Yamaha has slashed prices of the two completely built units (CBU) motorcycles in its range. The price cut for the MT-09 and the YZF-R1 is in the range of 12 per cent of the original sticker price. With the price cut, the MT-09 will now set you back by Rs 9.5 lakhs while the YZF-R1 retails at Rs 18.16 lakhs (both ex-showroom). 

Thursday, 14 September 2023 04:29 AM

The Yamaha YZF-R1 needs no introduction. Considered one of the most influential supersports ever made, the iconic Japanese motorcycle has been around for 25 years now. Its most recent update was in 2020, when a complete overhaul brought a new engine, top-of-the-line electronics and hardware, and several other features derived from Yamaha’s successful MotoGP endeavors. The Yamaha YZF-R1 and the higher-spec R1M continue into the 2023 Yamaha Motorcycle lineup, essentially unchanged over last year’s models.

Saturday, 05 October 2024 05:35 PM The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M will be available with high-performance Bridgestone RS11 tires and premium 10-spoke cast magnesium wheels, ensuring top-notch handling and performance. The bikes also feature a compact, stacked 6-speed transmission with close-ratio gearing. I believe the combination of these components will deliver exceptional riding experience.
Tuesday, 01 October 2024 12:20 PM Yamahas electronic aids on the 2025 R1 and R1M include a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Lean-sensitive Brake Control, Three-level Engine Brake Management, Four-level Power Delivery Mode, and more. These advanced systems enhance rider confidence and control. I think these electronic aids are a game-changer for serious riders.
Saturday, 28 September 2024 10:06 PM The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1M will feature full carbon fiber bodywork, including the new aerodynamic winglets, which visually integrate seamlessly with the rest of the bike. The R1M also retains its polished aluminum swingarm and distinctive color scheme, maintaining its exclusive appeal. I believe the carbon fiber bodywork adds a premium touch to the R1M.
Wednesday, 25 September 2024 12:54 PM Yamahas decision to add winglets to the 2025 R1 marks a significant shift in design, aligning with other superbikes in the market. These winglets are designed to enhance the front-end feel under braking and cornering, providing better stability and control. I think this is a necessary step to keep up with the competition.
Sunday, 22 September 2024 08:31 AM The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M will retain the advanced 998cc CP4 engine with crossplane crankshaft technology, known for its performance and reliability. The engine features lightweight titanium connecting rods, titanium intake valves, and forged pistons. This engine has been a cornerstone of the R1s success.
Friday, 20 September 2024 03:23 PM Yamaha has finally addressed the long-criticized braking performance of the R1 by equipping the 2025 model with 320mm Brembo Stylema monobloc front calipers and a new Brembo master cylinder. This should provide significantly better braking power and control. I believe this change will make a big difference for riders.
Thursday, 19 September 2024 11:30 AM Yamaha has homologated the new YZF-R1 model for the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, effective from September 2024 for an eight-year period. This homologation includes both Phase 1 and Phase 2, making the bike eligible for competition. This move is part of Yamahas ongoing efforts to improve their racing performance. I think this is a great step forward for Yamaha in the racing world.
Thursday, 19 September 2024 07:08 AM Ahead of the Acerbis Italian Round, Yamaha revealed a modified R1 machine for the remainder of the 2024 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship. The new version includes a new aero package with winglets, improved front fork, and enhanced braking system. These changes aim to increase downforce and improve handling. I believe these updates will significantly boost Yamahas competitiveness in the championship.
Thursday, 19 September 2024 06:37 PM The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 will see a price increase to $18,999, a $600 hike from the previous model. The updates include a new textured rider and passenger seat cover for better grip, along with the aforementioned braking and suspension improvements. The R1M model will also receive similar updates and a price increase to $27,699. I think the new seat cover is a nice touch for rider comfort.
Wednesday, 18 September 2024 05:21 PM The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M models have been unveiled, featuring significant updates including new carbon fiber aerodynamic winglets, fully adjustable 43mm KYB front forks, and Brembo Stylema four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers. These changes address long-standing issues with braking performance and add aerodynamic enhancements. The R1 will be available in Team Yamaha Blue or Matte Raven Black, while the R1M will come in Carbon Fiber.

Yamaha R1 Review

07 May, 2018 02:49 AM

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 Answers Yamaha R1

Is Yamaha R15 V3 good for long rides?
01 December 2023 06:59

No, because the Yamaha R15 V3 is more of a sporting motorcycle than a touring machine. Because this is a race bike rather than a cruiser, it is not suitable for long distance riding. Not for more than 60-70 kilometers. It is also dependent on your physical fitness.

Why is Yamaha R15 V3 so powerful?
01 December 2023 06:55

Yamaha R15 V3  produces 18.6 kW (20.7 PS) at 10,000 rpm, making it one of the most powerful bikes. The engine provides quick acceleration and top speed, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy riding fast.

Is the Yamaha R125 reliable?
18 September 2023 04:13

The YZF R125 is a European-built bike and there are no real issues with the build quality. However, you will want to be careful when buying any used 125cc motorcycle as it will most likely be an inexperienced rider who had it before you.

Why Yamaha is not launching the R125 in India?
18 September 2023 04:12

The Yamaha R125 is not going to launch in India for the following reasons: (i) There won't be enough buyers. Not many people will be interested in buying a Yamaha R125 when a Pulsar 220F is available at the same or a lesser price. (ii) Globally, the 125cc bikes are learner motorcycles.

Can it handle both city traffic and open roads?
18 September 2023 04:12

The Yamaha R125 motorcycle is adaptable in both urban and open-road areas. Its handling techniques make it easy to drive through over-occupied streets, and it's equally enjoyable on the open road.

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.
