Yamaha YZF-R1
With back-to-back Superbike Championships in 2011 and 2012 and packed with MotoGP technology, the 2014 Yamaha YZFR1 is the most advanced Open Class sportbike ont he planet. And unlike anything else. That's because it's the world's first production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Resulting in incredibly smooth power delivery and outrageous torque from a rush like never before. From the track to the street, the 2014 R1 truly is "the 1." MotoGP, the highest form of motorcycle road racing in the world, is where many of the high performance features found on the 2014 R1 have been developed. From the 7 position traction control system to the revolutionary crossplane crank design with an uneven firing order, the R1 is most advanced sport bike Yamaha has ever produced. Powered by a 998cc in-line 4-cylinder engine, the R1 offers an incredible high rpm rush, plus the rich torque of a twin. On the chassis side we have the latest Deltabox chassis technology providing lightweight, precise handling and a fully adjustable suspension system. Back to back to back AMA Superbike championships are the proof.
ey Features 2 - This R1 keeps all the technological
superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-T® (Yamaha Chip
Controlled Throttle) is a MotoGP® inspired flyby- wire
technology used to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I® is
Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake 3 - In keeping with this machines exceptional cornering
ability and crisp handling, the aluminum frame has been designed
to offer exceptional rigidity balance.The rear frame is
lightweigt Controlled-Fill die-cast magnesium, contributing the
optimum mass centralization. Suspension includes YHSJ (Yamaha
Hydraluic System Japan) front forks which use one of the tricks
developed for our winning MotoGP® bikes: independent damping.
The left fork handles compression damping and the right side
handles 4 - The sound on the YZF-R1 is unlike any other inlinefour cylinder production supersport. The precise and throaty pulse of the exhaust note will have riders enthused every time the thottle is opened. Power Performance Handling
Features and Benefits Engine
This engine design allows a whole new level of rider -
machine communication. One of the most important benefits is the
outstanding cornering performance that increased engine control
allows.
• The cylinder block is a stand-alone piece (not integrated
into the upper crank case). The benefit is reduced weight and a
less tall engine which lowers the centre of gravity.
• The rider can "mechanically close" the throttles by simply
closing the throttle twist grip.

Review
Following the example set by the BMW S1000RR,
Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC and Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja, Yamaha have fitted traction
control to the YZF-R1. It is a proper six-mode system with a full range of
settings – mode six will let you twist the throttle to the max, regardless of
road surface and lean angle and the computers will sort everything out for you.
The system gets progressively more lenient through modes five, four, three, two
and one, with the rider being pretty much on his/her own in mode one.
“We were more interested in producing a bike that was easier to control, than
chasing outright horsepower figures like everyone else. By applying the traction
control system and altering the bike’s geometry as we have, we have taken
another step towards producing a bike that blows the competition away in the
handling department,” says Oliver Grill, from Yamaha’s motorcycle product
planning department, speaking to MS&L. “The R1’s [traction control] system is
track biased. While modes six and five are definitely more focused towards road
riding, the other four are designed with performance in mind. And it’s likely
you’d need a racetrack to experience their true potential,” adds Yoshitomi
Nakagawa, who designed the R1’s traction control system. Source Faster and Faster
