In recent years it seemed that the decline of the super-sports market, as motorcyclists have turned to adventure bikes and other less high-performance alternatives, might result in some Japanese firms abandoning the sector altogether. Yamaha’s launch of a new, race-developed YZF-R1, the successor to the famed 1998 model of the same name, is an emphatic statement to the contrary.
With a maximum output of 197bhp, and weighing 199kg with fuel, the Yamaha has a power-to-weight ratio fractionally higher than that of BMW’s class yardstick, the S1000RR.Yamaha’s system is based on a device called an Inertia Measurement Unit which, like those used by BMW, Ducati and KTM, uses gyroscopes and accelerometers to track movement more than 100 times per second.
