Yamaha recently updated their Superbike, the YZF– R1 while on the inside the engine is the same 998cc inline four with the crossplane crankshaft that first debuted on the 2009 model, but now they’ve added a traction control system (seven levels of TC, with 21 settings which will be available when combined with the the three-level “Drive Mode” system) developed from their MotoGP racing program, while on the outside they’ve carried out very bland, almost unnoticeable makeover.
