2007 Yamaha YZF R1 1000cc Specs

Well, its a thrilling bike, possessing a much meatier powerband, enhanced handling, pleasing looks that might still be the class of the field, and the addition of a slipper clutch. But in the vacuum of testing just one bike on its own, its difficult to say how it will stack up against the unchanged Kawasaki ZX-10R and Honda CBR1000RR, never mind the class-leading Suzuki GSX-R1000 that received a ground-up overhaul for 2007.

We filled the R1s 4.75-gallon fuel tank and rolled it over the scales to see a number of 454 pounds. Subtracting the weight of the fuel onboard reveals a tank-empty weight of 425 pounds, which is 4 more than the 2004-2006 version, partially due to the bikes new slipper clutch which is heavier than a standard clutch. Compared with the numbers we got during our 2006 Superbike Smackdown, this new R1 slots in as the heaviest. Yamahas literbike has a generous 51.8% of its weight on the front wheel, a 0.5% increase over last year and the most forward-biased in this class.
