Which do you like better? Lets do some statistics....

A. Honda 1000RR

B. Yamaha R1

 

[matt365]

Both are amazing machines.

 

[prwest]

Yes both are amazing bikes but, the honda looks better.

 

[cvm4]

Gotta go with the Yamaha

 

[mikem317]

Pretty similar, IMO. Honda is generally more reliable and not everybody and their uncle has one. I'd get the Honda because it's not as common as the R1.

 

[Jake]

To be honest I don't like either one any better than the other. They are both great bikes.

 

[Raven R1]

Not even close in looks....R1 kills the 1000RR isson in that department...but then again I may be a tad biased

Great, here comes the subjective opinons! "Wait that one's better looking!" "No, mines better looking!" nfloor

A. Honda 1000RR

Ummmmm......It's a Honda. Of course this is the one.

Nah, not really, I have just heard that it is a more balanced performer. I've never ridden anything but my bike, really, so I have to go by what I hear from more experienced riders.

And I gotta agree with Mike, don't see to many 1000RR's around here compared to R1's.

Maybe because higher $. Hondas seem to hold their value, whether it be their cars or bikes so if you're an owner, good for you. Sucks when you're on the buyer-end of things.

yamaha.

 

[Ca$h]

R1

or.....Zx10

 

[ASharpMind]

Damn - so far it's a close one...

 

[son123]

I prefer the looks of the Yamaha over the Honda, I read somewhere that the Yamaha produces a lot of heat from that underseat exhaust and you can really feel it sitting at lights and traffic. I don't know about the Honda though. Both are great bikes could not go wrong with either one.

You dont get much heat from undertails, it has to travel through a lot of seat foam and plastic to get to you, so really it isnt an issue.

 

[cominback]

the gripe from the Yamaha isn't exhaust heat, its engine heat.

I still voted R1 though

 

[749er]

R1 hands down. And in some areas of the world, they are not all over. I live 45 minutes from Philly and have only seen one other one locally.

 

[749er]

Yeah, the heat from the R1 comes from the engine, not the cans. Mine seems to be primarily the left side. It is a minor inconvenience at worst. And I certainly hope you tell us what you bought. Glad you are arriving home safe and sound too!

 

[ASharpMind]

I will FOR SURE. I will buy the first week I am back...
