2010 Yamaha YZF R1 LE

The 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1 is a landmark motorcycle that stands out in the liter-bike class thanks to its revolutionary crossplane crankshaft engine. This is a machine built with technology directly from Valentino Rossi's M1 MotoGP race bike, giving it a unique and exhilarating character unlike any other inline-four-cylinder sportbike.

Engine and Performance:
At the heart of this R1 is its incredible 998cc liquid-cooled, inline-four engine with the crossplane crankshaft. This design, with its uneven 270°-180°-90°-180° firing sequence, creates a sound and feel that is more akin to a V-twin, with a raw, growling exhaust note and exceptional low-to-midrange torque. This gives the rider a fantastic sense of connection to the rear wheel, allowing for precise throttle control and a confidence-inspiring feel when exiting corners. The engine produces an impressive 182 horsepower and is paired with a 6-speed transmission.

Chassis and Handling:
The R1's chassis is designed for aggressive, yet manageable, performance. It features a lightweight Deltabox aluminum frame that is both rigid and responsive. The suspension consists of a fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork and a fully adjustable rear shock, allowing riders to fine-tune the bike's handling for their specific riding style and track conditions. For improved stability at high speeds, the bike is also equipped with a steering damper. The powerful brakes, featuring dual 310mm discs with six-piston calipers up front, provide strong and reliable stopping power.

Technology and Features:
The 2010 R1, while not as tech-heavy as modern superbikes, was ahead of its time. It features a ride-by-wire throttle and Yamaha's "D-Mode," which allows the rider to select between three different throttle response maps (Standard, A, and B). The bike's styling is aggressive and race-inspired, with a dual projector headlight design and a distinct pair of under-seat exhaust pipes that are a visual and auditory highlight.
