Yamaha launched the YZF-R1  after redesigning the Genesis engine to offset the crankshaft, gearbox  input and output shafts and this “compacting” of the engine yielded a  huge dividend in that the total engine length was now very short. The  Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycle, introduced in 1998, was the first significant  motorcycle in the true liter class (1,000 cc) “handling arms race”  between the Japanese Big Four motorcycle manufacturers (Honda, Kawasaki,  Suzuki and Yamaha). When introduced, it took the class closer to a true  racing motorcycle, and increased the handling capabilities. May be some  more improvements it might push it further to the top among the top 10  fastest bikes in the world.</blockquote>
