The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M have been officially introduced in international markets. This superbike has undergone several significant modifications, both in terms of aesthetics and mechanical components.
From a design perspective, the YZF-R1 and R1M exhibit a bold and aggressive appearance. The addition of new carbon fiber winglets enhances this aggressive stance, drawing inspiration from the Yamaha MotoGP factory team’s YZR-M1. These winglets not only contribute to the bike’s visual appeal but also enhance aerodynamic downforce during cornering and hard acceleration out of turns.
Another notable update is the revised KYB front fork on the YZF-R1, which is designed to provide improved road feedback and chassis stability. As with previous models, the suspension remains fully adjustable. Conversely, the R1M continues to feature the higher-spec Ohlins suspension system.
A significant enhancement that many R1 enthusiasts have long desired is the improved braking performance. For 2025, this has been realized with the introduction of new Brembo Stylema calipers and a Brembo master cylinder, which are expected to enhance braking bite and feel, according to Yamaha.

The powertrain of the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M consists of a 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine equipped with a crossplane crankshaft, delivering 200bhp and 113Nm of torque, and is mated to a six-speed transmission.
As anticipated, the motorcycle is equipped with a range of electronic features, including IMU-assisted cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and various ride modes.
It is important to note that the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M do not meet Euro 5 emission standards, which restricts their sale to track-only use in European markets. In the United States, where emission regulations are less stringent, these models are road-legal. In India, the bikes currently do not comply with BS6.2 norms; however, Yamaha may consider offering the R1 as a track-only option in this market.
