no nii läbi loetud ja tooks välja väiksed kokkuvõtted nende kahe mudeli kohta

Yamaha

The amount of technology that has been poured into the R1 is staggering but as we witnessed first hand, sometimes too much technology can be difficult to dial in on the first try. This is exactly what happened to the 2007 YZF-R1. While it left us with a good impression after its time on the track, the Yamaha came in last by a landslide on the street. Thanks to a solid chassis, compliant suspension, amazing brakes, and impressive top-end hit it managed to all but conceal its Achilles heel when the revs were spun past nine grand at the track.

However, on the street this was not the case and the anemic mid-range, third-heaviest weight and disappointing throttle lag forced it into the role of cellar dweller and ultimately held it out of contention for the overall title. There is potential lurking beneath all the gadgets and gizmos, just look at the success in World Superbike for proof. Yamaha will overcome this glitch in the Matrix and come back with a vengeance with a well-sorted superbike that will do more than just turn heads because of its good looks.

Honda

Look no further than the CBR's success this season in World Superbike for proof that what journalists feel about a bike in stock form doesn't mean it can't kick ass in race trim. The CBR1000RR dominated the 2006 Isle of Man, Suzuka 8-Hour and the British Superbike title as well. The showing at IOM had three of the top four finishers in the Senior TT on Fireblades and that is a testament to this platform's potential. Proof again that it's important to consider more than just peak power and new technology when choosing an open-class motorcycle.

The CBR1000RR earned For My Money accolades from three members of our test sample, verifying its place as a contender in Superbike Smackdown IV. Sometimes a seasoned veteran can be refined to the point of perfection for a particular application and that's exactly what you get with the Honda. This is a bike tailor made for street riders and is just a slipper clutch and a few HRC kit parts away from being capable of taking on all comers, be it street or the track.
