Yamaha is a company with a very diverse selection of products that ranges through plenty of different industries, but one of the major businesses that the company has a hand in is motorcycles. Yamaha originally got into the small vehicle industry back during 1954 and since then has become a major player in the sports world. Recently, the company has been unveiling their 2015 Yamaha YZF-R1 and the R1M which will be available for purchase sometime next year.
The YZM models will both feature a 4 cylinder 998 cc power plant with plenty of other top features to round out an amazing set of bikes. The two Yamaha vehicles will offer an immense amount of power without sacrificing control or electronic amenities. The YZF models will feature a six axis gyrometer that measures the bikes dynamics during a ride while also modulating the throttle and brakes.
