Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1M 2015

The Yamaha R1M is a high-priced motorbike. But you don't pay the extra price for worthless bells and whistles, but for a high-quality racing chassis and other tasty details. The R1M is a good choice for those riders who always upgrade their bikes with tuned suspension anyway. In practice, the R1M rides superbly and the ERS system from Öhlins seems tailor-made for it.

High-quality hardware components for the chassis

easy-to-use electronic high-tech suspension from Öhlins

finished racing machine but still road legal

Very limited number of units available

quickshifter only supports upshifting
