Motorcycle specifications YamahaYZF-R1M 1000 2019 When R1 wants to give more!!!

The Yamaha R1M has become a vintage model. Its first vintage, the 2015, was such a success that its limited production run evolved into a perennial endowment. Each year sees its share of R1Ms, albeit in very small numbers. The machine is eagerly awaited, and rightly so, as its efficiency places it among the best sports bikes of the moment.

As in previous years, the design has been very finely updated - it retains the metallic, racing feel of its color scheme, while adapting to the seasons. Technical changes are to the credit of the 2018 evo, concerning the electronic parts. As standard, the shifter could only be used for upshifting. Since then, it has also worked on downshifts, with a choice of 2 settings: mode 1 for greater speed and performance - mode 2 for more fluidity. It's about time we did something better, as our (mainly European) competitors have been offering Up&Down for some time now.

One of the R1M's special features and major added values is its Öhlins suspension. Semi-active, please! An update upgrades them to the Smart EC 2 ERS version. This new system is both more intelligent and more dynamic, with new support functions for braking, acceleration and cornering. Thus equipped, the R1M "évo" offers more grip at the front, more traction and improved stability.
As well as touching up the electronics, the engineers took the opportunity to revise the engine mapping and improve the effectiveness of the anti-wheeling system.

Reservations for this new vintage opened on October 29, 2018, at this address: https: //r1m.yamaha-motor.eu/

yamaha R1-M Genesis:

with its big 2015 evolution, the R1 set many of its competitors straight. The engine retains the cross-plane timing but delivers 200 horsepower. Yamaha recalibrated it slightly in 2017 to meet Euro4 standards. 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 one unmistakable feature: the gold color of the suspension lines.
The Öhlins ERS 2 system works with the 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 always knows what dynamic situation the bike is in, and can therefore determine the optimum compression and rebound damping for the suspensions. 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 (YRE). Participants will enjoy a rich and constructive program, with machine tuning workshops and pre-race briefings to ensure that R1M customers feel confident in using their machine and benefiting from all its advantages. Following these briefings, all riders will be able to exploit the R1M's state-of-the-art electronics during several on-track sessions supervised by current and former racing glories.

During the course, they can also talk to Yamaha Racing experts on technical subjects. Tire, suspension and clothing technicians will also be on hand to offer advice.

with this R1M, track racers are in for a treat. The most hardened will regret not having an extra dose of horsepower, to further emphasize its exclusivity. 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 201 kilos? A near-track grinder, Öhlins steering, 200 hp, titanium connecting rods, shifter, traction control backed up by rear tire slip control, anti-wheeling, off-track assistance mode, fullaBS, 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?
