Yamaha YZF R1 Jonathan Rea Replica Limited
Edition
.
From a press release issued by Yamaha Racing:
Crescent Yamaha, home of the Pata Prometeon Yamaha WorldSBK
Official Team, has unveiled a new limited-edition Jonathan Rea Replica YZF-R1,
to celebrate the six-time World Champion’s highly anticipated move to the squad
for 2024.
The liveries available are the iconic stealth “Winter Test”
colours – identical in design to the #65’s Factory Yamaha R1 WorldSBK revealed
by Rea himself ahead of his debut test in November 2023 – or the stunning Pata
Prometeon Yamaha “2024 Race Replica” option.
To celebrate the most successful rider in WorldSBK history
joining Yamaha and the Crescent team, just 65 units will be available in total –
each featuring a numbered limited-edition tank badge to match Rea’s personal
helmet designs and individual certification. Specific build numbers can be
reserved on a first-come, first serve basis from #1 through #65/65.
the JR Replica R1 has a meticulous, high-quality finish and
carefully selected performance upgrades alongside significant weight saving. The
pure cross-plane engine note is delivered via the WorldSBK replica Akrapovic
exhaust system, as improved handling comes from forged-aluminium Marchesini
wheels fitted with Pirelli’s SuperCorsa SP tyres, and industry-leading Ohlins
TTX rear shock, NIX Fork Cartridge Kit and adjustable steering damper.
Stopping power is enhanced via a Brembo race-spec master
cylinder, paired perfectly with Hel Performance’s braided brake lines, while
final drive is delivered via the same quality Gandini front and rear sprockets
and DID chain used by the Official WorldSBK Team. Every small detail has been
considered, from the race-specification GB Racing brake lever guard and complete
engine protection kit, to Pro-Bolt’s titanium fasteners, various GYTR chassis
parts, Race Seat’s ultra-grippy track-ready seat unit alongside a full-carbon
fuel tank extender, pillion seat cover and tail tidy.
An optional upgrade Braking Pack, featuring Brembo GP4RX
calipers and T-Drive race discs provides unparalleled stopping power for even
the most discerning track day enthusiast – with an additional Garage Pack
including GYTR front and rear stands, bike mat and bespoke JR Replica Capit bike
cover also available.
From 2025, Yamaha’s YZF-R1 will be developed exclusively for
track use in Europe – making this one of the last limited-edition R1 replica
machines available for road registration. After Crescent’s exclusive World
Championship R1 replicas sold out in less than 36 hours in 2021, high-demand is
expected for the new specification “JR” replica, which is available to be
shipped globally.
