REVIEW Yamaha YZF 1000 Thunderace- LEGENDARY

   Legendary. This is a fine tagline for this Yamaha YZF 1000 Thunder Ace. The owner of this bike is Uncle Bob, and thanks to him, I allowed to do review for this bike. Yamaha YZF Thunder Ace 1000 is a previous version of Yamaha YZF R1. Before there is R1 hits the street, it was Thunder Ace. Thunder Ace last production was at 2001, and that is the first time, Yamaha R1 was introduced.

       This is where my review starts. I am at Kudat Federal Road, located 200 km from Kota Kinabalu. This road has really long line, enable me to ride this bike to her maximum speed. The first rev, I can see the acceleration is quite good. In fact, this bike can go much faster than Ducati 1199 Panigale. 

      And then when top speed was fine to, except this bike only has 5 gears. FIVE! Its looks like this bike can go more speed if it has 6th gear. But beside from that, its all good. The body kit can give you more aerodynamic while you riding closer to top speed. The wind shield is good enough to to give more wind resistant. 

OVERALL REVIEW

1. Top Speed    
              Top speed was a bit down. Its not that the top speed is lame, but since its just has  gear transmission, so the top speed won't be enough to me.
   
2. Acceleration
              Good. Real good. A 1000 cc of bike that can reach 100 kph, just 3.3 seconds.
    
3. Quality          
             Good Yupz, old bike has best quality. The fairing material, the engine  components, everything is at the fine quality. Trust me.
   
4. Price              
        Best. Its just like too little money for too much bike. With spending around Rm 10,000.000 ++, you can get this bike for you.
   
5. Maintenance
            Good, Well, you know the risk of purchasing classic bikes right. Always has some risk there. No matter how good the condition when you purchase it, the problem always comes later. But since its using carb, I guess its easier for you to maintain it.

   So remember. Some of older bikes are usually more powerful than modern one. Since they are using carb, which is much faster than using EFI, and the engine setting was very simple for you to tune it. But, with this limited kind of bike, you always know the spare parts are usually not ready stock, especially the engine compartments.

    But far from that, these old bikes like Yamaha Thunder Ace 1000, are fun to ride. With long lines or relaxing ride, the are look beautiful. Even though Yamaha Thunder Ace is not well-known and famous like Yamaha YZF R1, but this bike still has her own legendary to tell those young riders!

See you next ride~

Ray Superbike URL

     Hello there. First of all, maybe most of you noticed that recently, this blog's URL has been change from fezanray.blogspot.com to raysuperbike.com. There are certain reason why I change it but totally wrong and failed. Most of google search cannot find my blog using the new address. And the page view also has slightly down for the performance.

    So I decided to change the URL back to fezanray.blogspot.com for the official URL for Ray Superbike. I hope its okay to you. Since this URL is much familiar to anyone. Plus its easier for to to search at Google. So from now on the main URL is (www.fezanray.blogspot.com). Only the face lift that has been changed.

(My first bike and current bike. She is the reason why I started this blog.)

(My soon to be super bike. And I even paid for the booking fee. Yeah that is why I put her as my official wallpaper now)

    I hope its okay to all of you for those changes that I made for this URL. Simply changing the name and URL but those contents and reviews are still the same. To all of you, have a safe ride. And have a nice day. Thanks for supporting Ray Superbike.

Yamaha R1M - Fastest R1 Ever Built

   In yearly of 2015, we all waited the introduction of Kawasaki Ninja H2R. But, don't you know that Yamaha also introduced the rival for Kawasaki Ninja H2R, the brand new Yamaha R1M. What can I say, is this is the fastest Yamaha R1 ever built, and the closest Moto GP bike for legal road.

(This is Yamaha R1M)

(Valentino Rossi with R1 for track racing)

What's new about Yamaha R1M? R1M features

R1M VS R1

• Premium Ohlins Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS)Communication Control Unit (CCU) - Data logger and; vehicle info via Wi-Fi
• Wider 200 series rear tire (200/55 ZR17)
• Carbon fiber front fender and fairing
• Polished and; clear coated aluminum fuel tank (unpainted)
• Polished and; clear coated aluminum swing arm (unpainted)

       Remember when people said 'Beauty Outside, Beast Inside'? This is what they means. Yamaha R1 has beauty face lift, but the engine has awesome speed. But more of all, it has unlimited passion while you riding it at full speed.

     About the chassis and frame, Yamaha R1 following the previous method. Using diamond frame, but this time the quality has been improved. This kind of frame is light weight but manage to support the weight of 1000CC size of engine. 

       What about the control? The weight is below 200 kg. Its super light for 1000 cc of engine. So, the weight gives you the acceleration advantages. R1 move faster than any 1000 cc and above that heavier than her. The cornering also give you the best pleasure. as long you using wide tyre, the cornering won't give you much trouble.

      Conclusions? The new Yamaha R1M is the some kind of Moto GP Super Bike that legal road. So if you wish to get the Yamaha R1M, well,start learn how to ride. Because what I have heard, Yamaha R1 is not for beginner, or inexperience bikers. She is for pro.

     Malaysia has no news about the new coming Yamaha R1M yet, but for sure, if she comes here, her cost is tooo expensive. And she is the close rival for Kawasaki H2R. Check www.mudah.my for survey the price if this bike has come to Malaysia.

     That's all for today. Thanks for reading my blog. And most of all, big thanks to all that supporting this blog. Have a nice day. Here I leave you a cute girl with Yamaha R1. 

(Alright. Enough! Look the super bike, not the girl.)

Yamaha R1

       Hello, its been a while for my last post. Hell yeah, its really a slow month for January. I only posted 4 entries, where its never happened before. Hahaha. I was so busy. Tell you the truth I will engage soon.

     But its not about me that I want to share here, but I would like to share about my dream super bike, where I gonna buy this in two or three months from now. Its Yamaha R1. There are no new bike for the model that I wanted, but you always can find one on recon bike shop. I already found one. In fact, I booked it. So next time you see someone riding Yamaha R1 on Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, that's could  be me.

(This is Yamaha R1 that I'm talking about)

      This Yamaha R1 comes with three different colors and two versions. Red, Blue, and Black for the colors. For the version, Yamaha R1 comes with Raven and Sterilgalda.

These are the colors that introduced by Yamaha

And these are the version for Raven and Sterilgarda

(RAVEN)

(Sterilgarda)

            Okey, now why I'm picking this super bike Yamaha R1? Frist, its about the face lift Yamaha R1 has among best design since early 2000's. And not to mention, speed too. Yamaha R1 now in 6th place of Top Ten Fastest Super Bike in the world.

           The engine is not as big as other super bike. She's only has 999cc of engine displacement. Unlike Hayabusa, and Kawasaki ZX14R, which is 1400cc. Yamaha R1 produces 188 of horse power. So don't talk about speed out here. Small engine, big power. Hayabusa and Kawasaki ZX4R are fastest than R1, but their engine are way too big. I mean that could make you tired if you stucked at traffic. Yamaha R1 is much lighter. The weight base is just around 190kg.

        Then, the price also good. the new one cost you RM 100,000. But you always can find recon or second hand. The recon cost you RM 60,000 and second hand ones can be found around RM 30,000 and above. 

       And last the, its about the community. Yamaha R1 has a lot of group in Malaysia. so you don't need to worry about having new friends. They are ready to share you any info, and giving you any help whenever you having trouble with you Yamaha R1. And soon, I will have this bike on my hand. Ready for the sound limbo. 

    Lastly from me, I am so sorry for not posting recently but I will be back once I don't what I have to do, and.. urm.. just wait for my new bike. I book it just now. So I see you next time. Have a nice day. And oh, as usual. I know all of you like this. Here some photos of Yamaha R1, with GIRLS!

(First, we got Yamaha R1 in Calender of 2012)

(And then we got Katty Perry in Sterilgarda Team. Haha )

Then we had these car wash girls and other models with Yamaha R1.

And last but not least, our Malaysian girl with Yamaha R1!
