Yamaha YZF-R1 LE Review

Yamaha YZF-R1 LE Review Right Front

The new YZF-R1 LE sports Valentino Rossi livery as the YZF-M1 MotoGP bike, but comes in a very limited number.

The new 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1LE not only gives much of the technology of the championship, Valentino Rossi, but his look and style of the championship. The R1 is the first ever production motorcycle with a transverse crankshaft. The result? Outrageous torque and raw energy at high speed by providing incredibly smooth power delivery out of corners. While the bold graphic style Fiat Yamaha provides incredibly smooth.
