YZF R1 Archives

Yamaha has announced the all-new R1 GYTR for the European market. Though the track-exclusive motorcycle looks similar to the stock YZF-R1, it gets a host of upgrades and parts from GYTR for faster lap times around a race track. Genuine Yamaha Technologies Racing (GYTR) built this track-only R1. The same firm also builds bikes for Yamaha racers to practice on. The firm also sponsors the GRT Yamaha WSBK team as well as Yamaha Austria Racing Team. Interested buyers can purchase the R1 GYTR exclusively via GYTR Pro Shops, which are all located abroad. From now on, Yamaha will also introduce various GYTR Pro race parts. In total, GYTR will develop over 400 parts. Yamaha will announce pricing for all these parts later this year. 2022 Yamaha YZF-R1 GYTR Track Bike - Highlights The track-only bike gets a host of additional parts.
