YAMAHA YZF-R1 Since the original YZF-R1 was released into an awe-struck marketplace, Yamaha’s flagship 1000cc model has established a reputation as being one of the most innovative and exciting motorcycles in the large-capacity supersport class. Featuring an all-new 998cc engine whose design, feel and character has been influenced by Lorenzo's championship winning M1, the new high-tech R1 powerplant is closely linked to our Moto GP bike. In fact the R1 engine has benefited from more Moto GP developed technology than any other in its long and prestigious history. In addition, the completely redesigned aluminium Deltabox chassis and aggressive new styling, give the new-generation YZF-R1 a radical new look and bring innovative technology to the class. In the same way that the original YZF-R1 threw the rule book out of the window, this revolutionary new model sets a new benchmark for the super-competitive 1000cc supersport category. FEATURES Crossplane crankshaft engine for purer torque output Uneven firing interval for new levels of feel and traction Newly-designed inline 4-cylinder engine Crossplane crankshaft with uneven firing interval for linear throttle control Newly-developed forged aluminium pistons Closed-deck ceramic-composite plated cylinder Fracture split (FS) carburised con rods Optimised large-diameter crank journal and flywheel mass YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake) YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) Fuel injection system with secondary injector D-mode Map Redesigned forced air intake Slipper clutch 4-2-1-2 exhaust and twin up-slanted mufflers |

YAMAHA YZF-R6 If you’re chasing the benchmark ride in Supersport performance – stop looking. Yamaha’s iconic R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha has ever built. The first production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle system, the R6 features the same Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake as on the R1, to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader powerband… benefits even more pronounced on the higher-revving R6. A back torque-limiting slipper clutch also greatly enhances braking and downshifting from high speed and complements the highly developed and mass centralised chassis and geometry combination for superlative trackday manners. And because life also exists away from the ripple strip, you’ll find the R6 just as immaculately behaved when the adrenalin and the rpm are riding lower in the gauge. YCCI - Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake instantly switches the funnel length for super-responsive, smooth, instantaneous power delivery. Multifunction digital and analogue instruments clearly display all the vital signs and features a lap timer operated by right handlebar switch. Deltabox aluminium frame incorporates GPinspired engine positioning and rigidity for the ultimate in 600-class handling. Midship titanium muffler contributes to mass centralisation and contains EXUP for a broad powerband, spot-on injection and emissions compliance. Fork height adjustability and rear ride-height adjustment accommodates a great range of riders, and tyres. |
