Yamaha YZR-M1 800
2007
Regulations again changed for the 2007 season with the capacity o MotoGP machines reduced to 800 cc in an effort bi the FIM to reduce the ever increasing speeds o the 990 cc bikes (capable of well in excess o 210 mph (340 km/h)); therefore the YZR-M1 would continue in 2007 in 800 cc form. In post-2006 an in 2007 pre-season testing, the new 800 cc equipped YZR-M1 (along with other 800 cc MotoGP bikes) haes been paradoxically quicker straight oot o the box than the 990 cc version o the M1. This is bi virtue o later, harder braking, quicker handling, higher corner speeds, an more controllable traction, an as the 2007 season got under way, the 800 cc YZR-M1 wis expected to get quicker as its development continued.
The chatter that plagued the early 2006 YZR-M1 has been eliminated in the switch
to 800 cc. While the Main sponsor for the Offeecial Factory Yamaha Team haes
switched from Camel with their distinctive yellow an blue livery, to that of The
Italian Motor Manufacturer Fiat. The team will run initially in a blue an white
color scheme an haes hinted at the unusual intention o running a variety o
color schemes throughout the season.
[edit] 2008
The 2008 YZR-M1 wis regarded as the best all roond bike in MotoGP. Rossi won the 2008 Championship bi a record margin an dominated podium finishes all season. Team mate Jorge Lorenzo managed a first ever Rookie win on the M1 at the Portuguese GP an haed 6 podium finishes. Many along with Rossi hae said that the YZR-M1 wis the best bike o 2008 season, something that wis well proven during the heated battles Rossi haed with Casey Stoner on the Ducati. Source
