Updated for 2020, the R1’s incredible crossplane crank engine now combines with new, more aerodynamic M1-derived bodywork to deliver ultimate performance. Next-generation LED headlights and restyled LED position lights reinforce Yamaha’s flagship model’s intimidating presence, and new Brake Control and Engine Brake Management systems join a host of other technologies to keep you in full control. Each of the seven adjustable electronic rider aids can be fine-tuned in seconds via the YRC system.
