The YZF-R1 is Yamaha’s flagship supersport motorcycle which has a few upgrades for 2018 to make it more competitive in the litre-class segment.
The bike sports a sharp design language and LED headlamp unit with DRLs similar to the previous model. However, the new paint schemes and graphics give the YZF-R1 an aggressive look.
It also gets technological upgrades like the revised Quick Shift System that allows clutch-less downshifting and an updated Lift Control System. Apart from these, the bike’s electronic package includes slide control, launch control, anti-wheelie control, unified braking system and banking sensitive traction control.
The bike uses Yamaha’s Deltabox frame which houses the 998cc cross plane four-cylinder motor that produces a whopping 197bhp at 13,500rpm and 112.4Nm of torque at 11,500rpm. This unit is mated to a six-speed transmission and breathes through a titanium exhaust system. The YZF-R1 gets an aluminium tank and magnesium wheels as weight saving measures and weighs 5kg lesser than the outgoing model at 199kg.
The YZF-R1 rides on 43mm inverted front forks and a rear monoshock, sourced from KYB. Both the suspension parts are fully-adjustable.
The new YZF-R1 is available in India in two colours – black and blue. It competes with the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, the Suzuki GSX-R1000, BMW S1000RR and the Honda CBR1000R. It is priced at Rs 20.73 lakhs (ex-showroom).
The average of the YZF R1 is 15 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.

I’ve been riding a z900 now for about 2 1/2 years and smaller bikes before that, so yeah I haven’t rode a supersport as of now. In terms of being able to handle the power, I think I’m capable of controlling it but was more looking into the comfort of enjoyability of it. The R1 has been my favorite design for such a long time and I would love to have it but I realize it will never be as comfortable as a naked which I’m fine with. I guess I’m just asking what’s it really like to have an R1 and ride streets with it since they obviously look good but may be impractical. Would it be enjoyable if I’m only in first and second gear through the streets?

Tips for other riders
Service the steering & suspension bearings when you get a chance, they never get any love, same with fork oil, same with brake fluid, doing all that will get you access to parts of the bike that are hidden behind fairings & avoided. While doing this hit any thread you can see with a squirt of WD40…. Also spray / grease any pivoting points. Lube the clutch cable & throttle cable, check the chain & brake pads, change the oil & filter & you’re good to go

This bike is jewel in crown. except its a pure sports type, but shockingly this bike could be used for all purpose. It has great acceleration and speed. I was more concern about performance in long rides, but it proved there is no barrier to yamaha's great technology. I am amused with the performance of this bike.

It's depends on how you ride your bike. If you ride in high speed then you have to change oil after 2000 Km and if ride in normal way then you can change between 3000-3500 Km.
