a turbo busa with similar power "lazy and piggish." My best friends Corvette puts down exactly 400 horse to the wheels and will absolutely smoke a pair of $900 apiece 345 pirellis, so I do find it hard to believe the "zero wheelspin" claim.

ree dick a luss.

I saw his "100 percent traction" claim. Right....

thats not a motorcycle its a suicide machine!

Most experienced riders can't use more than 120hp and 60 lbs. torque at the wheel.

The Hawk is great for most riders...but it needs the suspension and rider position to get sorted out as it comes up short in that area.

I get to play with a busa occasionally that puts down just a little over 600 bhp to the rear wheel, and I can promise you that it's anything but "lazy and piggish"...

This particular bike is set up with a very moderatly extended swingarm, so it's fairly nippy in the corners, and trust me, there is no problem getting the power down... But 100% traction? Yeah right... It's more than capable of doing a quick backflip and spinning the rear into thash at the same time, without even breaking a sweat... You control the trottle, you control the beast... It's as simple as that...

You can get the busa off the line without spinning the rear though, if you know the bike and feed in the power, letting it work for the traction... But it takes practice... I doubt this thing is any different... And with "only 400 bhp" it should be somewhat easier to handle... But the R1's are a finicky breed even stock, so I guess it's probably no different now...

+1
UnRealistic Concept, and probably a work of art.. I could not even imagine twisting the throttle on something like that..
I rode a GSXr 1k set up for WERA series(8time champion bike) around Barber m.p. - That bike was dyno'd at 190hp.. :eek:

And I still haven't gotten over that day(mentally:shock: )

Wish a friend would buy it, let me ride just to be impressed.

bah, that's just a scooter
