New Yamaha YZF R1M

There’s no change to the engine, the 998 cc, CP4, crossplane crank, inline four-cylinder engine, which puts out 200 bhp and 113 Nm. Both the R1 and R1 M get carbon fibre winglets, but it’s the standard R1 which gets more updates, including a new, fully adjustable 43 mm KYB fork, as well as Brembo Stylema four-piston radial calipers, along with a Brembo master cylinder.

The R1 also gets a new seat cover texture which is said to improve grip and allow ease of movement for riders to shift their weight around. For the more expensive 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1M, it gets carbon bodywork and higher-spec Ohlins electronic suspension, where the IMU with data about vehicle speed, lean angle, acceleration and braking force, powers the suspension tweaking damping in real time for optimum suspension performance.

Other Upcoming Yamaha Models are the New YZF R1, YZF MT-07 and Tenere 700
