Yamaha’s ongoing love affair with Deltabox frame continues and the YZF-R1 features a beefy frame and swingarm giving spectacular handling with just the right amount of flex for comfort and maneuverability. Just ask Loris Capirossi - Like Honda, Yamaha use MotoGP as a testing bed and this model is packed with features tested on the track: YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle system; the world’s first electronic variable-length intake funnel system; Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch; and six-piston radial-mount front brake calipers and 310mm discs supplying the sort of stopping power a bike of this speed needs.
