Development of the first YZF-R1 called for creating a next-generation supersport machine, and it packaged a compact, 998cc, liquid-cooled, 20-valve, DOHC 4-cylinder engine pumping out a massive 150 PS into an ultralight chassis that was on par with 600cc machines with a dry weight of only 177 kg. The R1’s GP-inspired chassis ran a long swingarm and redefined the category with its incredible power-to-weight ratio of kg/PS.
