A perfect example of the mechanical beauty that flows when form is set free to truly express function. The fourth generation “R1” supersport machine. It begins with a third-generation, 998cc, liquid-cooled, short-stroke, 20-valve, in-line four-cylinder engine designed to make 180 horsepower power at a stratospheric 12,500 rpm. The shorter cylinder head is re-angled farther forward to 40 degrees, far enough forward to allow the main frame spars to go over the engine instead of around it. That straighter load path makes the Deltabox V frame massively strong, even as it makes the bike narrow to better fit the rider. Together with its light, strong and long Controlled Fill die cast truss swingarm, all that power is deployed to the pavement with the help of a fully adjustable piggyback shock absorber. These are just some of the features that enable the 2005 Yamaha YZF-R1 to blow the dust out of your synapses every time you hop on and twist the throttle.
