WHAT YAMAHA HAS
TO SAY ABOUT THE R1:
Source: Yamaha Motors
Key Features:
- The R1 is the
culmination of 50 years of racing experience, combining tremendous
power with light weight and excellent handling.
- Newly retuned
Deltabox V® frame, revised forks and a 20mm longer swingarm take
R1 handling to the next level.
- New intake port
modifications increase output by three horses—to 183 at 12,500
rpm (with ram-air).
- 50th Anniversary
Special Edition model celebrates Yamaha racing heritage with special
badging and classic black and yellow livery.
New for 2006:
- GP tech trickles
down: Revised rigidity of the main frame between the engine mounts
and steering head, a new, more rigid lower triple clamp, a 20mm-longer
swingarm produce the best-handling R1 ever.
- Shorter valve
guides and other revisions increase intake flow and reduce friction,
for more power.
- Gold-colored
forks look great.
- Revised clutch
boss provides increased oil flow for excellent durability.
Engine:
- Short-stroke
998cc DOHC, 20-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine now
produces 183 horsepower (with Ram-Air) at an amazing 12,500 rpm.
- Dual-valve fuel
injection system uses motor-driven secondary throttle valves and 32-bit
ECU for super-responsive, instantaneous power delivery.
- Two-piece ergonomically
designed fuel tank carries fuel in the rear section, for good centralization
of mass, while the front half contains a Ram-Air-fed airbox for increased
power.
- Lay-down design
cylinder head—40 degrees forward— optimizes weight distribution,
straightens intake tracts for improved cylinder filling, and allows
frame to pass over instead of around the engine for great strength
and a narrow chassis.
- Closed-deck cylinder
block increases strength and allows a narrow engine in spite of big,
77mm bores.
- Narrow-angle
five-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient 12.4:1 compression
ratio. Big valves and high-lift cams flow plenty of air.
- Carburized connecting
rods with fractured big ends produce a quick-revving engine with excellent
high-rpm durability.
- High silicon-content
ceramic-composite cylinder sleeves ensure great heat dissipation for
consistent power delivery and reduced friction.
- Strong, yet lightweight
clutch and close-ratio six-speed gearbox with triangulated shaft layout
for great strength, compactness, and quicker acceleration.
- Titanium underseat
exhaust system (with stainless steel midpipe and catalyst) contains
a titanium EXUP valve for a broad, seamless powerband.
- High-efficiency
curved radiator and an aluminum liquidcooled oil cooler maintain stable
operating temperature.
- Direct ignition
coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and highoutput magneto deliver extremely
accurate, reliable firing.
- AC generator
behind cylinder block produces a narrow engine with excellent cornering
clearance.

OUR TAKE ON THE
2006 YAMAHA R1: The R1 yet again defines the supersport class. After
its introduction to the market in 1998, the R1 has consistantly refined
itself becoming more lightweight and agile, yet increasing horsepower.
The new R1 is also sculpted into a work of art, with its dual beam headlights
and three availible color schemes. Look to the R1 to dominate the track
this year.
