The Yamaha YZF-R1M utilizes the powerful electronics package that Yamaha has developed, with traction control, launch control, wheelie control, slide control, and anti-locking brakes all acting in unison through the inertial measurement unit (IMU).

[HotRodZilla]

That is BAD ASS!! Man, if only I were rich instead of good-looking.

Good luck getting the M version.

"Teams and individuals are asked to apply online via their national distributor for an offer of a machine, via the dedicated YZF-R1M application system that opens on December 1st 2014. Once the distributor has received online applications they will establish contact between selected Yamaha dealers and potential customers to make an appointment to discuss the availability of the limited supply of machinery. It is anticipated that demand will exceed supply, and Yamaha distributors will use their discretion in managing the allocation of YZF-R1M units"

You'll recall that I told you the day I met you that if having a wonderful family matters, you are indeed rich. However your judgement concerning the latter is lacking

Ass,

Looks like Yamaha is still living up to the meaning of their name

I'd settle for either one. Or that new R1 in lieu of both.

With steep price tag $16,500!

Oh my!

That's the regular R1. "M" version is $22k...at least that's MSRP!!

We can only hope that the wide mirrors and mirror mounted blinkers and the headlights make it to the FJR. Opens up so many design possibilities...although I expect it to take a good ten years for it to permeate the rest of the lineup.

And with the limited production numbers, what do you imagine the chances will be that they will come off of MSRP at all?

Mirror mounted blinkers have been on Gixxers since at least '05 - not sure when they might have been cut in on other brands/models. Its already been 10 years!

I did not know Yamaha made the Gixxer. I am real surprised it hasn't permeated Yamahas lineup seeing they have made the Gixxer for 10 years....
