NEW SLED WILL BE AT EAGLE RIVER SNOWMOBILE RACES

[rhoag]

When they initially start the sled it almost sounds like the cross-plane motor but, then the music kicks in and blends with the motor to much to tell. We went to U-tube yesterday and were listening to a few 09 R1's and man would that sound sweet going down the trail. I don't really see the advantage of the cross plane in a sled but it would sound cool. I have had many R1's and I won't get an 09-10 because of the weight and lack of HP. The 03 R1 was the best I had for power, 04 red pretiest and 06 LE best over-all. We don't want less HP!!!
From Sportrider mag: "The next shocker came when we strapped the '09 R1 down onto our Superflow Dyno and the computer screen showed a peak horsepower figure of 146.3 at 11,500 rpm. Hold on a second, only 146 horsepower? That's more than 14 horsepower down on the '08 Kawasaki ZX-10R, and six horsepower less than the previous R1. While we'd felt that the '09 R1 seemed down on top-end compared to the previous model, we didn't think it was down that much.

So simply judging by the numbers, the new R1 must be an absolute pig of a literbike that can barely get out of its own way, right? http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/146_0907_2009_yamaha_yzf_r1/index.html

Guys on the R1 fourm are having the 09 Ecu's reflashed to get back the HP on the restricted US models back.

Can't wait to see this new Yammie sled.

We all seen it, but we don't know that much about it. Just like sneaking a look at you x-mas gifts, you still get surprised, in the end.
