Built around Yamaha's sport motorcycle platform, the 2025 Yamaha YZF R1 Race pairs a 998 cc engine architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 79.0 × 50.9 mm with a 13,0 : 1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the YZF R1 Race measures 201 kg (443 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 855 mm (33.7 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
