Yamahas highest specification Supersport, the 2026 YZF-R1M comes adorned in striking carbon fiber bodywork including MotoGP-inspired winglets, distinctive R1M styling and an engraved serial number badge to further highlight its exclusivity. Taking all the explosive performance and capability of the YZF-R1 to an even higher level, the R1Ms advanced hlins Electronic Racing Suspension works with a dedicated Suspension Control Unit to rapidly adjust front and rear damping in real time, whether braking, cornering or accelerating.

Features may include:

• MotoGP-Inspired Winglets

Developed through extensive simulator and on-track testing, MotoGP-inspired carbon fiber winglets create additional downforce for exceptional chassis stability and added front-end feel when braking or cornering.

• MotoGP-Derived Crossplane Crankshaft Engine

The YZF-R1Ms 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine features Yamahas exclusive crossplane crankshaft technology derived from the YZR-M1 MotoGP race bike.
