Experienced supersport riders and track day enthusiasts will have a blast riding the new 2012 YZF-R1. In addition to the ECU changes and new traction control system, which combine to achieve a new level of drivability, the R1 features a sharper, more aggressive fairing "face" with new eye catching LED illumination lighting. Other new styling highlights include the muffler covers and muffler end caps plus a MotoGP inspired lightweight top triple clamp.
