Yamaha YZR-M1

Today's about Yamaha YZR-M1.

The Yamaha YZR-M1 is an 800 cc (49 cu in) motorcycle specifically developed by Yamaha Motor Company to race in the current MotoGP series.[1] It succeeded the 500 cc (31 cu in) YZR500 by the 2002 season and was originally developed with a 990 cc (60 cu in) engine. Since then, the YZR-M1 has been continuously developed into several iterations.

The 2008 YZR-M1 was regarded as the best all round bike in MotoGP. Rossi won the 2008 Championship by a record margin and dominated podium finishes all season. Team mate Jorge Lorenzo managed a first ever Rookie win on the M1 at the Portuguese GP and had 6 podium finishes. Many along with Rossi have said that the YZR-M1 was the best bike of 2008 season, something that was well proven during the heated battles Rossi had with Casey Stoner on the Ducati.
