eisfeld Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 A new R1 is coming and there is a teaser video now. They will reveal it November 3rd which I guess means they'll show it at the EICMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have a feeling this will be the big release in terms of 2015 litrebikes. The 2015 S1000RR was announced yesterday and got a lukewarm reception even on the S1000RR forums as the base price has increased 2000 USD and the key new features like DDC are optional extras that you pay more for. It's also a bit "odd" looking although undoubtedly still a great bike, I'm looking forward to viewing one when it gets to Thailand and seeing what options they offer here. I just have a feeling the all new R1 might surpass it with the crossplane crankshaft and talk of 220 hp. Might also be substantially cheaper.

RubberSideDown Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 No doubt it wasn't unveiled at Intermot to avoid looking 'puny' next to the H2 R'S 300hp- it will likely compare more favorably to the street version H2 in power specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-BKK Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) The Kawasaki Ninja H2 is powered by a forced induction engine, all major motorcycle manufacturers have something like that in development... If you look how it works with Japanese companies, Kawasaki will introduce first with the help of Honda, then Suzuki will introduce something what is similar but just a tiny bit better... Then Yamaha will introduce something what is faster and more race-track focused... en in the end Honda will introduce something what is more useful, more fuel-efficient without loosing much of the raw power... they will have the most knowledge as from day one Keihin will provide the fueling for the Kawasaki Ninja H2. Keihin is an affiliated company with Honda Edited October 2, 2014 by Richard-BKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) we have an open thread here with the same name! you dont search while opening a thread? http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/728183-yamah-r1-2015/?p=7888063&hl=%2Byamaha+%2Br1+%2B2015 Nasty tone again mate.

denkiblue555 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 If you look how it works with Japanese companies, Kawasaki will introduce first with the help of Honda, then Suzuki will introduce something what is similar but just a tiny bit better...

Keihin is an affiliated company with Honda Wow - that is terribly misleading information, to say that those 4 Japanese companies operate like that - and as if they are all equally resourced or the 'same' etc.! They are four very different companies with significantly different balance sheets. They are associated with different group/parent companies - they are far from the 'same' aside from the fact they compete in the same motorcycle markets. One company started with sewing machines, one with marine/aircraft, one copying a m/c german product, yadda yadda. In current market conditions, Honda is generally the market leader as they are the biggest etc....so the others will follow in various strategic ways that exploit their points of difference and capabilities the most. The will not 'do things' the way Richard has suggested, and I think many in the industry would think it interesting that he mention Kawasaki as doing something 'first' - maybe in one or two product categories, but they hardly have a reputation for ground breaking innovation - hence our new friend the H2R. And "Kawasaki with the help of Honda"....is Richard for real? They are competitors. There is a reason for Yamaha's late entry to the 250cc-ish 'sports bike' class, and like many smaller companies effected by the GFC/Lehman shock, the R&D over the last 7 years has been much less than had been previously, and a shift has certainly been seen in the markets in general (away from 'hero' performance, and closer to 'fun' and economical). Sorry for the rant, but I would take what Richard says with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 ^ should find out tomorrow. This will be the pick of the bunch for 2015 litre bikes IMO. Price in Thailand? My guess is 850k if they sell it here. I really hope they do, and back it up with some decent support. Maybe a great bike to own in 2016 if Yamaha open up some good dealerships here and there are no bugs in the first year models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisfeld Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) There will be a live stream of the reveal at 9pm CET today on http://www.yamaha-we-r1.com/ JonnyF: would you say you'd prefer an inline 4 for Thailand over the L-twin of your Panigale?

JonnyF Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 There will be a live stream of the reveal at 9pm CET today on http://www.yamaha-we-r1.com/ JonnyF: would you say you'd prefer an inline 4 for Thailand over the L-twin of your Panigale? I mean in general, not those specific bikes. Not sure, I've only done 1800 kms on the 899 so far. I find the inline 4 smoother, but I find the Panigale more confidence inspiring. The inline 4 was really easy to spin the rear tyre even though it was 'only' a 600 so I was never 100% confident opening it up unless the road surface was perfect. The traction control on the 899 makes me much more confident opening it up. I'm not really sure if it's the traction control or the longer gap between the power 'pulses' on the twin but I find it easier to ride. An inline 4 litre bike with traction control I guess would be awesome but I'm yet to ride one. This R1 looks great to me. I really hope they can keep the price similar to the outgoing model. The crossplane crank with DTC should be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Under 200 kgs, that's light. Gear ratios are interesting, must break out the calculator and do some math. Looks like the bike is knobbled for high speeds, but I'm quite sure that getting to 309.7 kph is going to happen very quickly.

ll2 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Looks nice! Especially liked the headlight solution. But waiting for 240 hp and lighter than 199 kg still 200 hp at 199 kg is plenty. Cool bike really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
