2018 Yamaha YZF-R3, YZF-R6, YZF-R1 + YZF-R1M
2018 Yamaha R1 price cut by Rs 2.57 lakh in India
Reduction in Excise Duty has made Yamaha India pass on benefit to customers and 2018 Yamaha R1 is now priced at INR 18.16 lakhs.
Yamaha brought Ultimate Motorcycling to the stellar Utah Motorsports Campus (UMC) for its R-World press event, where we had our pick of the entire Yamaha Supersport product line. Better yet, Yamaha partnered with Bridgestone to help them launch the ultra-sticky Bridgestone Battlax Racing R11 DOT-approved track tire.
R-World is Yamaha’s way of describing the full Supersport line up, which includes the 2018 Yamaha YZF-R3, YZF-R6, YZF-R1S, YZF-R1, and the line topping YZF-R1M. This gave Yamaha a perfect chance to show off some of its factory authorized accessories from GYTR, Graves Motorsports, and Yoshimura R&D. Above all, it allowed us a chance to test some of the mechanical updates made to the 2018 Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M.

2018 Yamaha YZF-R3 Review
The Yamaha YZF-R3 is a perfect and sensible entry-point for motorcycle riders who want to kickstart their sport riding career. If you don’t plan on carrying passengers, the factory seat cowl bumps the looks up and bit and gives it the appearance of a racy little supersport.
The R3’s 321cc parallel-twin offers tractable power that newer riders will be able to become accustomed to, whether on the street or at your first track day for some advanced training. On a close quarters track like the East Circuit at UMC, the YZF-R3 has plenty of power to teach you the importance of throttle control and line choices. With add-ons such as the Yoshimura slip-on muffler, you’ll also be able to spice up your machine’s tone without too much work or a massive hit to your wallet.
2018 Yamaha YZF-R1 Review
In 2015, Yamaha unveiled the latest generation of the YZF-R1 and it was a game changer for the Japanese brand in terms of design philosophy, with track riding put at the forefront. And that philosophy has paid off in making the YZF-R1 a popular club racing and track day platform. Since then, the YZF-R1 has remained largely unchanged, until this year.
At the heart of the R1 is the venerable 998cc crossplane concept inline-4, which has an exhaust note that has become something of a fan favorite in the motorcycle community. With a seemingly unlimited amount of power on tap, it takes a serious rider to tame the beastly Yamaha.
Luckily, it can be kept in check with the Yamaha Ride Control suite. The R1 makes use of a true six-axis IMU, that monitors lean sensitive ABS, traction control, LIF, slide control and all other safety systems.


Yamaha R1 is available in color options of Tech Black and Yamaha Blue. It is imported as a CBU from Japan. It appeals to younger buyers in its segment with a host of sporty features.
