The 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M have been shown to the world, and they come with exciting changes. These two fast bikes are even better now, both in how they look and how they perform.
Bold and Aggressive Look
The new YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M both have a sharp, strong look. They are designed to catch your eye. But what makes them stand out even more are the new carbon fiber winglets. These winglets help the bike stay steady, especially when going fast or making tight turns. Yamaha has added these winglets to make the bike look even more like the MotoGP bikes you see on TV. They do more than just make the bike look cool—they help with speed and balance too.

Better Suspension for a Smooth Ride
Yamaha has also made the ride smoother with the updated KYB front fork on the YZF-R1. This part of the bike helps you feel more in control while riding on the road. You can adjust it to fit your style. On the R1M, Yamaha has kept the Ohlins suspension, which is even better and more advanced. This means the R1M will give riders an even smoother and more stable ride.

Stronger Brakes for More Control
For 2025, Yamaha listened to the riders who wanted better brakes. Now, both bikes come with Brembo Stylema callipers and a Brembo master cylinder. These new parts will help the bike stop faster and give the rider more control. This is great news for people who love riding fast but still want to stay safe on the road or track.

Powerful Engine with a Unique Sound
The heart of these bikes is a 998cc engine with four cylinders and a crossplane crankshaft. This engine is very powerful, making 200 horsepower and 113Nm of torque. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox to help riders control all that power. The crossplane crankshaft makes the engine sound special, giving it a deep, growling noise that bike fans love.

Packed with Smart Technology
These bikes are filled with smart technology to keep riders safe and help them go faster. Both the YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M come with features like cornering ABS, which helps you brake safely when turning, and traction control, which keeps the wheels from slipping. There’s also wheelie control to keep the front wheel from lifting off the ground when you go fast. And, there are ride modes that let you choose how the bike behaves based on how and where you are riding.

Sold as Track-Only Bikes in Europe
Because the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M don’t meet Euro 5 rules for pollution, they can only be sold as track-only bikes in Europe. This means you can’t ride them on normal roads there. However, in the United States, where pollution rules are different, these bikes are still road-legal, so you can ride them on regular streets.

What About India?
In India, these bikes don’t meet the BS6.2 rules yet. Yamaha has not said if they will sell them in India, but if they do, they will probably be track-only bikes like in Europe. Fans of Yamaha in India will have to wait and see if they get the chance to ride these powerful machines.
