The role of G.E.N.I.C.H. technology
Yamaha’s G.E.N.I.C.H. (G.E.N.I.C.H. [Jenik] stands for Genesis in Electronic engineering aimed at New, Innovative Control technology based on Human sensibilities) technology is an advanced concept which involves the application of cutting-edge electronic control technology in order to realise the dual goals of achieving increased performance and enhancing the riding experience.
This sophisticated concept forms the bedrock on which all Yamaha development is based, and it guides Yamaha’s creative spirit. G.E.N.I.C.H. is responsible for one of Yamaha’s most famous innovations, namely the YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) which has played a pivotal role in making the new-generation YZF-R6, today’s leading 600 supersport.
And now, for 2007, Yamaha introduce YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake), the latest ground-breaking innovation in electronic intake control which is designed to raise the performance of the new R1 to a new level.
Featuring an all-new engine, chassis and bodywork, the new R1 can justifiably claim to be the most sophisticated high-tech supersport machine ever built. And, at the same time, it also delivers the most exciting, rewarding and responsive riding experience imaginable.

Even more power, even more usability!
Producing 180PS at 12,500rpm (not including direct air induction), the new fifth-generation R1 is undoubtedly the most impressive and powerful R-series motorcycle ever produced.
More importantly, it is the remarkably controllable character of the power delivery that marks this machine out as a leader. This well-rounded supersport machine delivers a broad spread of linear power throughout a wider rpm range compared to the previous model, making the 2007 R1 an even more impressive performer on both the road and track.
Peak power has been increased by 5PS, and significantly, the transitional characteristics of the power are dramatically improved on the new machine. Indeed, it is the new engine’s remarkable usability that looks set to make this fifth-g ...

 mcsrider (10-10-2006): might be a real competador with the new k7 GSX-R 1000. Thought i was going to get the gixxer but this article tickels my brain on which one i should get now!

gsv191 (10-10-2006): Lots of technology- but will it all gel together? ..probably. Real nice R1 family evolution.

 marcnic123 (10-10-2006): Very bold styling and the instrumentation looks classy too. Total package is very neat. A damn sight farther down the line than my own '98.

mpneves (10-10-2006): Very nice, but lacks the true racing style that I expected from Yamaha, not agresive enough for me...on the road u will mistake it for the previous model...The Suzuki is the way to go...+ it will be alot cheaper...value for money.

 danyboys88 (10-10-2006): Depuis 2004, il n'y a rien de mieux et plus aggressif que la ZX-10R 2005 !!! Je garde ma Kawa !!!

 R6ex (11-10-2006): Styling sucks!
Give the R1 the R6 or M1 styling, please!!!
For styling, nothing beats the 675, R6, Desmocedici RR or 916!
