Recently MCN did the very anticipated test of all the 2009 liter bikes. The test compared the 2009 liter bikes Yamaha R1 vs Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade vs Suzuki GSX-R1000 vs Kawasaki ZX-10R vs Ducati 1198. The test was based entirely on lap times by the test riders. As I was not one of the riders I cannot say what the difference in the bikes were but the MCN crew released this video of the actual comparison test.
To the everyday rider all of these bikes will far exceed your riding or the streets ability. Unless you really push the bikes to the limit on the track it is hard to compare and see the real difference.
The new Yamaha R1 with the cross plane crank engine and all the hype everyone is creating has definitely lived up to everyone’s expectations. On the track in AMA Daytona 200 and in World Superbike in Phillip Island the R1 has proven it is a very strong bike. Let’s wait and see if the bikes will remain strong through the entire season in all the different series.
