The YZF-R1 is more closely linked to the MotoGP winning M1 than ever before. Its
innovative 998cc inline four-cylinder engine features a crossplane crankshaft with
an uneven firing interval ensuring superb throttle linearity, giving a feeling that
the rider's throttle hand is directly connected to the rear tyre. The new engine
feels and sounds smoother than ever, emittting an unforgettable exhaust note. Pushing
out 182 PS and 115.5 Nm of torque, this MotoGP-inspired engine is the most advanced
powerplant ever seen on a Yamaha supersport bike.
One ride on the R6 lets you know that this bike was born on the racetrack. Its MotoGP-bred
technology is tuned to give you the kind of outstanding engine and chassis performance
usually reserved for professional riders. Everything about the R6 is geared towards
ultimate cornering, and getting rider and machine working as one.
With its R-series styling, sporty performance and handling, the YZF-R125 is the perfect
introduction to supersport riding. Its liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve, single cylinder,
SOHC engine is tuned to deliver free-revving performance. Like all R-series bikes,
it features a lightweight Deltabox frame; linked to a cast aluminium swinging-arm
it gives the R125 class-leading handling.
