Yamaha India has launched the New Yamaha R1 in India. Yamaha had first launched the R1 in India back in 2007 and the bike had been a huge hit with motorcycle enthusiasts in the country. ‘While the market for superbikes in India is still limited, consumer response to our previously launched YZF-R1, MT01 and VMAX bikes has been overwhelming. The new R1’s launch signifies our successful brand transformation efforts in India,’ said Yukimine Tsuji, CEO and MD, IYM.

With its four-cylinder, 998cc engine that produces about 179 Bhp, Yamaha R1 is widely considered to be one of the best superbikes in the world. This phenomenal machine is priced at Rs 12.50 lakh in India and will be available at 24 authorized Yamaha dealerships in 13 cities. The new generation YZF-R1 is more closely linked to our MotoGP winning M1 than ever before. In 2008, Yamaha’s YZF-R1 reached the 10-year anniversary of its introduction. In 1998 the 150-horsepower R1 was nothing less than revolution.
