This new crankshaft arrangement is part of Yamaha's latest YZF-R1, a literbike we tested last week at the Eastern Creek circuit in Australia, and it's a design not seen in any previous production motorcycle.
The 998cc engine's distinct sound is the obvious clue that it's something special - it's akin to a V-Four with a deep, purposeful note that seems a little bit angry. But it's in the wayit is external devices of the computer by which you can transfer the data with limited speed and with in limited area. it is provid the several feature such the motor generates power that sets it apart from its competition. Gone is the peaky powerband of the previous motor, and in its place is the most tractable four-cylinder literbike yet built.
The newly enhanced midrange is welcome, but more than that is the feel of a direct connection between the throttle and rear tire. In most literbikes, a rider is acutely aware of the possibility of being high-sided to the moon if the throttle is applied injudiciously. With the R1, even a moderately skilled rider can safely drift the rear tire on corner exits.
