Yamaha R1 -01

[Johansson]

I have decided to put the phone on hold and started to model my brothers R1. Its hard without any good blueprints, but it make it so much easier to just rock out to the garage and take a picture and back in.

Havent got far yet, put most of the time to scale upp the rear wheel to have something have a reference to. Have the swingarm and rear fender 35% done also but nothing to show.

Crits are most welcome

Ahhh, the sexiest of all motorcycles...Not particulary this year-model, but still ;-)

Keep it up, 'cos I wanna see if you can make it as awesome as it's real-life counter-part!!

[Johansson]

Rear fender done, and the chain cover is almost done saw a thing that i have to change on it

[Xer0123]

your clays are difficult to see.

Nice clean start! Not a bike person myself but my mates are & ones got an R1 (not sure if its 2001) & yep it sure is a cool looking bike. Will be watching this one .

[Johansson]

renders have improved greatly

nicep rogress, this should be interesting

[DbblGlock]

wow, that looks really good, i always like models of motorbikes, especially when they start off this good.
keep going with this (is this the model with the exhausts under the seat? or is that the knewer one)

[Johansson]

I redid the swingarm and made weld surface where it should be, hard to see them in clay renders, you could see it under the chaincover.

Made the rear sprocket also,and for the chain its coming up. I have seen a turorial about how a to model a chain, cant find it again. if someone have it please share it with me

Allowit: funny you mentioned this, NO it dont have the exhaust under the tail light, BUT i model this so we can rebuilt it, just need referens so we know how to make i possible without it looks like amateurs done it
