2021 Yamaha YZF-R1
The numbers
Where the price sits
1 listing matches this machine, and the rule wants 3 before it will call anything a market — a median off fewer is their average. The ask is shown on its own instead.
A comparable is the same make, model, year and trim, within 3,999 miles of this odometer and 500 miles of this dealer. Unpriced listings are ignored, this one is excluded, and a dealer posting the same machine twice counts once.

2021 Yamaha YZF-R1R HISTORY. YOUR FUTURE. WE R1.Featuring next-generation R-Series styling, sophisticated electronic control, supersport braking and suspension performance and a high-performance crossplane engine.Features may include:MotoGP®-Derived Crossplane Crankshaft EngineThe 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine features Yamaha’s exclusive crossplane crankshaft technology derived from the YZR-M1 MotoGP® machine. Every aspect of this unique engine is built to thrill.Digital Superbike TechnologyThe R1® features a cable-less ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T®) system that transforms the rider’s inputs into motion, with a full suite of IMU-powered electronic rider aids that bring new meaning to the term "rider confidence."Superbike Brakes and TiresThe YZF-R1® utilizes track-focused braking hardware, featuring potent 4-piston radial-mounted front calipers, stainless steel front lines, big 320mm rotors with high-friction pads and a compact ABS unit. The Bridgestone® RS11 tires ensure true racetrack-ready traction with balanced road feel and handling.ENGINECutting-Edge CP4® EngineThe R1’s 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine features Yamaha’s exclusive crossplane crankshaft technology derived from the YZR-M1 MotoGP® machine. By equalizing inertial forces at the crankshaft, the CP4 motor delivers a direct feeling of linear torque, giving the rider the ultimate connection between throttle grip and the rear wheel.High-Output Engine TechnologyTitanium connecting rods use Yamaha’s precision fracture-split method to ensure reliability with minimal weight. Combined with titanium intake valves and forged pistons, these lightweight parts help achieve the CP4’s high redline and over-rev capability. The cylinder block is also offset from the crankshaft, reducing friction loads on the pistons and bores.High-Performance Intake SystemThe cylinder head, intake system, fuel injectors and airbox work together to enhance part-throttle performance. And by creating a smaller and shorter intake tract, new injectors are able to spray fuel directly against the intake valves for improved fuel atomization.CHASSIS/SUSPENSIONBrake Control (BC) System with ABSDeveloped on racetracks around the world, Yamaha’s Brake Control system works with an Antilock Braking System (ABS) to minimize brake slip under aggressive braking or on less than ideal surfaces. The adjustable BC system uses the IMU to provide progressive brake force intervention as lean angle increases which boosts rider confidence when braking mid-corner.Supersport Braking ComponentsThe YZF-R1 features 4-piston radial-mounted front calipers riding on big 320mm rotors for excellent stopping power, with a high-friction pad compound, all supported by a 220mm rear disc and compact floating caliper. The ABS hydraulic unit is light and compact, and the high-quality braided stainless steel front lines provide firm yet responsive control feel.ADDITIONALSleek StylingThe YZF-R1 features bodywork to create an aerodynamic profile, with stylish lines that give a sleek and integrated design.All-LED LightingLED headlights are both lightweight and compact, allowing for a more streamlined design of the front cowling with excellent visibility. The lights deliver a broad spread of illumination. LED front turn signals are integrated into the mirrors for improved aerodynamics while the LED tail light is stylish and highly visible.
