Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Well just got back from the Yamaha dealers and got to say first impressions are good in fact very good but they should be with their top of the range model.

Even though brand new and being careful you can see it has a stack of power and it's delivered extremely smoothly and very linear with no hiccups or surprises

Oh and even in standard guise boy is it loud There is no way this baby is getting on a 102dba track day even in standard form

Will post some pics up later just want to get some tea for now and then drool some more

5.1 or 7.1?

Not sure what you mean buts it none of the above 5.1 or 7.1 nonsense

Monty your too good mate

You had me sussed from the outset. It's a 7.2 Yamaha amp, although I am pretty impressed with it all the same

What's the extra .1? Guessing an extra sub or a rear centre?

Yeah 2 subs for some deep bass

White carpets?

I thought you had kids

Nice amp that. You now need new speakers

Got a good little app and can now control all the controls from my phone

They are good amps Blade, I have an older 5.1 version, still going strong.

The only reason to have white carpets is if you have a golden retriever or Labrador.

Very nice Blade take that baby out and blast it to the very max!

All joking aside if I was in the market for a new bike the R1 would be on the top of the list.

Had a good look round one at Silverstone and a long chat with their technical guy and got to say I was very impressed. They level of tech was mind blowing and the blue and silver one looks stunning imo.
