Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2018

Yamaha R1 2018

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is closer to a racing machine than ever before. The engine shines with lightness and agility. The seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also due to the heart-warming sound and is now 20 years after the first R1 the biggest milestone in R1 history.
