At the Motorcycle Show held in Milan, Italy, in September of 1997, the Yamaha YZF-R1 supersport motorcycle made its debut. Displaying a strong 1000cc engine, it offers the compact construction of a 400cc bike. The YZF-R1 was developed for maximum possible cornering capability in a production bike. With a 1000cc water-cooled, four stroke, 4-cylinder, 5-valve motor and adopting a redesigned EXUP exhaust system, it pumps out 150hp of high-intensity power. Discreet throttle control makes both superb acceleration reaction and rhythmic cornering a real possibility. The Deltabox II aluminum framework had been popular not only for its rigidity, but more so because of its moderate freedom during tight cornering. With the addition of a lengthy span aluminum swing supply, high control ability is accomplished. By adopting an upside-down front side fork, stroke distance is increased and traction heightened. Boasting a sharp type with multi-reflector lights, the YZF-R1 was offered an unprecedented style. From contact points involving the driver and motorcycle, down to the material found in the seat and tank, the YZF-R1 is completely studied. Needless to say, the abundance of high accuracy and quality parts goes without saying. Built to cruise at high speeds on winding roadways, the YZF-R1 shatters expectations about big exhaust engine motorcycles. Yamaha has expanded the possibilities of a 1000cc bicycle.
