Book Type: Hardcover
"This book on the development of the new YZF-R1 is a gift to the owners of this remarkable machine. Yamaha feels that knowledge about one's bike and how it was created intensifies the ownership experience. We'd be honored if this book finds a permanent place on your bookshelf.
You've probably already experienced the incredible performance of your new R1—maybe you've already done a few track days. A relationship is developing between the two of you. Perhaps you find yourself wondering about the technology capable of producing such rider-responsive performance, and why Yamaha engineers developed the machine in such a way. Based on actual interviews with Project Leader Toyoshi Nishida, this book, like a surgeon's scalpel, reveals the innermost secrets of the new YZF-R1 and the thinking of the men who created it.
After reading this narrative, every time you ride your R1 you'll feel the spirit of the men who conceived it, for you'll be holding their emotions in your hands."
