Yamaha YZF-R1 (2002 - 2003)

Reviewed: by Visordown

I certainly was. Fortunately, before I could earn any dunce points by asking what they were on about, a translation was swiftly proffered.

This is an excellent all round sports bike.

roomy for the bigger lads

Good smooth Injection

Good low down power delivery

Not a lot of mods remaining though if you want to bling her up

Finish is very good, frame, fairings and engine

Exhaust has to go its huge

Handling is sublime

Just bought a 2002 from a good friend. The bike only has 13,000kms on it and knowing my firned, has not been abused. I was actually surprized by the number of mods still available. I was able to pick-up K&N filter, Graves throttlebodies and Yamaha GYTR CF exhaust. Sounds better and makes a few more ponies. As well, Bagster still makes a colour matched tank cover for it. Other items are Targa fender eliminator kit, CYCLONE 866 alarm, LED turn signals, Frame, clutch and wheel sliders and a Corbin seat. That coupled with Heli Bars should prove to make it more liveable as a daily driver/SPORT touring bike. Just need to find some saddlebags for it now. Overall very happy.
