Created to represent the pinnacle of sportbike performance, Yamaha’s iconic R1 returns for 2025 with the same explosive 998cc CP4 crossplane engine, comprehensive electronics suite and renowned handling character. Yamaha continues to use knowledge gained from high-level competition to offer some of the most advanced and capable supersport models in the industry.
The latest model features new lightweight Brembo Stylema monobloc front brake calipers paired with a new Brembo master cylinder to offer outstanding braking power and exceptional feel. There is also a fully redesigned KYB front fork offering excellent response, road feel and chassis performance.
New carbon fibre winglets not only add to the R1’s sleek, aerodynamic look, they create additional downforce for enhanced front-end feel when braking or cornering. And a new rider and passenger seat cover texture balances both grip and ease of movement for a better sense of control and connection to the machine.
