The new Yamaha YZF-R1 represents a new step towards technology is one of the best in class supersport 1000 cmc. In the design of this new technology has made a radical change, a breakthrough technology MotoGP-derived short-stroke engine with crossplane crankshaft that delivers uneven firing intervals. Secrecy is not a new engine in the higher horsepower, but in an accelerator "line" that will feel the connection between rider and bike. This model R1 system already uses a revolutionary crossplane a crankshaft with MotoGP-style firing range (270 ° - 180 ° - 90 ° - 180 °) which allows the rider to feel the power that a supersport give.

Engineers had redesign the lightweight die-cast aluminum frame spars and Deltabox Truss-type swingarm with ideal rigidity balance for maximum traction and some cornering feel safe. R1 is the new suspension help can be set for running on the highway and the circuit.
The exterior design is very special, starting from lights in the snake eyes to the back of the engine that displays two drums exhaust in triangle shape and a back 190/55R tyre.
