    Yamaha Japan at the moment sells this Race Base mannequin known as the YZF1000W. A brand new homologation itemizing with the FIM could point out {that a} new 2023 YZF-R1 is on the best way too. (Yamaha/)

    Rumors have been rife {that a} new Yamaha R1 is heading for the market in 2023, after a brand new designation appeared on an inventory of competitors machines authorized by the FIM—however the proof isn’t as clear-cut because it first seems.

    The speak began when the FIM revealed an inventory titled “Competition Vehicles (Motocross/Dual Purpose) – All Manufacturers” on June 15 which bafflingly included a list for a Yamaha YZF1000W as a 998cc, 2023 mannequin yr roadrace bike. Its presence on that record is confounding for a number of causes; firstly is the truth that it’s a self-proclaimed roadrace bike, not a motocross or dual-purpose bike. If something, the bike was on the fallacious record. Perhaps in recognition of that error, the record was swiftly faraway from the FIM’s web site, leaving solely a earlier model that lacked any reference to the YZF1000W.

    The title YZF1000W isn’t instantly acquainted. In Yamaha’s present highway vary, the YZF-R1′s mannequin designation is YZF1000, whereas the R1M is YZF1000D. There’s no YZF1000W, at the least within the US.

    However, it’s not a brand new title. In Japan there’s already a YZF1000W in the marketplace. In truth, it has been accessible for a number of years. It’s often known as the “YZF-R1 Race Base” and is obtainable purely for observe use and targets racing groups. Compared to the conventional R1, the YZF1000W comes with out headlights, working lights, mirrors, a pillion seat or passenger pegs, or a rear fender. The bodywork is black and lacks any graphics, as groups are positive to repaint it or, extra probably, exchange it solely with race bodywork. The image that Yamaha makes use of for example the bike—proven right here—isn’t really fairly consultant of the true factor, because it exhibits parts like lights and mirrors that are lacking on the true YZF1000W.

    Buyers of the YZF1000W Race Base bikes additionally get a race-only ECU and wiring harness, particularly for circuit use, and since the bike lacks any road-going tools it’s round $800 cheaper, earlier than tax, than a showroom R1 in Japan.

    While the FIM itemizing for the 2023 YZF1000W disappeared from its preliminary place, the bike remains to be current on one other doc revealed on the FIM web site. This time it’s extra suitably on a “List of Imported Competition Specific Models,” which additionally consists of the YZF600W, which is Yamaha’s Race Base model of the YZF-R6.

    The VIN marking that’s listed on the doc—JYACN07C—displays the competitors nature of the bike. A road-going, current-generation R1′s VIN begins JYARN65: “JYA” identifies it as a Japanese-made Yamaha, “R” means sportbike, “N” means it’s between 751cc and 1,000cc, and “65″ is the sequential project number of the current R1 (sometimes known as the “RN65″ as a result—the previous generation was RN49, the one before that was RN32).

    The Race Base model’s VIN also starts JYA, but it’s followed by “C” for competitors, then “N” for 751cc–1,000cc, and the venture quantity is “07,” suggesting that is the seventh era of a competition-only mannequin to be developed in that capability class.

    It’s fascinating that the FIM lists the YZF1000W as a 2023 mannequin, nevertheless it’s not essentially a sign that the highway going 2023 R1 might be considerably completely different to the present design. In earlier years, Race Base variations of the R1 have been introduced in Japan within the September earlier than they attain manufacturing, with order books opening on the similar time, however when a brand new or up to date avenue mannequin is launched the Race Base model sometimes seems after the showroom model.

    In phrases of timing, the present “RN65″ R1 was launched for the 2020 mannequin yr, the “RN49″ was the 2017–2019 model, and the “RN32″ ran from 2015–2016. That suggests an replace is due for 2023, however the YZF1000W’s FIM paperwork aren’t essentially proof that it’s positively taking place. We’ll maintain our fingers crossed.
