New Yamaha R1 unveiled at Eicma

THIS is Yamaha's 2015 R1, with more power, less weight and a sophisticated new electronics package. The new version of the flagship sports bike makes a claimed 200hp and weighs 199kg wet, 18hp more and 7kg less than the current model. It gives the new R1 a power-to-weight ratio of more than 1hp/kg and one of the best available in any bike on the market. It's got a new crossplane engine with titanium fracture-split conrods, a 10.5-litre airbox, two-directional fuel injectors and a titanium exhaust. Highlights of the new eletronics package include banking-sensitive traction control and ABS, launch and lift control, power modes and a quick-shifter. A modified chassis features an asymetrical aluminium deltabox for compact dimensions and a short wheel-base. It's got a magnesium sub-frame, aluminium tank and cast magnesium wheels. The fairing design is influenced by Yamaha's M1 MotoGP bike with a central ram air take, according to the firm. Yamaha also unveiled a...

MotoGP gods Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo made an appearance at EICMA Milan to pull the covers off what Yamaha is calling “the most MotoGP-inspired motorcycle ever” – and while we’ll leave it to others to debate whether Ducati’s Desmosedici RR already took that title long ago, the new R1 looks like a very yummy piece of kit. In recent years it’s been European bikes setting the supersports agenda, with BMW’s S1000RR, MV Agusta’s F4 and Ducati’s Panigale beating each other over the heads with peak power figures around the 200-horsepower mark and the Japanese factories maintaining a dignified separation back around the 180 mark. 2015 seems to be the year Japan decided “enough!” Kawasaki struck first, a month ago, with the frankly silly H2R, packing 1,000 supercharged cubic centimeters of lunacy that’s said to peak out at 300 horsepower and is now availab...
