Yamaha YZF-R1 After two years driving a Blackbird i wanted something else i want to have a hypersport machine. So back to my old brand again when i saw this design and color combination of this R1 i wanted to have (the) one. But this bike had some problems with the cold start, had given an error code (15) and many problems with the spyball alarm. I had no luck with this R1, next picture shows why..........

Crash of The One Shit, just shit, i crashed this bike it was 3 months old and 4000 km on it. Until here i drove 14 years without any damage. How it happend, well believe it or not it was only a 50km/h crash and the bike was completely dameged, front suspension was broken front wheel was broken, i had this time luck the bike not, so this story of the first R1 ends here.

Yamaha seccond One So i crashed the  first one in June 2003, and after a period of doubt what shall i do, riding an Aprilia RSV Mille or R1 again. At this time as we speak there was no New RSV out yet, but i drove test on one. It was great it really was, the brakes were much better than the one on the R1, but than again the design of the overall bike was better for the R1, so i bought a R1 again, we called the R2.
