Yamaha YZF-R1 60th Anniversary Edition out!

September 19, 2015 by Jim Gorde Leave a Comment

Yamaha YZF-R1 60th Anniversary 1 web

Yamaha Motor have released a special 60th Anniversary Limited Edition YZF-R1 in iconic Yellow/Black livery with speed-block graphics.

The YZF-R1 was the first production litre-bike to break the 1,000-PS/tonne power-to-weight barrier back in 2004, and with Yamaha completing 60 years, what better way to commemorate the occasion than to launch a special edition of their flagship supersports bike.

The YZF-R1 60th Anniversary receives a special visual treatment for a stunning presence which is just as unique. Under the skin is the same potent 998-cc in-line four motor making 200 PS. The 199-kg superbike is focused and determined and that makes it so special. Keeping things in checks are cutting-edge electronic aids, including the 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit, that constantly senses chassis motion in 3D, allowing better control over traction, slides, front-wheel lift, braking and, of course, launches. Less worry. More speed.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
