It did however have a very good chassis and excellent handling. These strengths were carried over into the machine. The biggest development issue this year was the engine. In order to make up for the weaknesses of the in-line-4 with single-plane crankshaft, the wheelbase had been shortened on the machine. Unfortunately that led to a lot of crashes and falls due to the reduced road-hold in the front wheel.
To deal with this problem, a full-scale review of the engine was undertaken. Several prototypes were prepared and the spec that Valentino chose was also the one that I consider the best. The weakness of that spec, however, was its power performance, and in dealing with that problem we focused our development efforts more on power development characteristics rather than sheer engine power output. Due to the adoption of a crossplane crankshaft on that model, it produced smoother and somewhat gentler power development characteristics that greatly improved rear wheel traction.
Advanced Bodywork Redesigned bodywork contributes to higher-quality performance and a more comfortable rider fit. The new design creates a 5. Brake Control System Technology is transforming the way we ride, and the latest YZF-R1 features no fewer than seven electronic control systems.
Featuring two modes, the new Brake Control BC system analyses data such as lean angle and slipping acceleration and modulates hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel lock ups. Using data from various sensors, the EBM adjusts throttle opening, ignition timing and fuel injection volume to give you a choice of three engine braking modes to suit different riding situations.
When the bikes come in after a race or practice session, the information is downloaded and analyzed. Wear and tear. Because MotoGP bikes use race specific components that are also put under extreme conditions during racing, many of these parts may last only a few hours.
For example, road tires on normal street bikes are made with different compounds that can last for thousands of miles. Race tires are made with stickier, softer compounds to provide the grip needed to keep the bikes from sliding off the track in the corners. These tires, which can withstand higher temperatures, have a drastically shorter life span. Including that would bring the bike prices exponentially higher. In a sense, says Thomas, "These bikes are priceless. Its four-cylinder two-stroke heart will crank out bhp at 11,rpm, with MotoGP-spec Brembo disc brakes fitted to ensure you ride faster and brake deeper into corners.
Following the law of demand and supply, Ronax 's exclusivity comes at a price. The Good: That paint job. The updated bike now comes with a full Ohlins suspension system that makes it a one second faster around the track compared to the version.
Hence, if you don't have a crew or your own a race track, the RF should be your weapon of choice. The Good: The closest thing to Mr.
The Bad: Doesn't come in Vale Yellow 46 trim. Among a ton of special features, this cc beast comes with a Communication Control Unit CCU that logs every single detail of the machine whilst on track. The data can then be downloaded via an Andriod or iOS app for later analysis — a feature rarely seen outside of the MotoGP paddock. The bike also features an aluminium frame, magnesium wheels, titanium exhaust; and Valentino Rossi himself was one of the test riders whose direct input influenced the electronics capability of the bike.
Ducati Panigale R Final Edition. The Good: It's available and doesn't come in a limited production run. The Bad: It's the V-2's final encore.
