A huge media event this week at Sydney Motorsport Park with over
100 journalists from all over the world invited.
The reason for the interest is the hotly anticipated world
launch of Yamaha's ground breaking new YZF-R1. You can be a fly on
the wall at this event by registering for more information.
The 2015 YZF-R1 is developed for the track and blurs the line
between production superbikes and MotoGP race machinery. Valentino
Rossi assisted in developing the 200bhp inline four which is 'just
like my race bike but with lights and a number plate.'
A host of never-seen-before control technologies puts the power
down to the ground in a way that re-invents the supersport
category. Wrapped in an all new lightweight chassis, the media are
lining up to see if the new bike and its YZF- R1M special edition
version live up to the hype.
Technology developed from the blue and white world of MotoGP
racing has filtered directly into this new YZF-R1, and the entire
development team is heading to Australia to reveal their input with
unrivalled passion.
The press event starts on 19 Feb and runs through to 27 Feb.
Yamaha Motor Australia staff will be reporting trackside to bring
you a unique insight into the new model with feedback from
journalists, engineers, project development staff and racers.

test as well as links to videos illustrating the design and
development of this category leading model.
