Motorcycle specifications Yamaha R1 1000 YART Suzuka 8H Replica Edition 2024 Foreword for Suzuka

YART has reason to be pleased with its season in the World Endurance Championship. The Austrian team finished second in the championship and secured a remarkable second-place finish at the Suzuka 8 Hours. The top spots in the Japanese race are usually dominated by local teams.
To cap off the season, Yamaha Europe and the specialist retailer YART GYTR Pro Shop have created a special series of R1s in the team’s colors, available in three trim levels.

The Suzuka 8 Hours replica Yamaha R1 can be ordered with a base (yet already well-equipped) specification, Evo, or Factory. The livery, featuring various shades of blue accented with deep black, already transports you to the paddocks. Then, the spec brings it one step closer to the R1 competing in the championship.

Some serious track gear... to start with.

The chassis takes center stage with the adoption of an Öhlins FGK 219 inverted fork paired with a TTX YA468 shock absorber from the same manufacturer, as well as a steering damper. Braking is handled by Brembo, via high-caliber GP4-RX calipers, more aggressive Z04 pads, T-Drive discs, and a Corsacorta master cylinder.

The Iwata hypersport gains agility with forged aluminum Marchesini wheels, which are fitted with Bridgestone V02 slick tires. When it comes to performance, the Crossplane engine can fully unleash its 200 horsepower with the addition of an Akrapovic exhaust and cool more efficiently with an MB radiator kit.

It also comes equipped with a series of parts (from GYTR, YART, or GB) that are highly desirable, if not essential, for track use: a racing ECU, a set of rear-set footpegs, a quick-change rear wheel system, an ABS bypass switch, carbon fiber fairing, engine guards, an MRA windscreen, a brake lever guard, programmable racing switches, and more.

Racing gear... to keep going.

This first stage is priced at 39,999 euros... excluding tax. However, shipping is free throughout Europe. All you need to do is visit a GYTR Shop (there are 3 in France) after placing your order on the YART website.
If you’re looking for something more high-end, the R1 Yamalube YART Yamaha EWC Official Team Suzuka 8 Hours replica is also available with higher-performance Öhlins and Brembo components in the EVO version, or take it up a notch with an engine upgrade bringing it to 220 horsepower in the Factory version.

Yamaha has announced that these magnificent machines will be produced in a limited series but has not specified the number. This is undoubtedly confidential given the prices and the technical expertise required to truly make the most of them. The previous batch, in 2022, consisted of only 20 units.
