Finely-defined edges convey a truly dynamic feel, and the wide air intake has been deliberately designed with a look that accentuates its actual function of drawing in greater volumes of air to boost engine performance – while the new 2-eye 4-bulb headlights give the bike an unmistakeable R-series face.

At the rear there is a compact new tail assembly and newly designed seat, as well as a new LED tail light and separate mudguard with license plate holder – and the double underseat mufflers form a ‘V’ configuration for a distinctive looking rear end.

Other features

The other notable features on the new R1 include a newly designed front-rear two-part ‘covered top’ fuel tank as well as new instrumentation with a needle type tachometer and digital speedometer. And to handle the increased performance a new twin fan radiator is fitted.
