After several years with Kawasaki, Jonathan Rea moved to the Pata Prometeon Yamaha team for the 2024 World Superbike season. And although he has just arrived, there is already a version of the YZF-R1 in his honor that you can buy.
Yes, you read that right. It’s the Yamaha YZF-R1 Jonathan Rea Replica, which will be prepared by the Crescent Yamaha dealership. The base is the racing bike, but adorned with a wide range of extras from the manufacturer’s official catalog.
Buyers can personalize the bike, such as at the color level – it can either be the official decoration of this season or the one Rea used during the tests, combining black, gray, and white.
The GYTR Akrapovic exhaust, Öhlins NIX front fork, Öhlins TTX36 rear shock absorber, and Brembo 19 RCS brake pump are some of the elements common to all units of this special edition of the R1. Brembo GP4RX racing brake calipers and T-Drive discs are optional.
Only 65 units will be produced – Jonathan Rea’s race number is #65 – with a base price of £29,995 / €34.970. Those interested in buying can not only see the bike live on April 13 in Southampton but also talk to Rea. If you are interested in purchasing, you can check out this link.
