Based on the production model YZ450F, the Yamaha YZ450FX is equipped with various features required for
Enduro racing. Easy handling prowess mated to a powerful engine at high speeds
makes the Yamaha YZ450FX a great fit. The Tokyo Motor Show will have Kenji
Suzuki's machine participating in All Japan Motorcycle Cross Country
Championship.
The 2020 Yamaha R1 will be making its Japanese debut
at Tokyo Motor Show. The flagship sports motorcycle now packs a better
aerodynamic package and the latest R-Series design. Also, the in-line
four-cylinder engine is now Euro 5 compliant. Besides that, the Yamaha R1 is
now fitted with augmented electronic control features. This includes an all-new
Accelerator Position Sensor with Grip (APSG) ride-by-wire system with Yamaha’s
Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T). Not only does this make the bike lighter, but
also its throttle response smoother than ever.
Yamaha also claims that with the new body, the R1’s
aerodynamic efficiency has increased by 5.3%. Braking department too gains a
new front brake pad friction material. Interestingly, though, deliveries of the
2020 Yamaha R1 in Japan will begin only in fall-2020.
The 998 cc crossplane crank engine of the 2020
Yamaha R1 produces 197 PS of power. The top-end performance is claimed to have
been improved. The LED headlamp is new, and the fuel tank is now made of
aluminium. Also, the 2020 Yamaha R1 gets new Bridgestone Battlax RS11 tyres.
