By Niall Mackenzie on 20/09/2010 14:22:53

First Ride: 2007 Yamaha YZF-R1
By Niall Mackenzie on 02/04/2008 11:15:27
First out of the blocks for 2007 and hoping to stay there, Yamaha's new R1 looks the goods. But is it? Who better to say than Niall Mackenzie, ex-GP god turned mortal.

By Niall Mackenzie on 26/05/2008 20:44:57
Yamaha's YZF-R1 goes head-to-head with itself in a bitter, old-versus-new family feud. Niall Mackenzie splits the difference in sunny southern Spain.
Yamaha launched the 2004 R1 under the banner 'Excitement Intensified.' The previous model had been accused of losing the spice of the ground-breaking 1998 bike, and Yamaha wanted to once again stamp its authority on the litre class. But in the same

Niall Mackenzie spends some quality time with the Yamaha R6, here's his review
both on the road and the track. And it’s quite a weapon.Quite often second-year facelift graphics don’t look as good as the originals, but Yamaha have given the R6 an improved look for 2009 with the red version being my favourite. It’s a tiny little

Yamaha's project leader for the new R1 was a chap called Yoshikazu Koike, and his brief was just two words: "jinba atai." Confused?
it down. Then I read it back and realised I was still none the wiser. Damn. A few beers and a lot of chat with Yamaha's PR staff later I'd cracked it - the aim with the new R1 was to create fusion, to bring rider and machine together in perfect harmony
