YAMAHAYZF-R1M 2015 - 2015

　　In 2015, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the YZF-R1M, a production superbike that got as close as it could to a street-legal M1 MotoGP bike, with an additional range of highly sophisticated components such as the Ohlins Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS), upper fairing, side fairings, and front fender made of carbon fiber, and a Communication Control Unit (CCU) with GPS for collecting ride data.

　　The bike featured specially developed tires as a result of a collaboration between Yamaha and Bridgestone with both tires made of a special compound that optimized performance characteristics that provided strong levels of grip and lean angles.

　　In addition, the bike featured the most advanced MotoGP-inspired electronics package ever used by a supersport machine that offered full performance, great comfort, control, and easy operation. Also, it featured an advanced aluminum Deltabox frame that used the engine as a stressed member and provided optimum longitudinal, lateral, and torsional balance.

　　In the power department, the 2015 YZF-R1M took its thrust from a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 200 hp at 13,500 rpm and 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) of torque at 11,500 rpm.

　　As for braking purposes, the model packed two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single 220 mm disc with a single-cylinder caliper on the rear wheel topped by AntiLock Braking System (ABS).
