MotoGP Inspired Winglets

Developed through extensive simulator and on-track testing, new MotoGP-inspired carbon fiber winglets create additional downforce for exceptional chassis stability and added front-end feel when braking or cornering

Brembo Brakes NEW FOR 2025

New premium Brembo Stylema monobloc front brake calipers are paired with a new Brembo master cylinder to offer outstanding braking power and exceptional feel.

KYB Front Suspension

A new KYB front fork is fully redesigned offering excellent response, road feel and chassis stability. Individual adjusters on the right and left fork tubes offer a full range of adjustability including preload, high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustments for precise damping control.

MotoGP Derived Crossplane Crankshaft Engine

The YZF-R1's 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine features Yamaha's exclusive crossplane crankshaft technology derived from the YZR-M1 MotoGP race bike. By equalizing inertial forces at the crankshaft, the CP4 motor delivers a direct feeling of linear torque, giving the rider the ultimate connection between throttle grip and the rear wheel.

Digital Superbike Technology YCCT

The YZF-R1 features a cableless ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system that transforms the rider's inputs into motion, with a full suite of IMU-powered electronic rider aids that bring new meaning to the term "rider confidence."

Standard Features:

Engine

Lightweight titanium connecting rods, titanium intake valves and forged pistons.

Variable Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I) system adjusts length of intake based on engine speed.

Compact rocker-arm valve actuation allow for greater valve lift.

Lightweight titanium muffler and heat shield reduce weight, centralize mass.

Compact, stacked 6-speed transmission features close-ratio gearing.

Advanced assist and slipper clutch provides confident downshifts.

Advanced 998cc CP4 engine with crossplane crankshaft technology.

Electronics

Four-level Lift Control System (LIF) detects front wheel lift and regulates engine power to maintain chassis attitude and forward drive.

Quick Shift System (QSS) with three settings enables clutchless upshifting and downshifting.

An integrated GPS data-logging system is enabled through Yamaha's Communication Control Unit offering vehicle data recording with course mapping and automatic lap timing.

Three-level Launch Control System (LCS) limits engine rpm and throttle opening to maximize acceleration from a standing start.

Four-level Slide Control System (SCS) detects lateral slides and adjusts power delivery to control cornering attitude.

Lean angle-sensitive Traction Control (TCS) incorporates 6-axis IMU to adjust intervention to suit rider preference.

Four-level Power Delivery Mode (PWR) allows rider to adjust engine response to suit preference.

Three-level Engine Brake Management (EBM) system allows rider to adjust engine braking to suit preference.

Yamaha's lean-sensitive Brake Control (BC) System works with ABS to provide progressive brake force intervention as lean increases.

Ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T®) system enables cutting-edge computerized engine management.

Chassis/Suspension

Slim, compact aluminum Deltabox frame for optimal rigidity and outstanding track-focused handling.

Dynamic Öhlins® Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS) works with the IMU to adjust suspension in real time for optimum performance.

Öhlins® gas-charged NPX fork delivers consistent damping with exceptional ride quality and feel.

Radial-mounted 4-piston front brake calipers, high-friction pad compound and braided stainless steel lines provide firm response and precise feel.

Premium 10-spoke cast magnesium wheels significantly lower unsprung weight and rotational mass.

High performance Bridgestone RS11 tires offer track-worthy handling, superb traction and balanced feel.

Additional Features

Advanced, full-color TFT display offers selectable layouts and a wide range of vehicle information.

Full LED lighting offers a broad spread of illumination and high visibility.

Unique R1M styling features include full carbon-fiber bodywork, polished aluminum swingarm and Special Edition color scheme.

Updated seat cover texture balances both grip and ease of movement for a better sense of connection and control.
