I like to place my still to build North Pole motorcycle in a more functional category. One with bikes that are specially adapted to the terrain, like a Dakar bike with special suspension, a Hill Climber with a paddle tyre, or a Drag Racer with a huge rear tyre to create traction. Like an Ice Speedway bike, … but then different-;-)

After the 2013 winter ride on the polar ice I was not completely back to square one. It was only a setback. But so big that to successfully ride to the north pole will require that I carry out a lot and huge changes to the bike. Because I want to keep the Polar Ice Ride R1, sponsored by MotorCorner, like it came out of that adventure, I am going to build another bike. Not an improved version of the 2013 Polar Ice Ride R1, but a completely new one from the start. However, it will be on the base of a Yamaha YZF-R1. I use a 2001 model R1 as a donor bike and use the bare frame and engine as a starting point. Bike parts will be mounted on there, when necessary modified or specially designed for the challenge. For the finishing touch I will use as much parts of the donor R1 as possible.
The reason that I (again) go for the 2000/2001 model engine is that I know out of experience that it is highly reliable and very hard to wreck. Besides that I know it’s few minor points and I know how it’s assembled which is a big bonus if the bike drops dead at forty degrees below zero!
One thing is also for sure. Even though it will become a bike for rough and extreme labour, it’s going to look awesome. A beauty, because we won’t put up with less. So again, R1 worthy!!!
