Yamaha will showcase its brand new 2015 model YZF-R1 at MOTO EXPO in Melbourne on 28-30 November, alongside a host of updated new motorcycles to debut at the show.

The R1 is scheduled to officially break cover at the EICMA show in Milan, Italy, on 6-9 November, before making its first Australian appearance at MOTO EXPO later in the month.
