Yamaha
YZF-R1 Special 60th Anniversary Edition Livery
Since
its launch, the R1 has proven its track potential in an impressive way,
clinching numerous victories in national and international Superbike,
Superstock and Endurance races like the 8h of Suzuka. As well as its
outstanding competition successes, the new R1 has also won a number of major
Superbike tests carried out by press, underlining its leading performance both
on the street and the racetrack.
With
its sophisticated M1-derived engine and chassis design – together with game
changing electronic control technology – the YZF-R1 enables every rider to
discover their true potential for the most exhilarating and rewarding
supersport riding experience.
To
celebrate 60 years of motorcycle design and manufacturing, the company will be
producing a limited edition YZF-R1 60th Anniversary model for 2016 that
perfectly captures the spirit of Yamaha. Featuring Yamaha’s iconic Yellow/Black
bodywork colours with the famous speedblock design and equipped with an
Akrapovic slip-on muffler, the YZF-R1 60th Anniversary model pays tribute to
the legendary riders and the winning Yamaha Racing bikes from our past. Yamaha
R1. We R1.
The
YZF-R1 60th anniversary was launched during the Bol d’Or race on Friday, 18th September,
and will be available in Yamaha dealers from December 2015 onwards. For 2016
the R1 will also be available in Race Blu, adopting a subtle graphic update,
and in Racing Red.
