| Obviously,
with its 998cc, 180-horsepower ram-air fuel-injected
engine, the YZF-R1 is intended for riders who like
their performance straight up.
Not so obvious is that years
of Yamaha liter-bike evolution have produced a machine that
offers unsurpassed refinement, control, and confidence.
Optimum weight distribution,
along with advanced chassis design and power
management software, produce a bike that puts the
horsepower into harness and then reins it into control with
the latest in braking hardware.
Add to that the sculpted
fuel tank and narrow frame and you have an organic
machine that nearly disappears beneath you at speed.
The result is the winner
of Roadracing World and Motorcyclist magazines' Open-class
comparison tests.
Take a look at the
Features & Benefits that make the R1 the ultimate motorcycling
expression on the planet.
