SELLER DESCRIPTION

2009 YAMAHA YZFR1 / R1, All new for 2009 In the supersport liter class, there s always lots of talk about power. You expect that. What you wouldn t have expected until now is a radically superior way to deliver that power. Introducing the 2009 YZF-R1, the first ever production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each connecting rod 90 from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270 - 180 - 90 - 180 . This all but eliminates undesirable inertial crankshaft torque, which allows the engine s compression torque to build smoothly and provide a very linear power delivery out of the corners. It s a feeling that s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline 4. In fact, the new YZF-R1 is not a continuation of existing supersport development; it is breakthrough technology that represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance. This next-generation R1 keeps all the technological superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) is MotoGP inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. The fuel injection system provides optimum air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle response.
