Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Yamaha's latest R1 emphasized leading-edge electronics and has proven a popular choice among track day riders. For 2016 the company has added another model, the R1S, as a more affordable option for litre bike riders. For a $2,300 reduction in price, riders get a few cost-cutting components, including aluminum wheels and engine covers instead of magnesium, steel connecting rods instead of titanium, stainless steel headers instead of titanium, resulting in four additional kilos. Electronics and suspension components remain unchanged.
