The R1 was dominant for five years before the competition could catch up to its level. In 2003 the [[Suzuki GSX-R 1000]] and in 2004 the [[Kawasaki ZX-10R]] have successfully challenged the R1. The 2004 R1 produces 180 hp at the crankshaft and also weighs the same in kilograms, giving it a theoretical 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, however the horsepower that is released at the rear wheel is closer to 150hp (or more, under properly tuned and optimal conditions). The R1 is able to do 107 mph in first gear. In 2006 the Yamaha R1 expanded its output to 175 hp in addition to a 20 mm longer swingarm. The 2006 model year for the R1 is groundbreaking with the release of the Limited Edition model. At the [[MSRP]] of $18,000 and only 500 units made for the United States makes ownership very limited, marking the 50th Anniversay year for Yamaha. | The R1 was dominant for five years before the competition could catch up to its level.
