One of the brightest stars from this year's EICMA motorcycle show in Milan as to be the all-new 2015 Yamaha YZF-R1. Back in 1998, the original R1 was a big departure for Yamaha, a compact machine that changed perceptions of what a superbike could be. Will the all-new R1, which has a renewed emphasis on track performance, sustain that legacy? At the EICMA show, we had a chance to chat with Yamaha's Derek Brooks about the bike, which was developed with help from riders Valentino Rossi and Josh Hayes.
