Video: 2015 R1 Superbike Debut

In the grand scheme of things, seven months is not a long time. In that time we put a few miles on our bicycle, lost a pound or two, and (nearly) kicked our fast food eating habits. Meanwhile, the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha team took the 2015 R1 and turned it into a race-winning superbike.

Here, in a the final installment in a series of videos that have followed the team through the development of the R1 for the 2015 MotoAmerica season, we get a little look at the final product—and even some footage from the superbike races at CoTA. Click play on the video above to watch the action, plus hear Josh Hayes and Cameron Beaubier talk to Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo talk about the bike.
