YAMAHA has unveiled their R1 for the year 2015, they have fired all canons in the latest installment of the world superbike wars with the new R1, a bike that Yamaha is calling "the most MotoGP inspired bike ever." There has been a lot of changes made to the overall look of the bike; new aerodynamics, more aggressive styling and genuinely new look has been given to the lights. The bike produces a massive 200HP and wet weight is just under 200kg, quite an impressive power to weight ration. Some cool features of the bike include:
- Adjustable and user-programmable power delivery modes
- Lean angle sensitive traction control
- 4-stage slide control to manage powerslides
- 4-stage lift control to dial in your maximum wheelie settings
- Full-throttle launch control (one of the most terrifying experiences you can have on two wheels)
- Quickshifter for upshifts only
- Slipper clutch to keep the rear from losing traction on high-rpm downshifts
- Linked ABS braking designed to help keep the rear down under hard braking
- Adjustable front forks
