Yamaha design and styling are an evolution of the previous R1, with added air-flow as the key target. Styling is always in the eye of the beholder, so we will let you be the judge of that. From a technical standpoint they have increased the air-exit vent in front of the rider’s legs to keep the engine cooler and a slimmer tail section and higher windscreen aid in aerodynamics. An updated instrument cluster features an over-load of techy gadgets, including an Accelerator Opening Angle Indicator, plus gear position readout and engine mode indication, among many other displays.
Colors for the US market include the traditional Yamaha Blue, plus Yellow, Black, and Red and White, which pays homage to the original ‘98 R1 and is our personal favorite.
