In 2015, when the DOHC inline-four 998 cc Yamaha R1 was released, reviewers proclaimed it with words like “best ever” and “pinnacle of motorcycling.” The R1 was very good; the R1M was better.

The R1M jettisoned the standard model’s KYB suspension for Öhlins’ Electronic Racing Suspension. Yamaha also stiffened the front spring rate by 16 percent and the rear spring rate by 2 percent. The R1M came standard with Yamaha’s Communication Control Unit (CCU), which enables you to communicate with the bike through a tablet or smartphone app and upload your settings for the various rider aids, opening the door to Yamaha’s Y-TRAC data-logging program. A total of 21 different channels are available for analyzing things like throttle opening, speed, lean angle, brake pressure, engine rpm, and more. Yamaha sharpened the R1M’s appeal with a dose of carbon fiber on the front fender, headlight cowling, side fairing, and passenger seat cowl, along with a polished swing arm and hand buffed polished aluminum tank.

Three years after its debut, Yamaha updated the R1M in 2018 with improved electronic suspension, a downshifter for the quickshift system, and better logic for the lift control.

Manufactured in April 2018, this example is VIN: JYARN40E1JA000821. The seller is the original owner.

The odometer shows 112 miles.

The bike is completely stock and the seller states that there are no cosmetic blemishes or mechanical issues.
