The Yamaha R1, like all Japanese sport bikes capable of reaching such speed from the last decade are restricted to 300km/h(186mph) by a gentleman's agreement between the Big 4. This does not appear to apply to any other manufacturers, e.g. MV Agusta named there latest base model sports bike the F4 1000 312R because it was reported to reach 312km/h during testing.
299 kmh (Restricted) about 185-190 stock
186 mph (299 km/h) is the top speed of this machine.
146 hp
i believe that Yamaha is purple because Yamaha is for girls Honda is for men.
The Yamaha R1 is faster
2007 R1 tops at 101 then rev limiter hits. this is my experience
183mph max just out of the box give or take 10mph on weight of the rider
185mph
186 mph (300 km/h) standard with no modifications
