Motorcycle specifications YamahaYZF-R1 1000 Petronas Replica 2020 Quartararo spirit

In MotoGP, Yamaha started the season with victories. The M1 dominated, with passion and surprises. For it was a satellite bike that took the top step of the podium. It was the Petronas team's bike, expertly piloted by Frenchman Fabio Quartararo.

Yamaha Europe enlisted the services of Y.A.R.T and GYTR to create a limited edition R1 in the victorious team's colors. Petronas didn't achieve glory with its FP1 900 motorcycle, but now the brand is shining on the racetrack and on the fairing of this hypersport bike, prepared with care, passion and performance.

The production R1 already boasts a design very close to that of the MotoGP proto. With this replica, the mimicry is almost perfect. Racing parts, colors, sponsors, Michelin slicks - you'd think you were in the Yamaha SRT box.
This replica is also an opportunity for Yamaha to introduce winglets. These are small fins derived from MotoGP to improve aerodynamic efficiency and limit the intervention of electronics. their shape is very much inspired by that used in racing. In fact, with its racing hardware, this R1 is designed to heat up the stopwatch.

Don 't get your hopes up, you won't be able to show off like the Joe BAR Team or any of the other hypersports bikes on the market. Like the R1 GYTR or the GSX-R 1000 R Ryuyo, this fury is exclusively for the track. No headlights, no plates, no mirrors... But Öhlins suspension tuned for pure efficiency. The FGRT 219 fork is directly derived from the FGR 300 used in the Superbike championship. At its feet are Brembo GP4-RX brake calipers (a must) and T-Drive discs. Orders are given to a Brembo PR19 RCS Corsacorta master cylinder with remote control. At the rear, a TTX36 shock absorber provides optimum traction.

To save weight and liveliness, the R1 is fitted with Marchesini aluminum wheels. The fairing is in carbon, as are the side fins.
As for the engine, freed from street-legal constraints, it can express its ardor and song through a most appropriate Akrapovic line. With it, we can expect a weight saving of almost 6 kilos, or 60% less than the original line. Watts are also up, with 10 more horsepower at output and almost 1 mkg more power. What's more, a racing ECU will further boost the crossplane's potential.

between the lightened fairing, the exhaust and the various parts, the R1 Replica should easily weigh in at under 190 kilos fully loaded, with more than 210 horsepower under the right hand.
It's all about efficiency and adrenalin-fuelled action, with an MRA sport bubble, multi-position remote controls, Öhlins steering damper, rear wheel quick-change system, quick-draw throttle, titanium screws and bolts, GB Racing engine guards, racing radiator, racing pinion and sprocket set + 520 pitch chain, and pit stand.

On the other hand , you'll need to write a hefty check to take advantage of its virtues. You'll need an extra 46,000 euros. That'll give you one hell of a tool for the track, plus a welcome pack including a Petronas Yamaha SRT polo shirt, a KYT helmet and a VIP pass to the MotoGP round of your choice.
Commemorating the ^46th anniversary of the Malaysian company, this Yamaha PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team Replica R1 will be produced in a limited edition of 46. Reservations only at www.yart.site/
