At The Motorcycle Show Held In Milan, Italy, In September Of 1997, The Yamaha Yzf-R1 Supersport Motorcycle Made Its Debut. Sporting A Powerful 1000Cc Engine, It Has The Compact Construction Of A 400Cc Bike. The Yzf-R1 Was Developed For Maximum Possible Cornering Ability In A Production Motorcycle. With A 1000Cc Water-Cooled, Four Stroke, 4-Cylinder, 5-Valve Engine And Adopting A Redesigned Exup Exhaust System, It Pumps Out 150Hp Of High-Intensity Power. Subtle Throttle Control Makes Both Superb Acceleration Response And Rhythmic Cornering A Reality. The Deltabox Ii Aluminum Frame Was Sought After Not Only For Its Rigidity, But More So For Its Moderate Flexibility During Tight Cornering. With The Addition Of A Long Span Aluminum Swing Arm, High Control Ability Has Been Achieved. By Adopting An Upside-Down Front Fork, Stroke Distance Has Been Increased And Traction Heightened. Boasting A Sharp Form With Multi-Reflector Lights, The Yzf-R1 Has Been Given An Unprecedented Style. From The Contact Points Between The Rider And Motorcycle, Right Down To The Material Used In The Seat And Tank, The Yzf-R1 Has Been Thoroughly Studied. Of Course, The Abundance Of High Precision And High Quality Parts Goes Without Saying. Designed To Cruise At High Speeds On Winding Roads, The Yzf-R1 Shatters Expectations About Large Exhaust Engine Motorcycles. Yamaha Has Expanded The Possibilities Of A 1000Cc Bike.
