2010 Yamaha YZF-R1 LE
The new YZF-R1 LE sports Valentino Rossi livery just like his YZF-M1 MotoGP bike, but will come in very limited numbers.
MotoGP Technology with looks to match.
The new 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1LE not only gives you much of Valentino Rossi's championship technology, but also his championship look and style. The R1 is the first ever production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. The Result? Outrageous torque and raw, high-rpm power providing incredibly smooth power delivery out of the corners. While the bold Fiat Yamaha team graphics provide incredibly smooth style.
Highlights:
New for 2010:
" The YZF-R1 LE is a limited edition Valentino Rossi / Fiat Yamaha replica
complete with the number "46" and "The Doctor" logos,
including a replica of Valentino Rossi's signature on the fuel tank.
Features and Benefits (USA):
Key Features:
" The YZF-R1 garnered the prestigious award as the 2009 Motorcycle of
the Year from Motorcyclist Magazine. The YZF-R1 was chosen for its MotoGP®-inspired
engine and chassis technology, and for its luxurious fit and finish.
" Back for 2010, the YZF-R1 is the only production motorcycle with a
crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP®
racing with the M1, puts each piston 90° from the next, with an uneven
firing interval of 270° - 180°- 90°- 180°. This uneven order
does an amazing thing… it actually lets power build more smoothly. That
means smooth roll-on delivery out of the corners, with outstanding tractability,
followed by very strong high rpm power. 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 four. This breakthrough technology on the
YZF-R1 represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance.
" This 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.
" The R1 features Yamaha D-MODE (or drive mode) with rider-selectable
throttle control maps to program YCC-T performance characteristics for riding
conditions. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance.
The "A" mode lets the rider enjoy sportier engine response in the
low- to mid-speed range, and the "B" mode offers response that is
somewhat less sharp for riding situations that require especially sensitive
throttle operation. Switching maps is as easy as pushing a button on the handlebar
switch.
" In keeping with this machine's exceptional cornering ability and crisp
handling, the aluminum frame has been designed to offer exceptional rigidity
balance. The rear frame is lightweight Controlled-Fill die-cast magnesium,
contributing the optimum mass centralization. Suspension includes SOQI front
forks which use one of the tricks developed for our winning MotoGP® bikes:
independent damping. The left fork handles compression damping and the right
side handles the rebound damping. And the rear shock adopts bottom linkage
for optimum suspension characteristics.
" The bodywork does more than add break-away-from-the-crowd styling with
its more serious, less busy look. The side fairing is smooth for a sleek appearance.
And, instead of the usual four-bulb headlight design, the R1 has only two
projector-type bulbs mounted closer to the nose of the bike. This positions
ram air ducts closer in for a more compact, smooth look. In addition, the
rounded lenses are unique to the supersport industry.
Engine:
" Crossplane crankshaft technology proven in victory after victory on
MotoGP® machines provides a high-tech uneven firing interval. Unlike typical
inline-four engine design, where the two outer and two inner pistons move
together in pairs with 180° intervals, the crossplane crankshaft has each
connecting rod 90° with a unique firing order of 270° - 180° -
90° - 180°. This overcomes the inherent fluctuations in inertial torque
during each engine revolution, and the accompanying peaky torque characteristics.
Instead, combustion torque continues to build, giving the rider more linear
throttle response with awesome power and traction out of the corners.
" To maximize rider comfort as well as power output, the engine adopts
a coupling-type balancer that rotates in the opposite direction as the crankshaft.
" This engine features forged aluminum pistons to take maximum advantage
of the power characteristics. Titanium intake valves are lightweight.
" A forced-air intake system is adopted to increase intake efficiency
by using the natural airflow during riding to pressurize the air in the air
box. This contributes to outstanding power delivery characteristics in the
high-speed range, while the design also helps to minimize intake noise.
" Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting
from high speed.
" The exhaust system is meticulously designed to enhance engine output
while, thanks to its three-way catalyst technology, also reducing exhaust
emissions. The silencer is a single expansion type, and the sound coming through
from the unique crossplane crankshaft- equipped engine is unlike any other
inline-four cylinder production supersport.
" This fuel-injected engine takes full advantage of YCC-T (Yamaha Chip
Controlled Throttle), the MotoGP®-inspired fly-by-wire technology used
to deliver instant throttle response. There's also YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled
Intake, the variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. Fuel
injectors have 12 holes for optimum fuel atomization that translates to the
most power from every fuel charge.
" Have it your way, thanks to Yamaha D-MODE (or "Drive Mode")
variable throttle control. There are three modes that control how YCC-T responds
to throttle input from the rider. The selectable "A" mode puts more
emphasis on engine response in low to midrange rpm. "B" mode, on
the other hand, provides less sharp response to input for riding situations
that require especially sensitive throttle operation. The standard map is
designed for optimum overall performance. Selecting the map you want is as
easy as pressing a button on the handlebars.
Chassis/Suspension:
" The frame has a combination of uncompromising rigidity where needed
along with carefully achieved flex for the precise rigidity balance this bike
needs to give the rider the full benefit of its handling and engine characteristics.
It is a sophisticated combination of Controlled-Fill die-cast, stamping, and
gravity casting… the exact technology needed for each portion of this
advanced frame.
" SOQI front forks take a page from the championship-winning design of
our MotoGP® weapon, the M1. Since both forks always move together, compression
damping duties can be confined to the left fork, while rebound damping is
precisely handled by the right fork, reducing oil cavitation.
" The SOQI rear shock features both high and low speed compression damping
plus an easy-to-use screw hydraulic adjustment for preload. This unit also
adopts a pillow-ball-type joint for exceptional shock absorption, road hold
feeling, and damper response. To achieve maximum performance, a bottom linkage
is used to work with the rest of the chassis refinements for brilliant, crisp
handling characteristics.
" Factory racers get machines tailored to their preferences. Welcome
to the club. R1 has adjustable footrests, with a 15mm height and 3mm front-to-rear
adjustment.
" The press-formed fuel tank has a shape developed using 3-D simulation
analysis technology. The elongated shape of the tank allows it to fit neatly
within the frame in a way that promotes concentration of mass.
Additional Features:
" The instrumentation includes everything a rider wants to know, including
gear position.
