The Yamaha YZF-R1 is a sport motorcycle that Yamaha introduced in 1998, built around a compact, high revving inline four engine and a chassis designed to concentrate mass tightly around the machine's center of gravity for sharper handling. Its combination of light weight and high power output set a new benchmark among production superbikes on its debut, and it has remained one of Yamaha's flagship sport motorcycles across successive generations since.
