As we mentioned earlier, the R1M is based on the R1 litre class bike. Powering this superbike is a 998cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, forward-inclined parallel 4-cylinder, 4-valves engine. The engine puts out 200.0PS @ 13,500 rpm peak power and a peak torque of 112.4 Nm @ 11,500 rpm. The bike features an Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS) which captures data from a 6-axis IMU, which enables the Suspension Control Unit (SCU) to make adjustments to the fork and shock settings. The R1M also enables the riders to record data such as lap times, speed, throttle position, GPS tracking, lean angle and more through a CCU or Communication Control Unit. The Yamaha R1M features lightweight Carbon fibre bodywork, compact LED light up front and twin pilot lamps.
