 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M unveiled Internationally

-Gets carbon fibre winglets

-Updated KYB front fork

-Powered by a 998cc, 200bhp engine

The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M have been unveiled in International markets. The superbike has received a few yet notable changes, both visually and mechanically.

In terms of design, the YZF-R1 and R1M look aggressive and striking. However, what takes the aggression a few steps higher are the new carbon fibre winglets. Yamaha says that these winglets are inspired by the Yamaha MotoGP factory team machine, the YZR-M1. Besides adding to the aesthetics of the bike, these winglets also provide aerodynamic downforce, both in the corners and while accelerating hard while exiting out of corners.

The next change is the updated KYB front fork on the YZF-R1. The fork is said to offer better road feel and chassis stability. As was the case before the suspension is fully adjustable. The R1M, on the other hand, continues to use higher-spec Ohlins suspension.

One big upgrade, that a lot of R1 riders have been wishing for is improved braking performance. For 2025, their wish has been granted with the introduction of new Brembo Stylema callipers as well as a Brembo master cylinder. These new brakes will improve bite and feel, says Yamaha.

Powering the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M is a 998cc, inline-four-cylinder engine with a crossplane crankshaft. It makes 200bhp and 113Nm, and is paired with a six-speed gearbox.

As expected, the bike is loaded with electronics including IMU-assisted cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control and ride modes.

The Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M don’t conform to Euro 5 emission norms and hence are sold as a track-only motorcycle in European markets. Whereas in the US, where emission norms a not as stringent, they are road-legal. When it comes to India, these bikes don’t conform to the BS6.2 norms yet. Nevertheless, Yamaha should think of selling the R1 here as a track-only bike.
