The engine has forged aluminum pistons to take maximum advantage of the power features to take. Titanium intake valves are lightweight. A forced-air intake system is adopted to increase intake efficiency by using the natural airflow during riding to the air pressure in the air box. This contributes to outstanding power delivery characteristics in the high-speed range, while the design also helps to minimize intake noise. 



For 2011, the shell side is smooth for a clean look. And instead of the usual four bulb headlight design, the R1 has only two projector-type bulbs mounted closer to the nose of the bike.
