YZF-R1-50TH ANNIVERSARY A machine developed from a solid foundation of race winning motorcycles and designed to be the best performing Superbike in the twisties.
The focus on this new model is on increased engine and cornering performance. To achieve this goal, Yamaha’s engineers have boosted power by maximising intake and exhaust efficiency and optimised the frame balance by altering the main frame and lengthening the swingarm.
The new R1 maintains the same liquid-cooled 4-stroke, DOHC, 40 degree forward-inclined, 4-cylinder and 5-valve fuel injected engine format. But a new-design combustion chamber, high-lift cams and 12.4:1 compression ratio has increased intake/exhaust efficiency for a significant boost in power output. A smoother intake port shape has also increased intake air volume. Max power has been raised by 3bhp to 175bhp at the same rpm level of 12,500 rpm (or 183bhp with ram air effect)
The Deltabox V frame has been developed using structural analysis and repeated testing based on the same concept as the MotoGP competition model YZR-M1. For 2006 the frame has been further revised to achieve optimum rigidity balance for improved handling.
The upper portion of the main frame, the engine mount bracket and rear arm bracket specs have been changed to optimise connection rigidity, while the rigidity and shape of the under-bracket for the front fork and the rigidity balance of the fork’s outer tube have also been revised. The combined effect of these changes is to provide the ideal balance for improved cornering performance. These updates also contribute to gentler acceleration/deceleration characteristics for excellent secondary steering qualities.
The upside down aluminium swingarm maintains the same controlled fill structure but is 16mm longer. The resulting increase in distance between the pivot and the rear axle contributes to reduced interference to the chassis resulting from chain tension during cornering while also providing a good rigidity balance for increased traction. This further improves the YZF-R1’s excellent secondary steering performance. The longer rear arm also increases the chain adjustment range and the selection of tyre specs that can be used.
This YZF-R1 created a sensation in the racing world in 2004 by winning the championship titles in the Superstock class of the AMA road racing championships in the USA, the European Superstock Championship and the FIM World Endurance Championship, as well as winning the Isle of Man TT and turning in top performances in the All Japan championships. These stock race achievements are solid proof of the outstanding performance of the YZF-R1 in the Superbike category.
Building on this awesome potential, the new 2006 model YZF-R1 is set to continue its winning ways… and winning customers who appreciate a motorcycle that performs as sweetly on winding public roads as it does trackside.
