The 2020 Yamaha YZF-R1M and YZF-R1 have been launched in the US

The Philippine motorcycle market has seen several new arrivals in recent years—underbones and big bikes alike. Yamaha Motor Philippines, in particular, has added multiple offerings to its local lineup in 2019 alone. Well, that lineup might be experiencing a slight refresh soon—at least we hope so.

That’s because Yamaha Motor Corporation USA has just unveiled the new 2020 YZF-R1M and YZF-R1. These refreshed models will sport the latest tech safety features from Yamaha to provide better control, a smoother ride, and enhanced overall performance versus their precursors.

The new bikes will also pack the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer’s 998cc DOHC liquid-cooled in-line-four engine mated to a six-speed transmission with wet multi-plate assist and a slipper clutch. Hydraulic discs, a brake control system, and ABS for both front and rear ends come as standard. These refreshed models also roll on 17-inch wheels and have a seat height of 33.9 inches. The lightweight aluminum fuel tanks can store up to 17 liters, and consumption is estimated to be around 14km/L.
