Yamaha YZF-1000 R1M

Based on the championship winning R1, the incredible R1M is the pinnacle of Yamaha’s pure racing technology. It provides a riding experience like nothing before it. Power delivery is very linear and controllable with our comprehensive YRC electronic controls. Add in premium features including an Ohlins Electronic Racing Suspension, lightweight carbon fiber bodywork and our new Communication Control Unit that is both a data logger and data setting tool, and you have a machine that is destined to improve racing skills and results.

The YZF-R1M motorcycle is a special version of the R1, and comes with an even higher factory specification – enabling every racer and track rider to discover their true potential.

A 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) offers controllability over traction, slides, front wheel lift, braking and launches. Its Communication Control Unit with GPS allows riders to look at lap times and other running data on a tablet – and the R1M’s Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS) delivers ultimate handling

With its 200PS crossplane engine, short wheelbase chassis, 3D control electronics and exclusive carbon bodywork, R1M brings M1-derived factory-bike technology to private owners.

Suspension

The Yamaha R1M comes equipped with electronically adjustable, premium Ohlins “Electronic Racing Suspension” with 120 mm (4.7″) of wheel travel front & rear. Electronic Racing Suspension also further enhances the performance potential of the R1M with electronically controlled independent damping front & rear.

Standard on the R1M are magnesium wheels, oil pan, cylinder head cover & crankcase covers. The lightweight design reduces unsprung weight & contributes to excellent suspension & handling performance.

Electronic Rider Controls

The R1M has everything from a Launch Control System (LCS) to Slide Control System (SCS).Many of the rider assist aids are derived from Yamaha’s MotoGP race efforts and help make the R1M more controllable and enjoyable to ride.

Cutting-edge MotoGP®-Derived Crossplane Crankshaft Engine
The YZF-R1M® features a lightweight and compact crossplane crankshaft, inline-four-cylinder, 998cc high output engine. Featuring a first ever for a production motorcycle, titanium fracture split connecting rods delivering extremely high horsepower and a strong pulse of linear torque for outstanding performance.

•Class-leading Electronics Package
The YZF-R1M features the most advanced MotoGP®-inspired electronics package ever offered on a supersport machine: a full suite of inter-related technologies, enabling the rider to enjoy the fullest range of performance with great comfort, control, and ease of operation.
•The Ultimate MotoGP®-derived Supersport
The YZF-R1M features an Öhlins® Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS), carbon fiber bodywork, and a Communication Control Unit (CCU) with GPS that enables the rider to capture ride data (including GPS tracking) and then download it via WiFi to the Yamaha Y-TRAC smartphone and tablet app. Once the data is downloaded, the rider can analyze it overlaid with the track map. Setting changes can then be made via the YRC Setting app and uploaded back to the R1M.
•MotoGP®-level Controllability
Featuring the first six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) ever offered on a street-going motorcycle, the R1M represents the dawn of a new digital era where all riders can experience total 3D controllability.
•Informed Systems
IMU consists of a gyro sensor that measures pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as an accelerometer, or G-sensor, that measures acceleration in the fore-aft, up-down, and right-left directions… all at a rate of 125 calculations per second. By calculating each signal, the IMU finds the precise vehicle position and movement, and communicates it to the ECU, enabling it to control the bike’s systems.

•Digital Rider Aids
The R1M is fully equipped with banking-sensitive Traction Control, as well as Slide Control, Wheel Lift Control, Quickshifter, Launch Control, ABS, a Unified Braking System, and much more. The all-new R1M gives street riders, track day participants, and full-on racers an unmatched and unprecedented level of rider-adaptive performance.
•Deltabox® Frame
Advanced aluminum Deltabox® frame uses the engine as a stressed member of the chassis and is designed to provide the optimum balance of longitudinal, lateral and torsional rigidity.
•Titanium Exhaust System
A midship-layout exhaust system with titanium headers and muffler canister is positioned low and in the middle of the chassis for improved mass centralization.
•MotoGP® Styling
The styling on the new R1M is inspired by the YZR-M1, purposely sculpted for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
