Intro to YZF® Sport Bikes

Ever since the first generation debuted in 1998, the Yamaha® YZF® lineup has played an important role in the evolution of racing bikes. The revolutionary ‘stacked gearbox’ engine layout of the YZF-R1® set a new standard for the industry, allowing for a more compact frame for reduced wind resistance, with a shorter wheelbase and an optimized center of gravity. The result is a lightning-fast bike that handles easily at high speeds.

Yamaha has continued improving these models with each new generation to stay ahead of their competitors. The latest YZF sport bikes stand on the cutting edge of sport bike technology, and their sleek and sporty designs turn every trip around the racetrack into a fashion show. Let’s take a look at each model in the current YZF lineup to see what makes them unique.

The YZF-R3®

The YZF-R3® is the perfect entry-level sport bike. This model packs in plenty of power for casual riders and beginners, with a 321cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that fits neatly into a lightweight diamond-type steel frame. Nimble and easy to handle, the YZF-R3 can transform your daily commute into a thrill ride.

The YZF-R6®

The YZF-R6® is the next step up in power and performance. This middle-grade sport bike with a Championship winning track record has been in continued development since 1999. The YZF-R6 features a 599cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission with a slipper clutch for the ultimate sense of control.

The YZF-R1®

The YZF-R1® is one of the most powerful and sought-after sport bikes on today’s market. This model is designed for advanced riders with the necessary skills to harness its vast potential. The YZF-R1 boasts a 99cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine, six-speed manual transmission, a cross-plane crankshaft, and revolutionary electronics like the six-axis inertial measurement unit.

The YZF-R1M®

The YZF-R1M® is a variation on the YZF-R1® that takes things up a notch with aerodynamic carbon-fiber bodywork, Öhlins® Electronic Racing Suspension, a brake control system, and a three-mode engine brake management system. This impressive list of features may well add up to the best racing bike money can buy.
