I know it would probably result in my death lol.
Problem is 1000cc is a bit too much for me.
I really love the 2009 yamaha r1 s crossplane engine sound and from what i have read the power delivery is really something else.
The bike has a slightly different feel and sound to it.
Crossplane technology puts each connecting rod 90 from the next with an uneven firing interval of 270 180 90 180.
First the yamaha yzf r1 crossplane engine isn t faster than the 2008 model no crossplane at least.
Crossplane crank shaft can t affect the peak torque number cause physics the only way to increase torque is to generate more boom it can only affect just how soon it arrives in the rpm range and in the case of the r1 it does so quicker than other bikes.
