Your older black 2017 R1 looks better to me ....

[Affliction]

I just bought a 2019 r1 raven red and I love it.

Glad to know they fixed the little triangle piece that comes off at speed. I think the original intent was to make it easy to get to the ECU, but when you go fast it catches the wind on the leading edge.

This is tough lol I have the '21 in Raven edition and I like that one better overall. I think the '15-'19 look better from the front with the wider headlights, but the '20+ looks better from the sides....imo

[islamdrai]

The new r1 looks like r6 but I prefer the 2017

[Crownclubgaming]

the older r1 face looks better to me...didnt even know they changed it till this video

[Enkies]

the front end on the 15-19 is WAYYYY MORE AGGRESSIVE.. they kinda ruined it on the 2020 looks like a r6.. rip..

[bmwmsport]

I didn’t even notice they had different bodywork until this video. Was going to pick up an earlier R1 but guess it’ll be a 2020+ now

[ELRojoNetwork]

2017 is just perfect for me! It's like an Iron Man Mask

[Nismotosh]

It’s just something about that Yamaha blue!

[JacBeQuic]

The 17 sounds way better. We now know the reason for the sound differences

[johnsimms]

17 looks better, the 20 is wider in the front .. not feeling that

[Solo_]

I just love how the side fairing cover up part of the frame and join with the tank. It look very neat.

[ricky]

Thanks for the video man only guy I seen with a comparison!

[kreep]

I personally like the drl lights of the 2017 but prefer the side fairings of the 2020

[SuperAdventureR]

Older model defenitily looks sharper from the front, and has better looking headlights IMO, but the rest of the bike it's hard to pick one or the other in terms of looks.

[arturio]

I'd buy older model for front end alone. They shouldn't have changed the styling

[reccomtal]

If you like red, remember that the red '15 R1 has the hard, plastic hose located on the left side of the bike in red. Such a touch has not been replicated since.

[dinojoghiable]

The difference between initial performance is euro 4 (2017) and euro 5 (2020). The 2020 R1 is more restricted. When you get rid of the restrictions, the full potential of the 2020 R1 will show!

[tgs_itekniquetgs_iteknique]

New r1 looks more mean and sounds better imo getting one soon excited
