2000 Yamaha YZF R1 – Motorbike Bicycle

 The Year 2000 Yamaha YZF-R1 is an awesome motorcycle. When Yamaha’s YZF1000 debuted in 1996, the world’s motorcycling press wondered, as spot-on as that bike was, how open-class motorcycles could become any better. The competition’s open-class bikes available were geared, quite literally, more for top-speed honors and back-up sport-touring duties. But the 
Yamaha YZF-R1 changed the rules by successfully combining the awesome power available previously in open-class size with the lightweight and responsiveness that a 600-class chassis affords. Could Yamaha have altered an already revolutionary motorcycle so much and soon to justify an expensive undertaking such as a worldwide press intro? When refurbishing the YZF-R1 for the Year 2000, Yamaha’s main design goal was to sharpen the pre-existing bike and not redesign it. Even so they instituted over 150 changes in hopes of making an already light, sleek and mean motorcycle even lighter, sleeker and meaner. For example, even with the addition of the new Air Induction System, which weighs four pounds, the overall weight of the bike is down five pounds to a claimed 385 pounds dry. Performance wise, Yamaha claims the year 2000 R1 provides improved aspiration, smoother shifting and better lubrication.
