An ego is a wonderful thing to crush. From the moment the R1 was unleashed upon the unsuspecting sport bike world four years ago, it’s been painfully obvious … to the competition, that is … that no other open-class machine holds a candle to this incredible combination of liter-bike power, 600cc-spec handling and drop-dead gorgeous styling.
THE BACK-TO-BACK SUPERBIKE CHAMPION With back-to-back Superbike Championships and packed with MotoGP technology, the 2013 YZF-R1 is the most advanced Open Class sportbike on the planet. And unlike anything else. That's because it's the world's first production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Resulting in incredibly smooth power delivery and outrageous torque for a rush like never before. From the track to the street, the R1 truly is "the 1".
