The end of an era and an exclusive special edition model
2025 will be a momentous year for fans of the Yamaha YZF-R1, as Yamaha has announced that this iconic model will no longer be sold in its road-legal form in the EU. The current version complies with Euro 5 standards, but there will be no adaptation to the stricter Euro 5+ regulations. This marks the end of the YZF-R1’s history as a road motorcycle, which has thrilled motorcycle enthusiasts since its introduction in 1998.
Alongside this announcement, however, Yamaha has unveiled a special feature: the limited edition Jonathan Rea replica of the YZF-R1. This model, inspired by Rea’s involvement in the 2024 World Superbike Championship, not only represents a racing motorcycle, but is also a collector’s item with only 65 examples available worldwide.
Detailed features of the Jonathan Rea replica
The Rea replica is more than just a visual replica of Jonathan Rea’s racing bike. It features numerous high-end components that take its performance and aesthetics to a new level. Equipped with an Akrapovic titanium silencer, forged aluminum rims from Marchesini and a new type of Öhlins suspension, including TTX rear suspension and NIX fork cartridge set, this motorcycle offers an exceptional riding experience.
Additional details include an adjustable steering damper, a racing brake pump from Brembo and high-performance brakes with steel flex lines.
Pricing and availability
For true Yamaha enthusiasts and lovers of racing replicas, the Jonathan Rea replica is available at a price of 29,990 British pounds (approx. 35,000 euros, 38,000 US dollars). This sum may seem high at first glance, but it reflects the value and exclusivity of this limited special edition model. Extended brake system upgrades and an additional garage package, which includes stands and a special motorcycle cover, are available as options.
A look into the future
Although the YZF-R1’s days on public roads are numbered, Yamaha will continue to develop the model for racing. The YZF-R1 will remain an integral part of Yamaha’s commitment to racing, particularly in World Superbike and other national championships. This ensures that the passion and innovative spirit that made the R1 famous will live on.
