1998 Yamaha YZF-R1 review from Canada
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Changed the tires (Michelin Pilot Sport).
Added clear lights.
Yoshimura slip-on.
Fully polished.
General comments?
Kick ass bike!
Power wheelies through the 3 first gears.
Great for stunting.
Handles like a dream!
