Motorcycle specifications YamahaYZF-R1M 1000 2016 When R1 wants to give more!!!

The R1-M was so popular when it was unveiled that all limited-edition models were snapped up in record time... even before the price was known. This success convinced Yamaha to produce a new series for 2016. As with the previous model, orders will be placed via an online registration system, starting on October 1, 2015.

Why such a craze for this "super R1"?!? Ducati has its S versions; Yamaha an M version. In Italy, many models have benefited from prestigious declinations. The standard R1 is now joined by the R1M, dedicated to improving its dynamic performance.

with its major evolution in 2015, the R1 has set many of its rivals straight. The engine retains its cross-plane timing, but delivers 200 hp. The Deltabox frame is new, as are the swingarm, lightened rims, M1-style design and on-board digital technology. In this M version, there's an unmistakable feature: the gold color of the suspension lines.
The R1M is equipped with Öhlins suspension. But not just any suspension: an ERS-controlled version. The R1 is equipped with a 6-axis inertial sensor, which uses the data received to adjust the fork and shock absorber in real time. As the data is checked 125 times per second, the control unit is constantly aware of the bike's dynamic situation, and can therefore determine the optimum compression and rebound damping for the suspension. The servomotors then act directly on the Swedish components.

In keeping with its exclusive racing style, the R1M is clad in carbon (full fairing, front mudguard and seat cover). Some parts are covered with a transparent film to clearly identify the nobility of the material, while others are painted.
Another special feature is the M's ultra-polished aluminum fuel tank. Yamaha wanted to accentuate the contrast with the black frame by applying the same ultrapolished treatment to the swingarm.

as you'd expect, the R1M isn't for everyone. Its equipment, potential and price will keep it in the hands of experienced riders. Already ready to race, the R1M comes with a wider rear tire than the R1, a 200. The tyres chosen, which are almost slicks, have been specially designed by Bridgestone for this model.
It invites you to slam on a time right away, and to have a lot of fun on the track. And it records everything you do. Once the session is over, you can connect with the on-board control unit, fitted as standard on this M, to observe and analyze your race data, such as lap times, speed, throttle opening, GPS tracking, lean angle, etc...

R1M owners will receive an invitation to the Yamaha Racing Experience: The YRE will take place at major European racing circuits in spring 2016. For a day and a half, participants will be able to meet prestigious guests and take part in riding sessions, accompanied by top-level instructors. Yamaha technicians will also be on hand to offer advice on preparation for professional competitions.

with this R1M, track and field riders are in for a treat. Bleeding hearts will regret not having a little extra horsepower, to further emphasize the exclusive aspect. And we wonder why this version, with its top-of-the-range suspension and carbon bodywork, weighs a kilo more than the standard R1?
Let's face it: what's in those 200 kilos? A quasi-track grinder, Öhlins steering, 200 horsepower, titanium connecting rods, shifter, traction control assisted by rear tire slip control, anti-wheeling, brake assist mode, integral ABS, 4 cartridges for the front and rear wheels, and a rear brake.aBS, 4 maps and 4 driving modes, a full digital instrument panel with two displays (road or track), telemetry and race tires. Makes you wonder if it's the rider who wants the R1, or the other way around?
