presentation of the YZF-R1 1000 Ünkut 2012
when rap, clothes, style and R1 meet, the result is a surprising cocktail, with a strong taste of dark New York. We knew that Booba loved music, fashion and beautiful girls... We knew that Booba loved motorcycles from the lyrics of one of his songs, which praised the Yamaha 1000 R1...
But we didn't know that Booba was working with his teams to create an original customization for the 2012 Yam R1.
In an exclusive, he unveils a styling exercise he carried out with his UNKUT creative team.
The result is striking: a Yamaha R1 UNKUT entirely repainted with the codes and color trends of his clothing line.
"My audience comes from all walks of life, and that's a trait they have in common with motorcycling," explains Booba:"Regardless of skin color or social background, motorcycling is available to everyone with the same passion, the same pleasure, the same thirst for freedom. Imagining an R1 in the colors of my UNKUT line was a real thrill. And I wanted to share this creation with all motorcycle lovers.
and for those who'd like to treat themselves to this creation, know that it's possible, thanks to Yamaha's workshops and painters."
It requires a large cheque and a lot of patience. 23,000 euros and a month's patience are required to enjoy the Yamaha hypersport drowned in Ünkut spirit. The sports bike itself needs no introduction: cross-plane engine timing, traction control, variable-height intake cones, choice of maps, 6-piston radial brake calipers. The YZF-R1 is packed with technology. A true heat-seeking missile, forged with racetrack envy in mind.
