Yamaha R1M

-

What’s the point in having the best MotoGP bike in the paddock, if you can’t make some cash out of it? Someone at Yamaha clearly thought this a few years back, and the R1M is the result. Based on the standard 2015 R1, the M takes that basic 198bhp, 200kg weapon, and moves it up a level. Main difference is Öhlins electronic suspension, linked to the Inertial Measuremen­t Unit, so the R1M alters the suspension along with the traction control and ABS as you thrash away. Carbon everywhere, plus an alloy tank, makes this one pretty special.
