Those are large numbers for a part that is essentially a length of pipe — and they arrive in the middle of the range, not at the top, which on a 200 PS superbike is where a rider on a circuit is actually driving out of corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.6 PS more at 7,250 rpm and 8.46 Nm at the same point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.0 kg against the standard 7.5 kg: 6.5 kg and 86.7 per cent less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight titanium construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned exclusively for the titanium Slip-On Line muffler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne part number covering twelve model years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo road approval — circuit use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwelve Years of R1\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha introduced the crossplane R1 in this form in 2015 and has kept the exhaust architecture through every revision since. One link pipe covers the R1 and the R1M from 2015 to 2026, which on a superbike platform is unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an owner that means a part bought for a 2016 track bike will move onto a newer machine unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMid-Range, Not Peak\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeak output rises only from 190.2 to 191.9 PS — barely anything. The 8.6 PS figure is the gain at 7,250 rpm, which is a different and more useful measurement: it says the curve is lifted where the engine is pulling rather than where it is finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would rather quote both numbers than the flattering one. A rider using this on a circuit will feel the mid-range and never notice the peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSix and a Half Kilograms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha's standard mid-section on the R1 weighs 7.5 kg, most of it catalytic converter and pre-muffler casing. Replacing it with a kilogram of titanium is the single cheapest way to take real weight off this motorcycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Needs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic designed this pipe exclusively for use with the titanium Slip-On Line muffler for the R1. It is not a standalone exhaust and will not work with the standard silencer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eR1 and R1M\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha's R1M carries carbon bodywork, Öhlins electronic suspension and a data logger, and none of that touches the exhaust route. Both machines take this pipe across all twelve model years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSixty Minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R1's mid-section is reachable from below with the bike on a paddock stand, and the belly pan comes off with a handful of fasteners. An hour is realistic and no special tools are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeep the Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard mid-section is a large part and an awkward one to store, but an R1 sold with its complete original exhaust in a box is worth noticeably more than one without.
