What happened in that year? Setting the weight seems to be a novelty after most of the engineers dwell on engine performance. The story apparently started from a motorcycle Yamaha R1, eighteen years ago.
"R1 time first made in 1998, his gearbox the shaft of his parallel so that the length of the machine becomes shorter. So R1 after 1998, the weight distribution front wheel-rear wheel became more balanced because of wheel travel of its longer," explained M Abidin, GM Service and Motorsport Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing.
