Description
Unleash pure performance with the 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1M, the apex of Yamaha’s supersport pedigree—a machine engineered to dominate both track and asphalt with uncompromising precision and race-bred technology.
At its heart lies the 998 cc CP4 crossplane crankshaft engine, a masterpiece that delivers linear torque and an intoxicating connection between rider input and output—a true MotoGP-inspired powerhouse. Titanium connecting rods, titanium intake valves, and forged pistons reduce reciprocating mass, allowing for sharper revs, snappier response, and explosive acceleration. Yamaha’s YCC-I® (chip-controlled intake) and lightweight titanium muffler further refine power delivery while keeping mass centralized.
The R1M isn't just about brute force—it turns that power into usable precision thanks to a race-class electronics suite. A six-axis IMU powers systems like lean-sensitive TCS (Traction Control), Slide Control System, Lift Control, Engine Brake Management, Brake Control, and more. An advanced Quick Shift System lets you flick through gears with clutchless upshifts; an assist/slipper clutch gives confidence when decelerating or downshifting hard.
Handling and feel are taken to the next level with Yamaha’s Öhlins Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS). The front and rear suspension adapt in real-time—measuring lean, deceleration, braking, vehicle speed—to adjust damping for optimal grip and control whether carving corners or braking into apexes. Add to that full carbon fiber bodywork, carbon winglets designed in the crucible of MotoGP, a polished aluminium swingarm, and the exclusive serial-numbered R1M badge—visually, it’s unmistakable.
Ergonomics are track-focused but crafted for control and confidence: slim aluminium Deltabox frame, premium Bridgestone RS11 tyres, radial-mounted front Brembo calipers with braided lines, a full-colour TFT display, and full LED lighting complete the experience. Every detail from seat texture to aerodynamics is tuned for performance.
The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1M doesn’t ask for compromises—it demands commitment. For riders who seek the sharpest edges of precision, power, and technology, this is the machine that defines what a flagship superbike can be.
