Yamaha Europe has joined hands with Yamaha Austria Racing Team (YART) to introduce 46 limited edition, and individually numbered Petronas Sepang MotoGP team replica Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycles. The limited edition bikes have been commissioned to celebrate 46 years of Petronas, the satellite squad's title sponsor. Commissioned by YART, supported by Yamaha Europe and Petronas Yamaha Sepang Racing Team, the replica R1 features a light and durable Genuine Yamaha Technology For Racing (GYTR) carbon fairing kit and MotoGP winglets to the Petronas Yamaha SRT livery, which is supplied by the same company that paint the team's MotoGP race machines.
The bike is also equipped with high-performance Ohlins race suspension, including the FGRT 2 road and track front fork, TTX rear shock, a race specification steering damper and also comes fitted with a factory kit exhaust. The Petronas Yamaha SRT Replica also features the latest quick-change system, to make replacing the rear wheel quicker following a tyre change, as well as racing footrests, ECU and quick action throttle, all essential components on Yamaha's racing machines. Brakes are by Brembo, including high-quality GP4-RX calipers and T-Drive discs.
