Yamaha has made it known that the new YZF-R1 isn’t just your typical supersports bike. Heck, using the word “typical” might not even do it justice. The YZF-R1 is a god send of a supersports bike, the rare kind of machine that can justifiably say that it was born straight out of the MotoGP technology.
The Japanese bike brand calls the YZF-R1 “the most MotoGP-inspired motorcycle ever.” I’m not going to argue with that because the bike certainly has the credentials to carry that title proudly. At the very least, you can call the R1 as the humanized version of the YZR-M1, the very machine that Yamaha riders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo will use at the soon-to-begin 2015 MotoGP season.
Anytime a bike like the R1 can be compared to a machine for the ages like the M1, you know you have something special on your hands. Even if the R1 doesn’t carry the same frightful technology as the M1, this supersports bike remains right at home on the track as it does pretty much anywhere else.
