Overview
The 2026 Yamaha YZF R1 WORLD SUPERSPORT is a sportbike. Its liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine displaces 599 cm³, has a 13.1:1 compression ratio, and the motorcycle weighs 190 kg.
The 851 mm seat height can make it harder for shorter riders to get both feet down at a stop. Three-way adjustable inverted front forks and a four-way adjustable KYB rear shock let riders tune the suspension, while ABS is fitted to both front and rear brakes. The 17 L tank carries the fuel supply, and the chain final drive needs cleaning and adjustment.
