The thrilling R1 blurs the line between daily rides and track days. The YZF-R1 is packed with MotoGP Championship technology: high-output, crossplane-crankshaft, 998cc engine, advanced Rider Active electronics, cutting edge suspension and more.

MotoGP, the highest form of motorcycle racing, is our proving ground. The technology Yamaha has pioneered and proven on MotoGP circuits around the world can now be enjoyed by racers and riders alike. The R1 provides riders with a taste of what it would be like to ride the championship winning Yamaha M1. A showcase of Yamaha’s technology leadership, the R1 raises the bar with its uncompromised performance and handling.

Power

By reducing frictional losses, using high tech, lightweight components and optimizing intake efficiency the R1 engine offers significant power and torque. And with a comprehensive list of electronic control technologies, the light, compact R1 is easier to control than ever.

Technology

The R1 is Yamaha’s technology flagship. From titanium rods to magnesium wheels to a whole host of electronic “Yamaha Ride Controls”, the R1 exemplifies Yamaha’s leadership role in motorcycle development and highlights our innovation, quality and attention to detail.

MotoGP®-Derived Crossplane Crankshaft Superbike
The YZF-R1® features a lightweight and compact crossplane crankshaft, inline-four-cylinder, 998cc high output engine. Featuring titanium fracture-split connecting rods, an offset cylinder block and magnesium covers, the motor delivers extremely high horsepower and a strong pulse of linear torque for outstanding performance, all wrapped in aerodynamic MotoGP®-style bodywork.
Class-Leading Electronics Package
The YZF-R1 features the most advanced electronics package ever offered on a supersport machine, with a full suite of interrelated technologies that enable the rider to enjoy the fullest range of performance with greater comfort, control, and ease of operation than ever before.
MotoGP®-Level Controllability
The YZF-R1 pioneered the use of the first six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) ever offered on a street-going motorcycle. The IMU consists of a gyro sensor that measures pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as an accelerometer that measures acceleration in the fore-aft, up-down, and right-left directions… all at a rate of 125 calculations per second. By calculating each signal, the IMU finds the precise vehicle position and movement, and communicates it to the ECU, enabling it to control the bike’s systems.
Digital Rider Aids
The YZF-R1 is fully equipped with banking-sensitive Traction Control and unified ABS, as well as Slide Control, Launch Control, and more. For 2018, the Quick Shift System is updated to give both up and downshifting ability, automatically matching engine speed on downshifts for rapid clutchless shifts in either direction. The Wheel Lift Control system is also refined for smoother intervention and improved forward drive.
Deltabox® Chassis
Advanced aluminum Deltabox® frame uses the engine as a stressed member of the chassis and is designed to provide optimum longitudinal, lateral and torsional rigidity balance. Fully adjustable suspension front and rear provides exceptional road-holding and tuneability.

New for 2018:

•Updated Quick Shift System (QSS)
The new QSS on the 2018 YZF-R1 features downshifting capability as well as allowing full-throttle clutchless upshifting. On downshifts, the ECU matches engine speed on each downshift for instantaneous gear changes with minimal chassis disruption.
•Refined Wheel Lift Control (LIF)
For 2018, the R1’s Lift Control System is updated with more progressive mapping improving forward drive when the system intervenes.
