Overview
The Yamaha YZF R1S is a sportbike from the 2016–2018 model run. The 2018 model has a 998 cm³ liquid-cooled inline-four engine rated at 200 hp (149 kW), with 112 Nm of torque at 11,500 rpm; its wet weight is 203.2 kg.
Peak torque arrives high in the rev range, so the engine's strongest pull comes when it is spinning fast. The 861 mm seat can make stopping and putting a foot down harder for shorter riders, while its 203.2 kg wet weight takes more effort to maneuver at low speeds. Fuel consumption is 6.90 L/100 km, with a calculated full-tank range of about 246 km. ABS, a slipper clutch, and fully adjustable front and rear suspension add braking, downshift, and setup options.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Fully adjustable front and four-way-adjustable rear suspension let riders tailor the setup to their preferences.
Slipper clutch
The slipper clutch helps calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts.
ABS braking
ABS on both brakes can help maintain control during hard braking.
Things to consider
Tall seat
The 861 mm seat height can make it difficult for shorter riders to plant both feet at a stop.
Limited tank range
A calculated range of about 246 km means longer rides call for more frequent fuel stops.
Weight at low speeds
At 203.2 kg wet, the bike takes more effort to maneuver in tight spaces than a lighter motorcycle.
