Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2021

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. 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 because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!

Yamaha R1M 2018

Riding the 2018 Yamaha YZF-R1M, you're amazed that there's such a wide range of sports bikes out there. This one is perfect! Who needs an alternative?

But the R1M is more mature.

High-quality hardware components for the chassis

easy-to-use electronic high-tech suspension of the latest generation from Öhlins, finished racing machine but still road-legal

Very limited number of units available

front brake discs not fully floating - makes problems with sharp pads in racing
