The stringent EU5+ emission norms in Europe marks the end of the line for the Yamaha YZF-R1 as the Japanese bikemaker has decided to pull the plug on the road-going models of the R1 and R1M.

While the R1 was discontinued in India a while back, we did get our share of this iconic motorcycle and it did help shape the motorcycle scene in India - and the world as well.
