It was inevitable that Rossi has finally retired: a tribute from Yamaha itself. At the past EICMA, during the One More Lap event, the Valentino Rossi brand donated an R1 GYTR VR46 Tribute.
The R1 GYTR VR46 Tribute got quite a few parts from the 2022 GYTR catalog: slipper clutch, radiator kit, clip-ons, adjustable footpegs, Akrapovic Factory Line exhaust line, Marchesini rims…
Now someone like Rossi is just a little more used to it, so Yamaha also threw in some spec parts from the WorldSBK: Factory tank (22 liters), carbon subframe, adjustable T-piece, carbon fairing, ECU REX 140 Marelli Includes wiring harness, Öhlins steering damper, Factory Öhlins fork and shock, Brembo brakes and Chrome Lite GPS dashboard. The livery is by Rossi’s helmet designer and friend Aldo Drudi.
As far as we know, the R1 GYTR VR46 is not for sale as a production model for the time being – given the specs, the thing would also be quite expensive – but nothing prevents you from shopping in the GYTR catalog at your dealer to get your own R1. pimp. After all, it’s almost Christmas…
