1998 YZF-R1
Collection items
(1998 / Production Model)
The YZF-R1 was designed under the concept of “unsurpassed excitement” on winding roads, and revolutionized the world of sport bikes. Its many revolutionary features included a lightweight, compact 1,000cc in-line 4-cylinder engine that had strong but easy-to-use torque and power, and a Deltabox II frame that achieved an ideal chassis layout. The R1 marked the beginning of a new era in the supersport model category, shifting away from the 750cc engines that were the standard for racebikes at the time.
