What sets the YZF-R1M apart from the standard YZF-R1?

The Yamaha YZF-R1M is distinguished from the standard YZF-R1 primarily through its advanced suspension system, featuring Öhlins Electronic Racing Suspension with a 43mm Öhlins NPX fork and an Öhlins TTX36 shock. This system utilizes a pressurized nitrogen chamber to eliminate oil cavitation, providing consistent damping and superior ride quality. The R1M also includes full carbon fiber bodywork, a polished aluminum swingarm, and a unique serial-numbered badge. Additionally, the R1M comes with wireless communication via an app to track performance, and it has a slightly wider rear tire . These enhancements, along with the same powerful 998cc engine and extensive electronic aids such as power modes, traction control, and launch control, make the R1M a more premium and performance-oriented option compared to the standard R1.
