2 All images depict professional riders on a closed course. R-Series Ignite the fire inside Yamaha s R-series motorcycles are legends of the supersport world, created for riders who really know where they re at, riders who know that supersport performance means more than just an extreme spec sheet. The Art of Engineering concept we use to create our YZF-R1 and our YZF-R6 is about much more than mere numbers, because Yamaha engineers design machines that get the best out of every rider and the best out of every corner for an unforgettable experience every time.

3 R-Series Genius engineering Yamaha R-series motorcycles have been astonishing supersport riders since Our engineers and designers have worked ceaselessly to improve the breed and refine the DNA, undertaking endless development work on road and track, utilising new technologies that allow you to fully exploit the stunning performance of the YZF-R1 and YZF-R6, because that s real supersport riding. R-series engineering it s all about the latest technology, cutting-edge specs and stunning design. All images depict professional riders on a closed course.

4 All images depict professional riders on a closed course. R-Series State-of-the-art technology Yamaha has always been at the cutting edge of supersport technology. To achieve Art of Engineering we now apply our state-of-the-art electronic control technology concept G.E.N.I.C.H.* to our supersport machines to increase performance and enhance man-machine interaction with a never-before-possible quality of feedback to rider input. G.E.N.I.C.H. created YCC-T (Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle), the astounding throttle system first used on the R6 and now on the R1, and now YCC-I (Yamaha chip-controlled intake air funnels) to boost total performance on the latest R1. * G.E.N.I.C.H.

5 All images depict professional riders on a closed course. R-Series M1 inspired technology Yamaha has a reputation for enjoying the white heat of competition. We love racing because it allows us to rapidly develop new technology and showcase that technology to you. Our YZR-M1 has achieved great success in MotoGP the world s most technically challenging bike race series developing and simultaneously proving technology that is then applied to our R-Series supersport bikes. For example, the YZF-R1 uses M1- inspired know-how like four-valve technology and both the YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 use YCC-T and MotoGP chassis geometry for remarkable control on both road and track. Valentino Rossi

6 Riding fast, riding well is all about man-machine interaction. That s why the R1 s all-new frame improves cornering by responding exactly to rider input on corner entry and improves rear-wheel force for extra traction when accelerating out of tight corners. That is man-machine interaction. YZF-R1 Man-machine interaction All images depict professional riders on a closed course.

7 Form follows function with the YZF-R1, so you see the power even before you feel it. It is a high-performance sculpture, incorporating aerodynamic lessons from MotoGP and F1, so it feeds your senses even when you re just looking at it. YZF-R1 See the power, feel the power

9 The R1 s design is a visual expression of the bike s awesome power. The sculpted bodywork doesn t just look superb, the recessed air ducts also boost performance by increasing intake air flow to the fuel injection system and the fairing s layered sides create negative pressure to draw hot air away from the engine and improve cooling. Of course, the R1 s beauty isn t just skin deep. Like every R1 before it, this latest model has been carefully honed for breathtaking performance on racetrack and twisty roads. YZF-R1 Seeing is believing

10 YZF-R1 Art of engineering control The 2007 R1 features a new design Deltabox frame, upside-down truss-style swingarm, superbly damped forks and rear shock with two-way compression damping enabling accurate set-up for superb control through high-speed corners and during corner exits. The R1 also has a slipper clutch for smoother corner entries and awesome six-pot front brakes too. And, the 16-valve engine makes 180 horsepower at 12,500 rpm and that s without direct air induction.

12 YZF-R1 Art of engineering inside Our Art of Engineering means we know the relationship between man and machine isn t merely mechanical, it is also emotional. So the fact that the new R1 has more horsepower right across the rev range is only half the story, even more important is how that power feels. That s why our engineers have used latest electronics technology YCC-T (Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle) and YCC-I (Yamaha Chip-Controlled Intake) to give you total control, with brilliantly linear power delivery and superb transitional power characteristics. YCC-T outperforms conventional carburettor/injection systems because it allows our engineers to design an excellent torque curve, and because it always delivers the optimum fuel/air mix for stunning response, so you get perfect acceleration whatever revs and throttle opening you re at. YCC-I, the biking world s first electronics-controlled motor-driven variable intake funnel system, ensures ideal power and torque at all rpm by adjusting funnel length to perfectly suit throttle opening and rpm.

18 YZF-R6 Cuts like a knife Supersport bikes don t come any sharper than this. The R6 s aerodynamics have been honed to perfection for superb performance and breathtaking looks. Deep air intakes deliver maximum clean air to the FI system for massive, high-rpm power, while superior air management draws hot air away from the engine for improved performance. The R6 s styling also emphasises the bike s superior mass-centralisation, a concept pursued by Yamaha s engineers to achieve the kind of light, superreactive handling that racers demand.

19 YZF-R6 MotoGP inspired technology We have incorporated many of the lessons learned from our winning MotoGP riders into the YZF-R6. So this supersport bike is packed with race tech and 130 horsepower at 14,500 rpm. The R6 s revolutionary YCC-T computerenhanced throttle allows us to design the perfect torque curve and give you precision throttle control that s just not possible with conventional carburettor/ injection systems. Its radical tri-axis engine architecture and straight-frame concept delivers lightning-quick steering, super-responsive handling, exceptional stability and masses of feedback for a supremely balanced, winning ride. The R6 also gets a MotoGP-developed slipper clutch for smoother corner entries, midship exhaust with titanium silencer and EXUP for improved mass centralisation, 41 mm upside-down front forks and bottom-link rear shock (with two-way compression damping adjustment) and 310 mm front discs with radially-mounted calipers.
