About this bike
2002 Yamaha YZF R1
The 2002 Yamaha YZF-R1 (third generation, is a landmark litre-class superbike that shifted focus from raw horsepower to refined handling and chassis balance.
Notable Features:
• Handling Focus: Yamaha tuned the chassis geometry and raised the engine placement to improve mid-corner stability and eliminate the nervous steering or mid-corner head-shake of earlier models.
• Ergonomics: Features a wider upper nose fairing for better wind protection and a reshaped, narrower fuel tank for improved rider connection.
