Supercharged R1 HighPressure by RF Biketech

By Paul Crowe

Yamaha R1 HighPressure by RF-Biketech

Built too late for the Terminator movies, this bike would have been perfect. This is the Yamaha R1 “HighPressure” built by German tuning firm RF-Biketech. Other than the rather obvious blower and the rear tire which must be a 360, not to mention the front tire that’s pretty beefy, I can’t tell you much more about this. Their site doesn’t have a lot of information about it, but from what I can gather, many parts used on their custom streetfighters eventually find their way into the parts catalog. So if you fancy doing this to your own R1, they would be the guys to talk to.

Handling might be a bit off, but hey, you knew that. They don’t mention horsepower numbers which could be pretty impressive plus the sound of the blower would get you grinning. Wow!

It looks like they do a lot of streetfighter conversions on many different brands of motorcycles but this one just seems a bit more extreme than the others. Somewhere, there’s a movie waiting for this bike.

    I’m having a vision of the rear brake mount being twisted and broken as the caliper pushes forward during braking. I really like to overall look though, just need to be taken down a bit (tires esp.)

    And in that movie there will be at least one robot with a shotgun.

    Neat lookin’ – makes the Suzuki BoostKing look almost ordinary.

    I do like this. It isn’t the typical sport bike customization we see ALL the time: IE stretched swingers, flash paint, chromed frames and LED lights. However, the tires do have to go…

    for some reason I like the the big fat rear tire, it screams I am fast and if you don’t resepct me I am going to kill you, but the front end big tire has to go or at least toned down a bit

    “it screams I am fast and if you don’t resepct me I am going to kill you…”

    …at least until you go around a corner & I can’t follow you

    Did they go with the huge rear tire so they could avoid having to put in a kickstand? Can this bike even fall over? Its a neat exercise and all but practical hasn’t met this design yet.

    “it screams I am fast and if you don’t resepct me I am going to kill you…”

    …at least until you go around a corner & I can’t follow you.

    but then after the corner, I catch back up to you and kill you with my massive front tire and then my more massive rear tire.

    i think these type of bikes are good for motorcycling. variety is the spice of life.

    and its nice to see something different besides the stretched out, polish everything customs.

    i’ve said it before: one of the most wonderful things about motorcycles is how they can be SIMPLY works of art. yeah, so it’s impractical. big deal. so is owning an expensive painting. you don’t like it or buy it because it will help further your life goals. you find it pleasing on some deeper level your eyes connect with the lines in a way that seems unique to you, and maybe no one else. the beauty of motorcycles is that you can interact with that art. even if you interact very slowly around corners. try that with the “Mona Lisa”. by the way, i love it. big tires and all.

    I just want to know what happens when you’re leaned over the tank,pouring on the coals, and the blower lifts?
    I guess if you’re Ahnold it won’t matter.

    I can appreciate the level of engineering and craftsmanship that went into this, even if it is a prime example of “wretched excess”…

    easy now…just because I said something about this bike’s handling doesn’t mean I don’t admire it or appreciate it.

    Simply bizarre… but interestingly so.

    say what you will my friends but I’m love. I want this bike in my collection and I would gladly ride it to family picnics and charity events. probably one of the more daring concepts I’ve ever seen. I say keep it all as is. BEAUTIFUL.
