To make the motorcycle a serious adventure touring bike that could compete with well known motorcycles in the class including the BMW GS models and the Kawasaki KLR, the Yamaha R1 received extensive modifications including: r1 forum adapted and strengthened sub frame to attach the top and two side trunks: placed an aluminum box in the space below the tank for a spare chain; placed a small rack on the steering stem to store the GPS; Van Wylick strengthened the aluminum stay fairing on both sides with 3 mm thick aluminum plates; joined the mirror supports underneath the fairing screen with a thick strip of aluminum to prevent vibration from breaking them; installed modified (5 cm shorter) Laser exhaust pipe so the exhaust wont blow against the spare Metzeler tires; installed a Cyclelok alarm with trunk protection; installed a Hyperpro steering damper; use fully synthetic Putoline oil; installed K&N air filter; installed Osco chain oiler; installed Fuelstar between the fuel pipe so lower octane fuel can be used; placed a 12 volt adapter to charge the video camera and laptop batteries; installed an on/off switch between the supply of the right headlight to save current and still drive with one light on …

@ninjatronica666
Heavy !
That list of motorcycle mods in the description is cool. Wonder how heavy those boxes are? Bet it kills fuel economy. lol!

@motolokotrip

@tachios85
no he was solo. Camera setup was done by him. Sometimes someone in vehicle for the ‘ride’ shots.
@petelebu
A chopper? Hey now that’s an idea. Hey Sjaak, what you say to that?
@plasticpunch
Its a philosophy. Sort a like, why climb the mountain.
@ironwindow13
so he could go real fast on the rare occasion that he found a paved road?
@wandao1974
Absolutely!
Certamente de XT ele teria curtido a viagem muiiiiiiiiiitttooooo mais rsss
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ironwindow13 i have the same question, why the hell would you travel the world in a sport bike instead of using a chopper, touring, or dual purpose.
he didnt know that there are on/off motos?
Why he choice the R1?
respect!
This is completely out of his mind. Granted its really cool to say “I rode my R1 around the world” but that shit didn’t even look like it was fun. Theres a reason most world travelers choose the BMW GS series for those kind of trips.
the guy filming is probably riding a GS …
My favorite part 4:26
R1 on väga mõtetu ratas selliseks tripiks!!!
Think next time he should try the super tenere!!
Does he get paid to do that?
planning to ride my r1 from CT to FL in about 3 weeks. Who wants to join me?
