actually, it doesn't work that way. V1 is the takeoff safety speed. if you have an engine failure at V1 or below, you can reject and have stopping distance remaining.

in most jets, it's V1, Vr then V2. In the B727 V1 and Vr are usually the same under standard conditions. In larger jets V1 happens well before Vr.
