I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN SECOND GEAR WHEN THE CAR NEXT TO ME BEGAN TO MERGE OVER ON ME.  I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A COLLISIONS BUT MY BIKE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE.  FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OUT OF THE WAS OF THE MERGING VEHICLE..     THE LAG IN THE THROTTLE RESPONSE SEEMED VERY STRANGE TO ME SO I DECIDED TO TEST THE BIKE BY RECREATING THE SCENARIO.  MY FINDING WERE, IF I RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE IN 2ND GEAR AT APPROXIMATELY 48 MPH (5500 RPM) AND TRY TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE (IE- TO AVOID A COLLISION,,,ETC), THE BIKE WILL LAG AND ACCELERATE SLOWLY.  THIS DEFECT WAS CONSISTENT EACH TIME I TESTED THE BIKE.  ALL OTHER GEARS AND SPEEDS, ACCELERATION WAS PERFECT.    BEFORE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY PROBLEM, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ONLINE.  I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR 2007 YAMAHA R1 LAG, AND TO MY SURPRISE, I GOT COUNTLESS RESULTS ON THE TOPIC.  APPARENTLY THE ISSUE IS FOUND IN ALL 2007 YAMAHA R1S IN THE U.S.    NOW, BEING AN EXPERIENCED RIDER, I CAN SURLY SAY THAT 40 TO 50 MPH ARE VERY COMMON SPEEDS FOR A MOTORCYCLIST WHO TRAVELS CITY STREETS. AND ITS A FACT THAT ACCELERATION ALONG WITH PROPER BRAKING AND MANEUVER ABILITY, ARE KEY COMPONENTS TO RIDING A MOTORCYCLE AND AVOIDING LIFE THREATENING SITUATION WHILE IN TRAFFIC.     THE YAMAHA WEBSITE CLEARLY STATES,,,THE YZF-R1 USES THE YCC-T FLY-BY-WIRE THROTTLE SYSTEM FOR FLAWLESS RESPONSE UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. YAMAHA CHIP CONTROL THROTTLE CONTROLS A 32-BIT ECU FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FOR SUPER-RESPONSIVE, SMOOTH, INSTANTANEOUS POWER DELIVERY.  THIS IS FAR FROM TRUTH AND YAMAHA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *JB","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"YAMAHA","productModel":"YZFR1","manufacturer":"Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA"}]}]}
