Yamaha YZF - R1 since its launch in 1998, has more than 20 years, the introduction of the R1 astonishing is, super strong performance and in view of the road design clever manipulation of the handle, with fine quality of Japanese assembly, to the second round performance fans all over the world are crazy, also let YZF - R1 in the past two decades, Become a public upgrade imitation race level in the target car.


Released in 1998, YZF-R1 became the representative of Japanese upgraded imitation racing car with dexterous handling performance and fine assembly quality at that time.


Yamaha YZF-R1 has been on the market since 2015, and will soon enter its fourth year.

The current model YZF-R1, which debuted in 2015, created a visual effect similar to that of a MotoGP factory car with hidden headlights.


According to foreign media dig, yamaha may give more leading technology of the MotoGP, like a reverse design of crankshaft, as the name suggests adopting reverse crankshaft and tire rotation in the opposite direction, to offset any spiral effect, to get better speed and more apt to ability, in addition to inhibit solitary round, Reduce the advantages of electronic control system intervention.


In addition to the reverse crankshaft, Yamaha may also use a variable valve timing system on the revamped YZF-R1, similar to the system found on European knockoffs such as the Desmodromic valve system found on Ducati's commercial and GP cars. And Swiftcam on BMW's S1000RR at last year's Milan show; In addition to European car manufacturers, Japanese brands such as Honda and Suzuki have also issued similar variable valve timing patents.
