Soooo, there has been people talking about yamaha using their prototype 3-cylinder cross-plane crankshaft engine in their upcoming R1 AND R6.
But it seems that Yamaha will not be using the 3-cylinder engine in the 2014 Yamaha R1.
Here are some picture of the 2014 Yamaha R1 caught testing on the track. I found this info from the R1 forum, MCN, and another European site.
I hope this isn't true, I would REALLY LOVE to see a 3-cylinder, cross-plane crankshaft 1000cc machine.
