Racing DNA
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

Racing DNA
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.

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.
