Ever had to live through trying to order an item only to be told that the item has sold out? That’s what interested buyers of the Yamaha YZF-R1M are feeling right now because the bike many believe is the unicorn superbike of the year has sold out throughout Europe. Good luck trying to score a YZF-R1M in that region; you’ll probably have better luck trying find the Heart of the Ocean in the bottom of the Atlantic than getting the special edition bike.
The speed by which racers and track riders scooped up the YZF-R1M isn’t that surprising considering that interest in the bike shot through the roof as soon as it was launched in Australia in January 2015. Yamaha even had to take special measures on the bike’s ordering system, launching an exclusive online registration that still didn’t do much to quell the demand for the bike. And so, after less than two months of being in the market, the YZF-R1M has officially reached “sold out” status in all 20 European countries that Yamaha has a presence in.
For those lucky enough to score a YZF-R1M, they get a bike that really lives up to its billing as the crown jewel of Yamaha. It has everything that its slightly less special brother, the YZF-R1, has, including state-of-the-art electronics, carbon fairings, and an advanced electronic suspension system. Would-be owners of the YZF-R1M will get all of that to go with an opportunity to Yamaha’s top racing staff led by former MotoGP racer Colin Edwards at the upcoming Yamaha Racing Experience events in July.
I know what you’re thinking: if you missed out on the Yamaha YZF-R1M, you’re probably pulling your hair right now. That or you’re cursing under your breath. Either way, we feel your pain. We really do.
