Yamaha formally presents Eugene Laverty, Marco Melandri and the R1 it will campaign in the 2011 World Superbike Championship.

The Japan based motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha seems so have got itself inspired by the Honda VFR 1200F sports tourer and based on this inspiration seems to have plans to include the electronically controlled twin clutch in the flagship R1 superbike.
The technique though that Yamaha plans to use will be different from the one that Honda has employed. Unlike Honda, where one input shaft passes through the other, Yamaha plans to use two input shafts that are half the length of a normal gearbox’s single shaft. Also, the two clutches will be placed on either side of the vehicle for perfect weight distribution.
As per Yamaha, the new twin clutch gearbox are enough compact to provide smooth transition during gear changes, and at the same time not affect the balance of the bike after mounting the gearbox.

Yamaha has officially unveiled the bike it hopes will take back the World Superbike Championship crown in 2011.

With just over a week to go before the start of the new season, Yamaha revealed its colours for 2011 with the most notable change being the lack of a title sponsor, previous backers Sterilgarda having decided not to stay on for this year.

Reverting to a recognisable corporate blue, white and black colour scheme, the look is expected to be similar to that of its World Supersport and MotoGP efforts as well.

Marco Melandri and Eugene Laverty have been charged with challenging for the WSBK title, less than two years after Ben Spies secured the manufacturer's first crown in 2009. The team will also have a new manager in Andrea Dosoli.

The 'finished' R1 will be on track for the second and final WSBK pre-season test at Phillip Island next week, before the season gets underway at the same circuit on 25th February.
