Unrivalled heritage, dominant performance
Yamaha’s total commitment to racing is second to none. The company has been racing and winning ever since it was founded in 1955, and in 2021 Yamaha reinforced its status as one of the most committed brands in MotoGP, FIM Superbike World Championship and FIM Supersport World Championship – as well as underlining its number one position in many national championships including BSB.
Throughout its history Yamaha has continued to devote energy and resources into racing, to support the passion of track-oriented riders all around the world from the bLU cRU series to World Championships, and the benefits of this philosophy can be seen in the latest R-Series Supersport bikes. Each one of these high performance models has been developed using the most advanced engine and chassis technology that was originally tried and tested on Yamaha’s factory race bikes. This constant technology transfer from track to street is what gives every R-Series the edge over the competition.
Yamaha win 5th consecutive WorldSSP title
As well as running its own race teams, Yamaha has a long history of promoting the interests of national and international supersport racing series – as well as supporting racers and teams in WorldSSP. This factory backing has been rewarded once again with Dominique Aegerter winning the 2021 WorldSSP Championship on board his Ten Kate Yamaha WorldSSP Supported Team Yamaha R6 – the fifth consecutive year that Yamaha machinery has won this prestigious title, dominating the series since the new R6 was introduced back in 2017.
For 2022 Yamaha will continue its total commitment to supersport riders and teams at every level with the production of the R6 RACE and the R6 GYTR – two exclusive track machines with class-leading performance.
