Following successful participation in the EV class of the FIM Trial World Championship with the electric prototype TY-E, as well as participation in the Formula E championship, Yamaha is now ready to take the next step to obtain valuable experience from electric motocross championship MXEP with the YE-01 Racing Concept.
To develop the YE-01 Racing Concept for this activity, Yamaha Motor is collaborating with Electric Motion (EM), Yamaha’s strategic partner since November 2024, following Yamaha Motor’s investment in EM. At its heart, the partnership aims to connect the respective expertise and capabilities of Yamaha and EM to further explore EV-based technologies.
The YE-01 Racing Concept is a live project, and will be further developed with the aim of participating in the new electric motocross category, MXEP, that will be part of the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar in the future. This MXEP class will showcase prototype electric bikes across several rounds in Europe, running alongside MXGP events.
To ensure it delivers the praised Yamaha riding feeling — a feeling of control and stability — the YE-01 Racing Concept benefits from the latest spec, best-in-class chassis shared with the 2026 YZ450F.
Developed specifically for motocross, the YE-01 Racing Concept features a liquid-cooled electric powertrain, capable to offer MXGP levels of power. To bring the electric power delivery as close as possible to the Yamaha ride feel, the motor is paired with a hydraulic clutch, while the battery location ensures an optimized centre of gravity, much like the reverse-head engine layout in the YZ450F does. And following the example of Yamaha’s production bikes, further enhancements to the ride are available through power modes and rider aids.
The development of the YE-01 Racing Concept will continue, and various tests will be performed with Yamaha’s Motocross Test Riders as the project evolves in preparation for the start of the MXEP championship.

YAMAHA'S 2025 OFF-ROAD COMPETITION RANGE
Having been at the forefront of off-road motorcycle racing for more than half a century, Yamaha’s successful racing heritage speaks for itself. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and insights gained from racing, the 2025 Off Road Competition range offers riders unmatched agility, power and control derived directly from a championship-winning legacy. These models cater to all riders, from seasoned professionals to amateurs and young riders, offering a range from the YZ450F to the legendary PW50.
THE 2025 YZ450F
A WINNING FORMULA
The ultimate mission of a racing motorcycle is simple: to win races. And the YZ450F is exactly that, the ultimate racing machine. Engineered with success in mind, the YZ450F is designed for victory. But it doesn’t stop there, as there’s also focus on delivering an exhilarating and enjoyable riding experience. The foundations the YZ450F is built upon is the application of the ‘winning formula’, recognising that riders progress at their own pace, which in turn adds to their motivation and ultimately leads to better results. For this reason, a rider-centric development approach has been adopted.
The 2025 YZ450F features a new rear suspension linkage to improve stability in a wide variety of riding circumstances. This, combined with revised rear suspension settings, contributes to an improved feeling in traction on corner exit, and lends to a more planted feeling when taking on jumps. To match the changes at the rear, the front suspension settings have also been updated, including extending the length of the spring to increase internal preload pressure, changing the layered valves from the current circular shape to a more triangular shape and increasing the size of the inflow oil holes to adjust oil flow. This results in a calmer front-end and increases the bike’s overall manoeuvrability. The front suspension changes have also been revised to provide the rider with a more consistent damping feeling across mixed terrains and riding situations, especially under braking and cornering.
New front engine mounts have been designed to improve the overall chassis balance, while matching the changes made to the suspension, altering the chassis rigidity to make it less susceptible to outside forces, ultimately improving stability. To further enhance the YZ450F’s renowned reliability under hard, continuous use, the clutch’s cooling efficiency has been improved, with the number of holes feeding oil to the clutch plates increasing three-fold from six to 18. The riding experience has also been refined, with a newly designed seat featuring a single layer of surface material with a seamless design, removing joins and welds, while new aluminium footpeg brackets enable a greater sense of unity with the machine through a firmer hold on the chassis.
A newly designed handlebar switchbox features a ribbed shape to help avoid riders pressing the wrong button while wearing gloves. And to decrease pressure on the rider’s right thumb, the 2025 YZ450F features a new type of throttle grip set. In line with the FIM’s new noise regulations for 2025, the YZ450F sound level is reduced by a new exhaust system. And by optimising the fuelling and ignition timing the controllability and throttle connection have been improved to provide a more precise riding character. New graphics complete the 2025 look.
THE 2025 YZ250F
A PROVEN WINNER
A favourite among riders looking for the ultimate combination of controllable power, agile handling and Yamaha durability, the YZ250F saw a significant update for 2024 including an all-new chassis derived from the YZ450F, plus revised geometry and a re-positioned headpipe, lowering the centre of gravity to enable more agile cornering and rapid directional changes.
Taken to no less than 15 victories in the MX2 class last year with riders Jago Geerts and Thibault Benistant , the YZ250F is a proven contender. This is further refined for 2025, with the new rear suspension linkage and corresponding suspension settings at both the rear and front improving traction on corner exit, taking the YZ250F’s renowned agile handling to the next level on the track.
As with the YZ450F, the exhaust system has been redesigned to produce a lower sound level in line with the FIM’s 2025 noise regulations. Furthermore, the power characteristics have been refined to produce a smooth and controllable response in the bottom end as well as a linear mid-range.
The switchgear and throttle housing have been refined to improve the rider experience, minimising the risk of hitting the wrong button while wearing gloves while new graphics complete the Icon Blue look.
THE NEW TÉNÉRÉ 700 & TÉNÉRÉ 700 RALLY
CHASE THE NEXT HORIZON
One of the most iconic names in motorcycling, Ténéré was born from the ultimate off-road challenge – the Paris Dakar Rally. For 2025, a new generation of Ténéré 700 is set to build on the Ténéré legacy. It remains an exciting machine inspired by Yamaha’s rally successes but is now even more accessible to a wider range of motorcyclists. Alongside a new standard Ténéré 700 comes a lower seat height variant with shorter travel suspension to create a motorcycle which appeals to riders who don’t want the tallest riding position while, conversely, the new Ténéré 700 Rally offers a true pumped-up off-road style ride and higher specification for the more discerning off-road enthusiast.
Adventure Design
The Ténéré 700’s silhouette is iconic, with a tall front and a compact tail. Drawing on decades of rally expertise, it delivers an engaging ride across all terrains. Moreover, the front end offers excellent visibility and protection with its large windscreen, while the slim mid-to-rear section allows space for rider movement, especially when standing off-road. Additionally, the updated 16-liter fuel tank is now placed lower for better balance and handling, enhancing ergonomics while keeping the classic Ténéré look. Finally, the new rally-inspired one-piece seat is long, narrow, and promotes greater freedom of movement than the previous two-piece design.
New Suspension Systems
The Ténéré 700’s inverted front forks are now fully adjustable, while the rear suspension features a rally-inspired shock with a revised progressive linkage for a smooth ride on any surface. Designed for extreme terrain, the Ténéré 700 Rally builds on the adventure-ready Ténéré 700, offering high-end KYB front forks with an extra 20mm stroke for 230mm front travel and 255mm ground clearance.
Switchable ABS and TCS at the touch of a button
Giving you ultimate control when riding off road, TCS and ABS may be switched off. TCS has two settings, on and off, and can be deselected via the menu on the TFT dashboard, while a large button at the side of the dash can be used to control the ABS settings. ABS Mode 1 is the default and activates the anti-lock system on both wheels, while Mode 2 deactivates ABS only on the rear. Mode 3 turns off ABS intervention and hands full braking control to you. These modes can be selected via the menu on the TFT dashboard or, for a faster and more convenient operation, a long press of the dedicated ABS button turns off the anti-lock system and TCS.
2025 MT-07

LIGHTER
New 41mm inverted forks adorn the front end of the new MT-07, offering a more planted front end feeling alongside a more modern and premium look. The upside down forks combine with the new chassis to deliver a more engaging ride, while the new die-cast aluminium triple clamp is a first on a large capacity Yamaha. These updates, along with the new design and SpinForged wheels not only enhance the agility of the MT-07, but also play a significant role in the overall weight saving goal. The new MT-07 weighs in at just 183kg – a full kilogram less than the previous model.
SHARPER
The MT-07 is a engaging motorcycle to ride and the design team has sought to convey that in the styling. Up front, the character is defined by the headlamp unit, with the compact LED lights deliberately styled to look like two staring eyes and give the MT-07 its distinctive and sharp aspect. Great care has been taken to package hoses and cabling to maintain a neat appearance through the compact, newly designed fuel tank and tail unit, which completes the aggressiveness of the MT-07.
SMARTER
Powered by the legendary 690cc CP2 parallel-twin engine, the fourth-generation MT-07 features an innovative acoustic amplifying system to really elevate the aural experience when riding, improving the connection between rider and machine. Additionally, appearing on the CP2 platform for the first time, the 2025 MT-07 features the YCC-T electronic throttle which has previously been utilised on larger capacity models in the MT-series. Adopting this ride-by-wire throttle technology allows the MT-07 to employ a whole suite of electronic rider aids, which enable customisation and aid enjoyment.
2026 WR250F and WR450F
The WR250F is an enduro machine designed to excel in almost any riding conditions. With a powerful 250cc engine, the WR250F delivers thrilling levels of top-end power and strong low-range torque, offering peak performance on slow technical sections as well as high-speed trails thanks to its agile handling.
The WR450F remains true to its reputation: light, strong and fast. It’s equipped with Yamaha’s potent next-generation lightweight 450cc reverse-head engine and a compact aluminium chassis.
For added peace of mind, both the WR250F and WR450F benefit from an industry-first anti-theft ECU lock function, accessible through Yamaha’s free Power Tuner app. For 2026, they both also feature a new blue seat with gripper surface, to help riders maintain their position under hard acceleration, and bold new graphics.

Developing the Advanced Motorcycle Stabilisation Assist System (AMSAS)
Controlling drive and steering forces for rider–machine unity and peace of mind for all motorcyclists
Last year, Yamaha Motor announced its Jin-Ki Kanno x Jin-Ki Anzen Safety Vision, which aims to create a world free of accidents together with our customers. The three pillars of the approach are: 1) Technology that assists with rider recognition, judgment, operation, and damage mitigation, 2) Skills, in which we encourage improvement of users’ riding skills, and 3) Connectivity, where the Cloud is used to provide feedback for safety initiatives. To highlight the Technology pillar in this issue, we spoke with the developers of the Advanced Motorcycle Stabilisation Assist System (AMSAS). As it is naturally linked to Jin-Ki Anzen, we asked about its aims and the value it offers.

A Rider Aid to Enhance Stability with Starts and at Low Speeds
Accidents involving motorcycles have been attributed primarily to recognition errors (10%), decision errors (17%), and operation errors (5%) on the part of the rider. Data also indicates that approximately 70% of motorcycle accidents occur within two seconds of the trigger leading to the accident. Based on these analyses of accident causes, Yamaha Motor’s development of rider aids is underway according to four vectors: assisted danger prediction, damage prevention and assisted defensive riding, assisted evasive riding manoeuvres, and damage mitigation.
Unveiled last year, AMSAS stabilises a vehicle’s attitude at low speeds by controlling drive forces and steering forces. “[Its most distinctive feature is] its approach to use an arrangement highly applicable to existing vehicles since it does not require any modifications to the frame,” says Project Leader Akitoshi Suzuki. The prototype system under development uses a production YZF-R25 for its platform and is equipped with a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) along with drive and steering actuators.
AMSAS is a rider aid that focuses on the instability a motorcycle experiences when starting off or when riding at low speeds, and works to enhance the stability of the vehicle during these moments. “When starting or stopping, the drive actuator fitted to the front wheel aids with stability, and from there up to about 5 km/h, the steering actuator attached to the handlebars takes over,” explains Suzuki. Through the coordination of the two, the mid-development AMSAS prototype vehicle can move at walking speeds without falling over, regardless of the skill level of the rider aboard.

A Technology Platform Adaptable to Various Mobility Applications
Yamaha Motor once made headlines when it unveiled the MOTOBOT—an autonomous motorcycle-riding humanoid robot—and MOTOROiD, a proof-of-concept experimental motorcycle equipped with AI and self-balancing technology. “The R&D for AMSAS began with the idea of bringing the technologies and know-how acquired through developing these two models to customers around the world,” says Suzuki.
Jun Sakamoto, who handles safety strategy at Yamaha, explains the value AMSAS aims to offer: “It’s to create conditions where the rider can focus more on operating their bike, so that everyone can enjoy that sense of being one with your machine. By providing an assist when the bike is more unstable and requires skill to operate, we want to deliver fun rooted in peace of mind to a wide range of riders.”
Yamaha has set a target of reducing the number of fatal motorcycle accidents to zero by 2050 and is ramping up efforts according to the three aforementioned pillars of Technology, Skills, and Connectivity. AMSAS is one technology with the potential to become a pivotal rider aid if used in conjunction with other technologies, like the radar-linked Unified Brake System—the first of its kind in the world—already deployed on the TRACER 9 GT+.
“With the base technologies in place now, we’re halfway to our goal of bringing AMSAS’ value to customers,” asserts Suzuki. He and the team have high aspirations for the technology: “From here on, we’ll be working to downscale the sizes of the various components and so on, as we want to develop it into a platform not just for motorcycles, but one also adaptable to a wide range of other personal mobility applications, like bicycles.”

Yamaha Motor Adopts Newly Developed Eco-Friendly Recycled Polypropylene as a Raw Material
Steps towards employing more carbon-neutral raw materials beginning with ASEAN market commuter models.
Yamaha Motor announced today that it has succeeded in developing a high-quality and environmentally friendly recycled polypropylene (PP) material which can be used for the main exterior bodywork for motorcycles. The Company will begin using the new raw material with the main 2023 commuter models for ASEAN markets.
This eco-friendly recycled PP material is made only from pre-consumer materials* with a traceable manufacturing history and no risk of containing environmentally hazardous substances, such as purging compounds** and scraps, generated in the production processes of petrochemical and molding manufacturers.
Resin materials are often used for the exterior bodywork of motorcycles, and PP materials account for about half of these parts, making it a major raw material for the Company. Yamaha Motor has been driving the development and the use of recycled PP in its products for some time now, but this newly developed material oers even higher levels of strength and quality looks compared to conventional recycled materials. It can also be used for areas requiring greater aesthetic appeal.
With the use of this eco-friendly recycled PP going forward, Yamaha Motor plans to raise the usage ratio of such recycled materials in motorcycles and gradually adopt the material in other product categories as well.
In line with the Yamaha Motor Group Environmental Plan 2050, Yamaha Motor is aiming to achieve carbon neutrality*** throughout all of its business activities—including its entire supply chain—by 2050. To realize this, the Company has set a goal of switching to 100% sustainable materials by 2050, and will expand its eorts to adopt green and other recycled materials for its products.
* Raw materials, which have not reached customers, and are supplied especially for their use in recycled nal materials
** Intermediary materials produced during resin synthesis
*** Emissions as a direct result of business activities (Scope 1 and 2) and emissions outside of these (Scope 3)

Yamaha Celebrates 25th Anniversary of the Revolutionary R1
Yamaha Motor Europe is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ground-breaking R1 with dedicated activities planned at the Yamaha Racing Experience (YRE). This year the YRE will be held at the legendary Mugello Circuit in Italy on the 21st and 22nd of July and will bring together some of Yamaha's biggest stars and enthusiasts to honour the remarkable legacy of the iconic machine.
Since its launch, the Yamaha R1 has redened standards of performance and innovation in the industry. Its 25-year journey of evolution is a testament to Yamaha's dedication to engineering excellence, which cemented the R1 as an icon of speed, power, and cutting-edge technology that revolutionised the sports bike market.
Making its grand entrance in 1998, at the core of the R1 was an innovative, compact, and lightweight 998cc, liquid-cooled, 20-valve, double overhead camshaft, four-cylinder engine which featured a ve-valve-per-cylinder head with redesigned valve sizes to boost torque and improved porting.
However, the real game-changer came from Project Leader Kunihiko Miwa's ingenious decision to create the world's rst vertically stacked gearbox in a production motorcycle, which resulted in a lighter, shorter engine that allowed for a longer swing arm, enhancing traction while maintaining a conventional sports bike wheelbase.
In addition to its innovative powertrain, the 1998 R1 introduced an all-new aluminium Deltabox II chassis, a heavily braced alloy swingarm, a Yamaha Monoshock shock absorber, and upside-down 41mm fully adjustable front forks developed in collaboration with O¨hlins.
This Grand Prix-inspired compact chassis and suspension setup oered unrivalled handling and manoeuvrability, setting a new benchmark for modern sports bikes, with the R1 producing an astonishing 150PS while weighing only 177 kg.
The R1's racing success was equally remarkable. At the prestigious Isle of Man TT, the bike made history in 1999 when David Jeeries stormed to the TT Formula One victory, in the process setting a record 121,235 mph lap, before going on to win the Senior race and the Production TT, conrming the R1’s racing pedigree to the world.
As Yamaha continued to rene and improve the R1, the 2000 model was launched with revisions to over 250 parts, including engine and chassis enhancements, more aerodynamic bodywork, and a new titanium muer.
Two years later, in 2002, Yamaha introduced the next generation of R1, led by Project Leader Yoshikazu Koike, which showcased a groundbreaking vacuum-controlled fuel injection system that provided rened power output and a new Deltabox III frame which was lighter and yet 30% stronger in torsional rigidity.
The year 2004 marked the arrival of the fourth generation R1 featuring new engine with larger bore and shorter stroke and closed-deck cylinder design, as well as fracture-split (FS) connecting rods, RAM-air intake, new under-seat exhausts, revised chassis geometry and a sharpened body design. For the rst time a production motorcycle was achieving the 1:1 power to weight ratio, thanks to the 180PS delivered by the completely new power train.
The R1 that was unveiled in 2007 boasted Yamaha's innovative YCC-T ride-by-wire throttle system and electronically controlled variable air intake funnels (YCC-I). Project Leader Makato Shimamoto also introduced a new four-valve design motor, slipper clutch, an improved Deltabox frame as well as improved brakes and suspension.
Building on its legacy, Yamaha launched the next generation R1 in 2009, featuring a ground-breaking crossplane crankshaft engine, directly derived from Yamaha’s MotoGP M1. This unique design reduced inertia forces and delivered a more linear throttle connection. Next to that, Development Leader Toyoshi Nishida introduced twin fuel injectors, a new lightweight aluminium Deltabox frame, cast magnesium subframe and cutting-edge electronics.
This model set the standard for handling and performance in the world of racing in 2009, highlighted by the incredible performance of American Ben Spies in WorldSBK, with the rookie recording 14 wins in 28 races to claim the 2009 title.
Reinforcing the competitiveness of the R1 that year, the YART Yamaha EWC team was crowned Endurance World Champions, while Leon Camier won 19 out of 26 races on his way to lifting the British Superbike Championship, and Katsuyuki Nakasuga clinched his rst Japanese Superbike Championship title.
Constantly looking to innovate, the 2012 R1 incorporated a traction control system that adjusted ignition timing, fuel delivery, and throttle opening to maintain optimal traction, enhancing drivability and fuel consumption.
To mark another ground-breaking step, the 2015 R1 was launched with a powerful 200PS engine and was the rst production motorcycle equipped with a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and electronic support systems – developed and proven in MotoGP. With a dry weight of 179 kg and a host of racing features the 2015 R1 has been a sensation. Project Chief Hideki Fujiwara also introduced the top-of-the-line, limited edition R1M which featured electronically controlled suspension, a lightweight carbon-bre cowl, and an onboard data logger to cater to the needs of serious racing and track day devotees.
The 2018 R1 model oered riders an even more extensive array of sophisticated electronics, and the addition of a Quick Shift System (QSS) with a blipper function for clutchless up and downshifting took the R1 and R1M’s performance on the street and track to the next level. The R1’s handling performance was rened with more progressive mapping on the Lift Control System as well as revised suspension settings – and the O¨hlins Electronic Racing Suspension on the R1M featured a revised interface for a more intuitive set-up.
For 2020, the R1 featured a CP4 engine with new cylinder head, camshafts and injection system – while the extensive electronic rider aids were rened to ensure even higher levels of controllability. A new EBM (Engine Brake Management) enabled the rider to select one of three dierent engine braking forces to match riding conditions – and the new Brake Control (BC) system gave added condence and control when cornering. With revised damping valves and a reduced spring rate, the R1’s 43mm KYB forks provided increased feedback for a more natural handling feeling. And for improved chassis performance and reduced lap times the R1M was equipped with a new rear shock and uprated O¨hlins ERS NPX gas pressurised forks.
Over recent years, the R1 and R1M have continued to evolve and remain a dominant force on the racing scene, with Pata Yamaha Prometeon Ocial WorldSBK Team’s Toprak Razgatliog?lu and Andrea Locatelli leading the charge in the FIM Superbike World Championship. The highlight of which was Razgatliog?lu’s 2021 WorldSBK Championship winning season that saw the Turkish rider rack up 13 race wins and 16 further podiums on his way to the title, while Italian Locatelli has grown from strength-to-strength on the R1 and has 11 podiums to his name so far.
On top of this, the R1 has demonstrated its prowess all over the world, with the Yamaha Factory Racing Team winning the historic Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race four times in a row between 2015-2018, plus Cameron Beaubier (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020) and Jake Gagne (2021, 2022) securing seven of the last eight AMA Superbike titles.
In 2021, Nakasuga would lift an incredible tenth Japanese Superbike Championship, with Tommy Hill (2011), Josh Brookes (2015), Tarran Mackenzie (2021), and Bradley Ray (2022) all being crowned British Superbike Champions on the R1.
As the legacy of the R1 continues to grow, Yamaha remains committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation with the introduction of the R1 GYTR. GYTR (Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing) is Yamaha’s in-house specialist racing component division that has been developing performance enhancing technology for over 40 years. Designed specically for track-day riders and racers who recognise Yamaha’s winning performance and premium quality, the 2023 R1 GYTR is faster and more precise than ever.

The R1 GYTR is available exclusively from GYTR PRO SHOPS.
To mark such a momentous anniversary, the Yamaha Racing Experience at Mugello will host the celebration activities for the R1, with the Tuscany circuit, renowned for its fast and challenging track layout that makes it a favourite among riders and fans alike, providing the perfect setting to honour such an incredible machine. Usually the event is exclusive to R1M customers, however the 2023 YRE will be open for the rst time to R1 owners to mark this momentous occasion, with two dierent options available to them to attend.
