R1 GYTR PRO 25th Anniversary Limited Edition: The Ultimate Track Weapon

In celebration of 25 years of the iconic YZF R1, Yamaha Motor Europe proudly presents the R1 GYTR PRO 25th Anniversary Limited Edition - a masterpiece representing the pinnacle of track performance. 

This limited edition machine offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the thrill of riding a world championship-winning motorcycle, built with precision and expertise by Yamaha Motor Research and Development Europe (YMRE) racing engineers.

A Legacy of World Championship-Winning Performance

At its core, the R1 GYTR PRO 25th Anniversary Limited Edition is crafted by the same racing engineers responsible for developing the illustrious R1 WorldSBK machine that has secured multiple world championships. 

This unique expertise and experience have now been available to Yamaha customers through the extraordinary range of GYTR PRO performance parts.

Unleashing WorldSBK Performance for Enthusiasts

The GYTR PRO performance parts elevate the R1 to a realm close to that of a world superbike racer. 

Starting with an ultra-strong and lightweight carbon rear subframe designed to house a modified fuel tank with a lower centre of gravity and the sophisticated Magneti Marelli ECU, every component has been carefully engineered for optimal performance.

The Öhlins FGR front forks and TTX rear shock with pneumatic preload adjuster provide precise and predictable handling, mirroring the suspension setup used by Yamaha’s professional road racers. The addition of an underslung swingarm, specially developed for Yamaha’s WorldSBK race program, enhances maximum lean angle and rear grip, while Brembo braking components front and rear deliver unparalleled stopping power.

The carbon fibre bodywork, designed with the screen, ensures optimal aerodynamics for maximum on-track performance.

Harnessing Advanced Technology with GYTR PRO Electronic System (GPES)

For those seeking the ultimate in engine control and data acquisition, the R1 GYTR PRO 25th Anniversary Limited Edition offers the GYTR PRO Electronic System (GPES) option. 

Developed by YMRE for WorldSBK and the FIM Endurance World Championship, this cutting-edge package comes with state-of-the-art rider aids. 

Features such as anti-wheelie, launch control, engine braking management, adjustable fueling, and traction control provide unrivalled power and precision.

A Labor of Passion and Expertise

Creating such a distinctive range of performance parts involved years of development at the highest level of racing. Yamaha WorldSBK riders Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Andrea Locatelli, alongside test rider Niccolò Canepa, played vital roles in this process, ensuring that the R1 GYTR PRO 25th Anniversary delivers unparalleled track performance. 

The illustrious Yamaha Ambassador, and nine-time World Champion, Valentino Rossi, received a specially equipped R1 with select GYTR PRO performance parts during the unveiling of the GYTR PRO concept at EICMA.
