Our take on this /// Verdict

The 2020 Yamaha YZF-R1M is a masterpiece of engineering, offering a riding experience that is both exhilarating and refined. On the track, this bike shines with its revised CP4 engine, producing around 200 horsepower and delivering smooth, precise power delivery thanks to the cable-free ride-by-wire system. The new Öhlins Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS) on the R1M is a game-changer, providing handling that is sharp and responsive, making it feel almost magical in various riding conditions. The updated brake system with new brake pads ensures precise and powerful braking without any fade. The electronic aids, including traction control, slide control, and launch control, integrate seamlessly into your riding style, enhancing both safety and performance. While the price increase is substantial, the improvements make it well worth the investment for serious track enthusiasts.

Price

In India, the 2020 Yamaha YZF-R1M comes with a significant price tag. The ex-showroom price for the R1M is typically around 26.5 lakhs, although this can vary slightly depending on the region and any local taxes. On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other costs, can push the total to approximately 30-32 lakhs. This premium is largely due to the advanced electronic Öhlins suspension and other high-end features that set the R1M apart from its base model counterpart. For those who are serious about track performance and want the best of the best, the R1Ms price is justified by its unparalleled capabilities.

Latest Updates

Tuesday, 07 July 2020 09:02 PM The 2020 Yamaha YZF-R1M features a significantly updated engine to comply with Euro 5 emissions regulations, including a new cylinder head, valves, cams, and throttle bodies. Despite the additions of four catalytic converters, the bike retains its peak power of 197bhp. I think this balance between performance and compliance is impressive, showing Yamahas commitment to both power and environmental standards.

Thursday, 02 July 2020 07:58 PM The R1M boasts advanced suspension with Öhlins gas-charged NPX-EC forks and a TTX36 shock, both of which are semi-active. This setup reduces cavitation of the oil, improving damping efficiency under hard track use. I believe this technology makes the R1M one of the smoothest and most responsive bikes on the track.

Wednesday, 17 July 2019 08:05 AM Yamaha has redesigned the fairing of the R1M to enhance aerodynamics, reducing wind resistance by 5.3% and providing better airflow control at high speeds. The new design also includes LED dual headlights, emphasizing the next-generation R design. I think the new fairing not only looks sleek but also provides a significant performance boost.

Wednesday, 17 July 2019 07:09 AM The 2020 Yamaha YZF-R1M includes several electronic control systems, such as Engine Brake Management (EBM) and Brake Control (BC), which support the rider according to their preferences and riding conditions. The bike also features a revised TFT 4.2” instrument panel to reflect these new control systems. I believe these additions make the R1M highly adaptable and rider-friendly.

Wednesday, 17 July 2019 04:28 PM The R1M comes with a range of premium features, including a carbon fiber fairing, a polished tank, and wireless communications via an app to assess track performance. The bike is priced at £21,999, positioning it among top-tier supersport motorcycles. I think the price is justified given the high-spec components and advanced technology.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 02:59 AM When it comes to mileage, the 2020 Yamaha YZF-R1M is not designed for fuel efficiency but for raw performance. In real-world conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 10-15 kml, depending on how aggressively you ride. On the track, this figure can drop significantly due to the high-revving nature of the engine. However, for a bike of this caliber, fuel efficiency is often a secondary concern. What matters most is the exhilarating ride and the confidence-inspiring handling it offers. If youre looking for a bike to commute or tour, the R1M might not be the best choice, but for track days and high-performance riding, its hard to beat.
