Latest Yamaha Sports Bike - Yamaha YZF R1 - Features and Specifications.
Author Naresh
CROSSPLANE TECHNOLOGY DELIVERS POWER LIKE NEVER BEFORE: The latest edition YZF-R1 is the first-ever production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. First pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, crossplane technology puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. The result? Incredibly smooth, roll-on power delivery out of the corners with outrageous amounts of torque like you’ve never thought possible.
It’s like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline 4. BODYWORK. THAT WORKS: The R1’s futuristic bodywork does more than add break-away-from-thecrowd styling. It has a serious, uncluttered look. The side fairing is smooth for a sleek appearance. And instead of the usual four-bulb headlight design, it has just two projector-type bulbs mounted closer to the nose of the bike. This position ram air ducts closer in for a more compact, smooth look. And the rounded lenses are totally unique to the supersport industry. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING: The 2010 R1. More than a bike. It’s a whole other level of Automobile Technology…and performance.
