Valentino Rossi and the YZF-R1

Since it’s original launch, the Yamaha YZF-R1 has had journalists and reviewers reaching for the nearest superlative. Universally liked doesn’t even come close, in fact I don’t think I have ever had a bad word said about it. Yamaha really put a great package together with this bike. Race bred it may be, but as a road package it’s hard to beat. Impeccable manners, extremely powerful yet controllable engine, comfortable riding position. I know Rossi is paid to like the bike, but his comments actually seemed heart felt and I can’t imagine him laying down a line of bullshit just to sell a bike. At the end of the day, he’s more concerned with pleasing his legion of fans than sucking up to Yamaha.
