That means smooth roll-on delivery out of the corners, with outstanding tractability, followed by very strong high rpm power. This uneven order does an amazing thing… it actually lets power build more smoothly. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each piston 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270° - 180°- 90°- 180°. " Back for 2010, the YZF-R1 is the only production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. The YZF-R1 was chosen for its MotoGP-inspired engine and chassis technology, and for its luxurious fit and finish. " The YZF-R1 garnered the prestigious award as the 2009 Motorcycle of the Year from Motorcyclist Magazine.
