Packed with MotoGP
YZR-M1 technology, the next
generation R1 is here. With a
new crossplane engine, short
wheelbase chassis and high-tech
electronics, it’s ready to connect
to your body and take your
riding to a new level.
Developed without compromise
using YZR-M1 MotoGP
technology, the R1 was born
for the track. 200PS, 199kg
and 1,405mm wheelbase give
an insight into its capabilities.
But it’s what you can’t see that
makes this focused superbike so
special.
Its central nervous system
is a 6-axis Inertial
Measurement Unit that
constantly senses chassis
motion in 3D, creating
controllability over
traction, slides, front
wheel lift, braking and
launches.
