2004 Yamaha
YZF-R1
MSRP $10,699
That step-behind development cycle plays right into Yamaha's hands, as the design of its new R1 is as cutting-edge as they come. The previous generation R1 was a sales success as much for its looks as it was for its performance and mamas not raisin' no dummies Yamaha made a concerted effort this time around to exploit its style as much as possible. A more conservative eye might consider the R1 to be a little overdone stylistically, but curbside voting always had the R1 on top. If your parents didn't play with you as a child, this is the bike to choose in order to get that attention you've always craved.
