Video: Yamaha Making Progress with 2015 R1 Superbike

Nobody said it would be easy. Taking a brand-new motorcycle and turning it into a competitive racebike for a brand-new race series is exactly the opposite of easy, in fact. That hurdle isn't slowing the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha team however, and in this latest video from the team you get a first-hand look at how the team is going about dealing with the challenge—through hard work.

Stay tuned also for more footage from the test. Sport Rider was actually on hand for the team's test and was able to speak with Josh Hayes, Cameron Beaubier, and Keith McCarty about the development of the new R1 racebike, and will have a full video ready to release soon. Stay tuned.
