2023 YAMAHA YZF-R1,Introducing the new 2023 Yamaha YZF-R1… Featuring next-generation R-Series styling, sophisticated electronic control, supersport braking and suspension performance and a high-performance crossplane engine. Yamaha has a rich heritage of building supersport motorcycles designed to deliver the pinnacle of performance on and off the track. The YZF-R1 is forged from the technology and development gained from countless racetrack challenges, from MotoGP to the Canadian Superbike Championship. From crossplane crankshaft engines to revolutionary electronics such as the six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Yamaha’s historical achievements have become the future of R World. Right from the very start the R1 was developed without compromise, and this pure and focused design philosophy is what makes this high-tech race-bred Yamaha the most exciting supersport bike of our time. Just about everything on the latest R1 can directly trace its origins back to the racetrack, where Yamaha’s race winning MotoGP and WorldSBK bikes have been developing and testing the advanced technology that you can now see and experience on your R1. R history. Your future. Every piece of advanced technology on the R1 has been developed using the knowledge gained from Yamaha’s involvement in racing at the highest level. The remarkable 998cc 4-cylinder EU5 crossplane engine is a direct descendant of the M1 unit – while the aerodynamic bodywork comes straight from racetrack development. But above all, it’s the R1’s incredible array of smart electronics that make this bike so very special. Equipped with everything from a ride-by-wire throttle through to a Launch Control System (LCS), Engine Brake Management (EBM) as well as Brake Control (BC) and much more, this is the ultimate Yamaha supersport that is built to lead the way on the road and track. And it comes in a sporty new duo-tone Icon Blue with matte blue colour scheme, as well as the dynamic Yamaha Black option. The YZF-R1 comes equipped with the next generation of Yamaha’s unique 998 cc inline four-cylinder crossplane crankshaft (CP4) engine for refined performance. 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. Features such as titanium fracture-split connecting rods and offset cylinders contribute to the CP4 engine’s responsive and potent character. Built around Yamaha’s refined Deltabox aluminum frame technology and featuring high-spec, fully-adjustable suspension, the YZF-R1 exemplifies over 20 years of chassis technology developed on racetracks around the world. Based on 23 years of proven race-winning engineering, the Yamaha R1M and R1 are forged from the technology and development gained from countless challenges in MotoGP, World Superbike and MotoAmerica Superbike races, and the gruelling demands of Endurance World Championship racing. The 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine features Yamaha’s exclusive crossplane crankshaft technology derived from Yamaha’s YZR-M1 MotoGP race bike. Every aspect of this unique engine is built to thrill. The 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.? The YZF-R1 utilizes track-focused braking hardware, featuring potent 4-piston radial-mounted front calipers, stainless steel front brake lines, big 320mm front rotors with high-friction pads and a compact ABS unit. The Bridgestone RS11 tires ensure true racetrack-ready traction with balanced road feel and handling. The YZF-R1 features beautifully integrated bodywork and sleek, stylish lines which create an unmistakably aggressive, aerodynamic profile.
