Has the R1 ever won an AMA superbike race?



Has the R1 ever won an AMA superbike race? Any year?
No. The rider wins the race.
Very clever. Let's see him win it on foot then.
Racers have won races by pushing their motorcycle (or car) across the
start/finish line after it ran out of gas.
So if the rider is the one who wins the race, wouldn't it be sufficient
for the rider to cross the finish line? ;)
No. The rider has to somehow manage to get his motorcycle across the finish
line.
Haha I know this! I was just being a smartass. ;)
I don't think so, but they've won SuperStock races.
I think that Yamaha has only had a factory team in Superbike for a year or
two.
The R1 came out in '98 if I am not mistaken.
Back then Superbike was 750, so it wasn't eligible. They ran the R7.
I don't recall a factory effort in Superbike on the R1 prior to these past
few seasons.

So to answer your question. I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
