performance translates to your body and your
mind is just as crucial. Which is why the R1 uses
twin-valve throttle body fuel injection – for
astonishingly responsive throttle control. And
why the R1’s new frame offers 200 per cent
more vertical rigidity than its predecessor –
for superb rider feedback. And why the R6 frame
is a two-piece cast unit – for more feel, less
weight and better looks. Because riding highperformance motorcycles isn’t about being along
for the ride, it’s about being at the very heart of
the ride – feeling, seeing and breathing in every
moment. That’s why we put all our heart and
spirit – Yamaha’s “Art of Engineering” – into these
machines – to offer you an adrenaline-pumping
ride that makes you feel more alive.
HONED AND DEVELOPED ON ROAD AND TRACK,
THE THIRD-GENERATION R1 IS HERE TO CHALLENGE
AND THRILL
The new YZF-R1.
It has no rivals
Standing silently, menacingly in pit lane, it’s
crystal clear that the YZF-R1 is at home. This
motorcycle’s development programme has been
inspired and informed by fusing feedback from
Yamaha’s racing involvement with decades of
experience building class-leading supersport
road bikes. For example, the advances in chassis
technology, weight distribution and aerodynamics
of Yamaha’s race bikes have been utilised to give
the R1 a light, rigid chassis that’s perfect for
carving up road or racetrack. And because form
follows function, the new R1 is an object of great
beauty.
The new R1 is the overall winner of
the 2003 Motorcycle Design Trophy

IT’S ABOUT TEAMWORK.
YOU AND THE R1 WORKING TOGETHER –
NAILING EVERY APEX, HOLDING THE LINE WITH EASE,
MAKING EVERY PASS STICK
The perfect synergy:
Ultimate power,
faultless control
Power-to-weight figures help define the supersport classes. Now the YZF-R1
takes your riding to the next level by a super-powerful, ultra-compact
engine with an extra-light, razor-sharp chassis. Here are the details:
air induction system, five valves per cylinder plus an advanced electronic
fuel injection, created from our MotoGP experience, for an engine
performance that’s like a race bike’s and with such an accurate response
that it seems to read your mind. And the chassis is built to exploit the engine’s
incredible performance – super-stiff Deltabox V frame and swingarm.
It’s a partnership engineered to allow the world’s best riders to dominate every
great road and every legendary racetrack.

for the road
The YZF-R1 is an astonishing and radical machine, from whichever angle
you look at it. Components formed by innovative manufacturing
processes and made from the highest-quality materials unite to produce
a no-compromise whole. With less weight, more power and sharper
handling, the new R1 is set to dominate the large-capacity supersport
market just like the landmark-making original did back in 1998.
The new R1 features bigger front brake discs – mounted on lighter wheels –
with radially mounted calipers. These calipers are mounted parallel to the
direction of discs rotation for unbeatable biting power. The R1 also uses
race-developed upside-down forks, with revised geometry for ultra-sharp
steering.
The aluminium truss-style swingarm – manufactured via a unique process
that allows designers to precisely vary thickness in different areas – delivers
increased rigidity while weighing no more than a racing component. And the
swingarm works with an all-new rear suspension system that features a cast
aluminium shock body and lightweight adjuster.
Also benefiting from race technology, the underseat exhaust system is
all-titanium – light, strong and gorgeous. The system’s compact design
improves ground clearance so the R1 can take advantage of the latest tyre
technology to reach extreme lean angles. The exhaust incorporates a new
featherweight version of Yamaha’s exclusive midrange-boosting EXUP valve.
Newly developed LCD instrument display keeps you fully informed, so you
can keep your concentration where it’s required – on the road ahead. The
dash is housed within the R1’s aggressively restyled fairing, which features
an ultra-modern and unmistakable headlight system. LED taillight combines
with the high-level end can to produce an unforgettable rear view.

Lowest possible weight combined
with impressive power,
no compromise
The R6 communicates with its rider in the
language of speed and control, so you feel what
you need to feel – every ripple in the road, every
beat of the engine’s heart. Our class-leading
supersport machine is powered by a high-revving,
DOHC, inline-four engine that offers incredible
race-winning power, thanks to sophisticated,
digitally-controlled fuel injection and a
horsepower-boosting air induction system. The
compact, lightweight motor is also truly flexible,
so when the circumstances demand that you take
it easy, that’s cool too. Then when it’s time to cut
loose again, just open the throttle and feel the
excitement.
The YZF-R6’s revolutionary aluminium Deltabox III
chassis is the first of its kind to be completely
die-cast produced to deliver an optimum balance
of strength, torsional rigidity and mass. This frame
and swingarm form the slim, strong basis to a
chassis that delivers superb rider feedback,
breathtaking steering and race-winning handling.
And this motorcycle looks just like it goes –
cutting-edge styling leaves no one in doubt of
what the R6 is capable of.
YZF-R1
YZF-R6
Every component is
engineered to excel
Our engineers developed the R6 from the inside out. Its ultra-compact
engine with tri-axes engine shafts has allowed us to centralise the
machine’s mass to offer you massively improved control. And the bike’s
long GP-style swingarm works superbly with the rear suspension system
to deliver superb traction and excellent feedback.
In the world of supersport motorcycling, stopping is every bit as important
as going, which is why the R6’s brakes feature technology developed in
World Championship racing. Each of the R6’s dual front brake calipers is
formed from a single casting, this complex technology offering extra rigidity
for awesome braking performance and dramatically improved feel.
The R6’s beautifully sculpted swingarm is produced using the same
revolutionary aluminium die-cast technology as the rear sub-frame. This
radical engineering solution allows engineers to vary the arm’s thickness to
deliver the ideal ratio of rigidity and flex for brilliant rider feedback and
superb handling, while also reducing weight to a minimum.
Yamaha R-series supersports bikes are easily identified by their aggressive
front-ends, the latest R6 adorned by its unmistakable four-beam Gatling
headlight system that supplies an immensely even flood of light to help you
to see the way ahead on even the darkest of nights.
From the R6’s saddle, you see the road or track stretch ahead, above a
compact and lightweight instrument panel – white-faced analog tacho,
multi-function digital display and racetrack-inspired shift light.
