2007 Yamaha R1 Road Impression: TNT Wrapped in a Teddy Bear
2007 yamaha R1 impression
It's late February. It's Vancouver. It snowed briefly this morning. By late afternoon the temperature "warms" to 5C (41F) allowing for the of return our 2007 yamaha R1 tester to Pacific yamaha. For eight days the weather's been oscillating from warmish sunny days to pure cold wet misery. On those latter days riding has been about restraint and control, and that fits, especially given the flurry of contention around yamaha's Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) in communities like R1-Forum.com. In conditions like these throttle control makes the difference between a cold rear Diablo Corsa stepping out on damp gritty roads, or an elegant run of the twisties. Riding now is challenging, confusing, occasionally unpredictable and habitually rewarding... sort of like the 2007 R1.
