The R1 looks ultra-sharp with its M1-style cowling and fully integrated fairing that give the bike an aggressive race-developed profile. By enabling you to tuck in close to the bike, this lightweight bodywork achieves the highest levels of aerodynamic efficiency for outstanding high-speed performance

A key feature of the R1’s 4-cylinder 998cc engine is the crossplane crankshaft with its uneven 270°-180°-90°-180° firing sequence that delivers strong, linear torque.

Featuring a high-efficiency intake system along with specially designed finger-follower rocker arms, this race-developed engine delivers remarkable high rpm performance.

The R1 is equipped with high-specification 43 mm KYB forks featuring laminated type damping valves.

Together with the advanced rear shock, this suspension system gives you a sensation of being connected directly to the road surface, making the R1 feel as if it is an extension of your body.

Technology is transforming the way we ride, and the R1 features no fewer than seven electronic control systems.

Featuring two modes, the Brake Control (BC) system analyses data, such as lean angle and slipping acceleration and modulates hydraulic brake pressure, to prevent wheel lock ups.

Control is everything when you’re on the road or track, and the Engine Brake Management (EBM) system allows you to adjust engine braking force.

Using data from various sensors, the EBM adjusts throttle opening, ignition timing and fuel injection volume to give you a choice of three engine braking modes to suit different riding situations.
