The Yamaha YZF-R1 and the higher-spec R1M continue into the 2023 Yamaha Motorcycle lineup, essentially unchanged over last year’s models.

Yamaha R1 Review
Quick Comparison
Yamaha R1 is their finest sportbike of all time. The liter class machine is a perfect blend of lightweight performance and unconventional styling. In India, the flagship Yamaha R1 is priced at INR 18,16,192 (ex-showroom). It has seen drop of around INR 6 lakh worth price in last few months as Yamaha changed the country of import initially and later, tax on completely built units was reduced by a big margin. Both factors made this superbike feel more genuinely priced than ever. R1 is powered by a 998cc, four cylinder engine producing 200PS at 13,500 rpm and 112.4 Nm at 11,500 rpm.
The motorcycle weighs 200 kg, including full fuel tank and oil. Carrying 17 liter fuel tank, Yamaha R1 is strictly a track based machine and getting the true benefits of ownership require one to have some sort of membership with a track loving racing club. Outside India, Yamaha R1 is available in three different variants. Those looking for automatic electronic adjustable suspension, better brakes and much more can go for R1M while others who are just into leisure riding can go for R1S. The former is more expensive by almost $6300 (INR 4.20 lakh lakh approx).
Yamaha R1S is priced $1700 (INR 1.14 lakh approx) lower than standard variant. The brand once launched Yamaha R1M in India but due to least demand, they had to cancel their plan of further expansion and discontinue that specific model. Design lines on all there variants stay same while shade options are specific and vary from one variant to another. Buyers of Yamaha R1 are very few in India. Not just that, complete liter class sportbike lineup has limited number of buyers in India. Majority of owners prefer lesser tempting products like Ninja 1000 and smaller bikes in India.
Discussions and Questions Yamaha R1
What is the Launch Date of Yamaha R15 V3?
The Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 was launched in India on January 8, 2018. This launch introduced a new design, mechanical components, and a 155cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine producing 19.3PS and 14.7Nm of torque. The BS6-compliant version of the R15 V3.0 was later launched on December 19, 2019, with updated features and a slightly reduced performance output of 18.6PS and 14.1Nm of torque.
Is this dual channel abs featured?
Dual Channel ABS is a advanced braking system that operates independently on both the front and rear wheels of a motorcycle. This system applies braking pressure to both wheels individually, based on the amount of force applied to each brake lever, ensuring optimal braking balance and stability. It prevents the rear wheel from lifting or the front wheel from over-braking, maintaining steering control during hard braking and reducing the risk of skidding. Dual Channel ABS provides shorter stopping distances, improved control during braking, and enhanced safety on various road surfaces, including dry tarmac, wet roads, gravel, and loose dirt. This technology is featured in several modern motorcycles, such as the Hero Karizma XMR and TVS Apache series, to enhance rider safety and confidence[5).

I have never seen such a superbike like this style. Yamaha is my favorite bike company since when I know about all bike companies. The Yamaha r1 comes with more power and more mileage and is more attractive than other superbikes. This Bike is so good for a rider. And this is also my Dream Bike .because I am not a good height, I can buy it but I can't drive it well because of my height.

The 2012 Yamaha YZF-R1 is unlike anything before. Yamaha R1 represents a paradigm shift in technology, performance and controllability among high class sport bikes. The R1 has been designed to be the “Ultimate Cornering Master 1000” of the open super sport class. We as Planet Auto recommend YZF-R1 for ultimate riding experience.
