Yamaha’s 2020 YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M are now arriving on dealership floors across Australia. Just 2.4s difference on a bike that costs 6-times less, and that you or I could buy.Stability and grip thanks to the Ohlins/Bridgestone partnership were noticeably brilliant, it was like riding a completely different bike. The 2020 R1M also receives a new carbon fibre tail cowl to accompany the existing carbon fibre passenger seat cowl.New lightweight, compact LED twin headlights optimise illumination for both the low and high beam, and combine with the redesigned body styling to create a new front face symbolising the next-generation of R-Series design.The new 2020 YZF-R1M will be available in limited quantities in a Carbon Fibre colour scheme, while the new 2020 YZF-R1 will be available in Team Yamaha Blue and Raven colour. De aerodynamische efficiëntie wordt hierdoor met meer dan vijf procent verhoogd, waardoor de prestaties bij hoge snelheden aanzienlijk toenemen aldus Yamaha. Then you release the brake, drop your elbows to be parallel with the tank, steer, and hang on for dear life as you accelerate out of the corner. 150 BHP on a bike was rare then, that amount of power would’ve been impressive on a car. Die moeten zorgen voor een geoptimaliseerde kleplichthoogte en een stabielere klepopening en klepsluiting bij hoge toerentallen, wat op zijn beurt weer zorgt voor een soepelere en efficiëntere werking van de motor.Een van de belangrijkste veranderingen is volgens Yamaha de nieuw ontworpen inlaatconstructie met een nieuw ontworpen cilinderkop en verplaatste injectoren die de motorprestaties optimaliseren. But, from other angles it doesn’t look like a £16k motorcycle. Yamaha’s 2020 YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M are now arriving on dealership floors across Australia. Een andere nieuwe toevoeging is het Engine Brake Management (EBM). De oliepomp maakt gebruik van een 10% compactere rotor.

We averaged 38mpg in our time with the R1 – that’s very good for a 197bhp sports bike that encourages you to be snappy with the throttle.The riding experience is either awesome or frustrating depending on how far you have to ride in traffic to get to your favourite roads and, obviously, only a sadist would make anyone ride pillion and only a masochist would agree to it. An even quicker change (i.e.
Yamaha zal speciaal voor de YZF-R1M een online reserveringssysteem openstellen. And a full throttle only then drops to 11,000rpm.I had the opportunity to play with power settings too. The pegs are perfectly placed for me; not too high to cause leg comfort issues yet offering plenty of ground clearance not to scrape the Jerez surface.Aerodynamically, the screen is marginally higher but airflow and therefore efficiency has been improved by 5% as a result of the hard-to-spot front fairing revisions and new material used for the intake. The TFT display is small, cramped and lacking in options besides the performance electronics. Andere wijzigingen zijn onder andere oliekanalen met een gewijzigde afmeting in het carter om de oliedruk te optimaliseren en nieuw ontworpen sproeiers om de zuiger te koelen.De Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), voor de aansturing van de gaskleppen, wordt ook in 2020 gebruikt. The answer is subtle-but-effective. It uses a six axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), plus an accelerometer, which can work out how the bike is moving, 125 times a second. YMA have confirmed pricing as $26,399 inc GST Ride Away for the YZF-R1, and $34,849 inc GST Ride Away for the R1M.The new 2020 R1M and R1 come equipped with the next generation of Yamaha’s unique 998cc inline four-cylinder crossplane crankshaft engine for refined performance. Secondly, it’s new and so won’t have been crashed, thrashed, raced or rebuilt after doing cartwheels through Cadwell’s kitty litter. The gearbox performance isn’t affected but it’s the inversion of the gear lever allowing for optimal upchanges when still at lean coming out of the hairpin at Turn 2 and the quick change of direction into the faster left of Turn 3. The overall package compliments itself providing improved combustion and more direct throttle response, the sensitivity of which is just about noticeable at the first few degrees of twist, then again when in long-radius corners, of which there are several at Jerez, keeping the power application smooth and allowing me to worry about the right line.I’ve been spoiled recently by spending plenty of time on the BikeSocial BMW S1000RR M Performance long-termer recently, with its straight through full Akrapovic system and the resulting sensational mid-range torque.
Together, the changes result in smoother suspension dampening paired with an improved feeling of contact and grip with the street or track surface.Redesigned bodywork contributes to higher-quality performance and a more comfortable rider fit.
Under extreme test conditions on the Jerez Grand Prix circuit the Yamaha demonstrated its ability to turn quickly and hold the line especially in the faster corners such as the long, uphill right-hander at Turn 5. Make sense? It’ll take a bit of getting used to but isn’t terribly complicated.Four pre-sets will help if you fancy dialling in a track day setting, a commute setting and a wet setting for instance.A classy, well put together, Euro 5-compliant beauty that gets the 2020 holeshot in terms of sports bike bragging rights. I know that statement is hardly news to anyone who’s ridden a sports bike in the last 20 years.
