Yamaha, Japanese two-wheeler major has revealed the new Yamaha YZF-R1s on the US website, which happens to be budgeted and lower spec’d variant of the new R1.
The new S model gets steel conrods and exhaust headers instead of titanium ones, uses aluminium for the wheels, engine covers and sump instead of magnesium, and as a result weighs 4kg more than the normal R1. It also does without a quick-shifter but retains the high-spec traction control with its inertial measurement unit (IMU).
In the US, the R1S will be priced at $14,990, which is $2000 less than the normal R1.
