Engineered by Yamaha for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2008 Yamaha YZF-R1 10h Anniversary utilizes a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 77.0 x 53.6 mm (3.0 x 2.1 inches).
On the scales, the YZF-R1 10h Anniversary measures 176.9 kg (390 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 836 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,415 mm (55.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.97-liter (4.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
