It was seventeen years ago that Yamaha unveiled the original YZF-R1 in the city of Milan. Light, powerful and agile, the R1 offered a whole new level of performance to the supersport rider.

Right from the beginning of the project it was agreed that this totally new high performance pure sport motorcycle would be developed from scratch without any restrictions. This gave our engineers and designers the opportunity to explore new concepts and designs, and create the kind of machine that, up to now, only factory riders could ever experience.

A compact and new inline 4-cylinder 4-valve crossplane engine develops 200 hp without the use of ram air induction, and delivers a strong pulse of linear torque for outstanding running performance - while the new short wheelbase chassis benefits from weight reducing features such as a magnesium subframe and magnesium wheels in order to achieve a wet weight of only 199 kg (438 lbs) - with a dry weight of 179 kg (394 lbs).
In isolation, these highly impressive figures of 200 hp and 199 kg (438 lbs) show the outstanding racetrack potential of the new R1, but it is the widespread use of advanced electronic control technology that genuinely underlines the R1’s positioning as the next generation superbike.

Fully equipped with banking sensitive Traction Control, as well as Slide Control, Front Lift Control, Quickshifter, Launch Control, ABS and a Unified Brake System – and much more – the next generation Yamaha R1 introduces racers and track day riders to a new era of rider-adaptive performance. For the first time, all riders are given the opportunity to get a taste of MotoGP winning YZR-M1 technology - as enjoyed by Factory Riders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.
