The Yamaha R1's design is a statement of intent. Every line, every angle is designed to maximise aerodynamic performance. The streamlined bodywork not only reduces wind resistance, but also gives it that aggressive look that's instantly captivating.

The slim LED headlights and integrated air intakes contribute to its unique character, while the raised tail and single seat reinforce its competitive spirit.

Cutting-edge technology

The Yamaha R1 is equipped with an impressive list of technologies designed to enhance the rider experience and ensure optimum performance:

998cc Crossplane engine: This engine offers smooth but explosive power delivery, ensuring impressive acceleration and a distinctive sound.

Advanced electronics: The R1 includes a comprehensive electronics package that incorporates Traction Control (TCS), Slip Control (SCS), Lift Control (LIF) and adjustable power modes.

IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit): This system monitors the bike's movements on 6 axes, providing real-time data for dynamic adjustments.

Adjustable suspension: Both the front fork and rear shock allow custom settings to suit any type of riding.

On the track and on the road

Although designed to shine on the racetrack, the Yamaha R1 is perfectly capable of delivering a thrilling experience on the road. Its ability to reach blistering speeds and agile cornering make it a favourite choice for adrenaline junkies. In racing, it has proven to be a winning machine, establishing itself as a favourite in superbike championships.
