Sometimes we get really lucky here at Cycle News and this test was definitely one of those times! • Today we're on the 2018 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M, the two big daddies in Yamaha's superbike line-up. The R1 gets a new auto-blipper on the downshift so you no longer need to use the clutch when going back through the gear; a new wheelie control algorithm and a new launch control setting. • As for the R1M, it gets all of that plus the brand new Ohlins Smart EC II electronic suspension, making this a super-premium ride indeed. • We spoke to Aaron Past at Yamaha USA, did a bit of ride chatting and we have a final wrap up at the end. This is the longest video we've ever done so please let us know if you like it and, what you'd like to see in the future and don't forget to hit that subscribe link! • Rennie's Gear: • Helmet: • Arai Corsair X • https://www.araiamericas.com/helmets/... • Suit: Dainese Laguna Seca • https://www.dainese.com/us/en/laguna-... • Gloves: • Dainese Full Metal 6 • https://www.dainese.com/us/en/full-me... • Boots: • Dainese R Axial Pro In • https://www.dainese.com/us/en/r-axial... • Back protector: • Alpinestars Nucleaon KR-1 Protector • https://www.alpinestars.com/products/...
