2021 YAMAHA YZF-R1 - Blue 1:18 Scale

Yamaha YZF-R1

Yamaha officially unveiled a new generation of R1 in 2015. Similar to the contemporary YZR M1. Yamaha claimed a wet weight of 199 kg (439 lb). Magnesium wheels are now standard, and information is presented to the rider through a user-customizable thin-film display.

The new bike has an electronics package that includes a sophisticated Traction Control System (TCS), a Slide Control System (SCS), an anti-wheelie Lift Control System (LIF), linked antilock brakes, a Launch Control System (LCS), a Quick Shift System (QSS), and selectable power modes. The Slide Control System on the R1 is the first on a production motorcycle. Information is fed to the bike through a six-axis inertial measurement unit and other sensors over 100 times a second.[17] Power delivery is tapered through throttle valve manipulation and ignition and fuel cuts.

In 2017 Yahama presented the next generation of R1 and R1M. They have a better Quick Shift System, an updated Lift (wheelie) Control System and fulfill Euro 4 requirements. The R1M got a new Öhlins Electronic Racing Suspension
