Introducing Yamaha's Factory and Supported Teams Introducing Yamaha’s Factory and Supported Teams and Riders for 2021 February 19, 2021 – The racing history of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. began 10 days after the company was founded on July 1, 1955. Our first foray into international racing came in 1958 with an entry in the Catalina Grand Prix, and our first full Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix season followed in 1961. As such, the 2021 season marks our 60th anniversary of racing at the Grand Prix level. In those 60 years, we have worked with a star-studded lineup of riders in our racing challenge, notching up 511 wins in total (47 in the 125cc class, 165 in 250cc, 63 in 350cc, 120 in 500cc and 116 in MotoGP) with 38 Rider titles, 37 Constructor titles, and 7 Team titles in all. With the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, measures were put in place to prevent the spread so that various championships could go ahead, and Yamaha was able to compete in MotoGP as planned. YZR-M1s swept the podium at the Andalucia Grand Prix and Yamaha continued to put up strong results throughout the season, with 7 wins and 12 podiums in 14 races. The 2020 season also included Yamaha title wins in the premier JSB1000 class of the All Japan Road Race Championship, the MotoAmerica Superbike class, the 250SX West class in AMA Supercross and the 250MX class in the AMA Motocross Championship. The burden COVID-19 has placed on the world is expected to remain well into 2021, but Yamaha will continue its racing efforts toward furthering our three main principles of raising the value of the Yamaha brand, incorporating technologies and feedback from racing into our products, and promoting the healthy spread of motorcycle racing. As part of this, we will work in coordination with our bLU cRU amateur racing support programmes run by our subsidiaries in countries around the world to continue discovering and developing young, promising riders of various nationalities and helping them step up through the ranks of racing. For initiatives on a global scale, this year we will again run the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp, which is held in cooperation with Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Riders Academy, to develop riders who can compete at the international level, and again send riders to compete in the CEV Moto2 European Championship. The goal with these activities is to promote the spread of motorcycle racing in each region and train riders that will stand as leaders in their respective countries, while at the same time contributing to the motorcycle business of each subsidiary and raising the value of the Yamaha brand as a whole. YAMAHA MOTOR CO., LTD. Motor Sports Strategy Division Headquarters: 2500 Shingai, Iwata-city, Shizuoka 438-8501, Japan TEL: +81-538-37-4025 FAX: +81-538-32-3186 https://global.yamaha-motor.com/race/ Road Racing In Yamaha’s 60th season in the premier series of motorcycle road racing, a total of four riders on two teams will be aiming for the MotoGP Triple Crown of Rider, Constructor and Team titles in 2021. The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team will have a new lineup this year, as 6th place finisher Maverick Viñales, who took one win and two podiums last season, is joined by a new teammate in Fabio Quartararo, who took three wins and finished 8th overall last year. In 2020, the satellite PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team took six wins and eight podiums, and Franco Morbidelli remains with the team after finishing a personal-best season in the runner-up spot. Racing legend Valentino Rossi joins the Malaysia-based squad this year to compete in his 26th season of Grand Prix racing. The Pata Yamaha WorldSBK Official Team’s Toprak Razgatlioglu completed his best-ever season in 2020 with 4th overall. He will line up alongside 2020 World Supersport Champion Andrea Locatelli, who dominated the 600cc series with 12 wins from 15 races. Garrett Gerloff finished on the podium three times last season and will be lining up for the GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team once again. The American is paired with rising Japanese star Kohta Nozane, who took seven wins on his way to winning his first All Japan JSB1000 title last year. All four riders will be aiming to win the first title for Yamaha in the class since 2009. In the 2019-2020 Endurance World Championship (EWC), the YART Yamaha Official EWC Team finished as vice champion with two victories. Contesting on the YZF-R1, the team will feature the same trio of riders as last season, with Karel Hanika, Marvin Fritz and Niccolò Canepa looking to have another strong showing this season. The AMA/FIM North American Motorcycle Road Racing Championship (MotoAmerica) will feature the Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing team competing on YZF-R1s in the premier Superbike class with 2020 championship runner-up Jake Gagne and new addition Josh Herrin. Yamaha has won the title three years in a row and the team’s goal is to take that number to four in 2021. In addition to our racing campaigns, Yamaha Motor will continue our work to train up-and- coming riders in step with the bLU cRU rider support programmes run by our subsidiaries around the world. In cooperation with Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Riders Academy, the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp rider development project has been held since 2016 to train and develop young talent. Last year, its activities were put on hold due to COVID-19, but it will resume holding camps in 2021 after a yearlong absence. To date, 41 riders from 15 countries—mainly from Southeast Asia and Europe—have attended the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp and several have gone on to compete in international championships, demonstrating the success of the project. Indonesian rider and Master Camp graduate Galang Hendra Pratama is set to once again ride in the World Supersport Championship this season. Also, in tandem with the project, the VR46 Master Camp Junior Team competes in the CEV Moto2 European Championship to give promising riders the chance to advance their careers, and this season, Thai riders Peerapong Boonlert and Keminth Kubo will race for the team. The Asia Road Racing Championship is scheduled to get underway in June 2021, but the team and rider lineups are still being finalized. An official announcement will be made once they have been decided. 2 Motocross/Supercross The Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP team will represent Yamaha in the premier MXGP class of the Motocross World Championship. Runner-up the past two years, Jeremy Seewer will once again ride for the team alongside teammate Glen Coldenhoff, who finished 8th overall last year, and Ben Watson, who steps up from the MX2 class for his 450cc debut season in 2021. All three riders have their sights set on winning Yamaha its first title in the class since 2015 aboard their YZ450F machines. The Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 team will contest the MX2 class in 2021 with Jago Geerts, who finished 2nd overall last season, Maxime Renaux, last year’s 3rd place finisher, and European Motocross Champion (EMX250) Thibault Benistant. All three will pilot YZ250Fs. Having kicked off on January 16, the AMA Supercross Championship has already held several rounds. The Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing 450/250 Team is competing on YZ450Fs in the premier class with Aaron Plessinger, who ended last year in 11th, Dylan Ferrandis, who makes his 450cc debut with two 250SX West titles and one 250MX title under his belt, and Malcolm Stewart in his third season of 450SX action. In the 250SX classes, Justin Cooper and Colt Nichols remain with the team from last season, while two-time 250SX champion Jeremy Martin, Christian Craig, Jarrett Frye and Nate Thrasher join the team for 2021 to complete a six-rider lineup. Their goal is none other than to secure both the East and West 250SX titles this season on their YZ250Fs. The Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing team will also compete in the AMA Motocross Championship set to begin on May 30. Plessinger and Ferrandis will ride YZ450F machines in the 450MX class, while Cooper, Nichols, Martin, Craig, Frye and Thrasher will all contest the 250MX class on YZ250Fs. 3 Main Yamaha Race Teams for 2021 Road Racing Rider(s) Team(s) Machine MotoGP World Championship #12 Maverick Viñales Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP #20 Fabio Quartararo YZR-M1 #21 Franco Morbidelli PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team #46 Valentino Rossi World Superbike Championship #54 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu Pata Yamaha WorldSBK Official Team #55 Andrea Locatelli YZF-R1 #31 Garrett Gerloff GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team #3 Kohta Nozane Endurance World Championship #7 Karel Hanika #7 Marvin Fritz YART Yamaha Official EWC Team YZF-R1 #7 Niccolò Canepa MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship #32 Jake Gagne Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha YZF-R1 #2 Josh Herrin Racing 4 Motocross/Supercross Rider(s) Team(s) Machine MXGP World Championship #91 Jeremy Seewer #259 Glenn Coldenhoff Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP YZ450F #919 Ben Watson MX2 World Championship #193 Jago Geerts #959 Maxime Renaux Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 YZ250F #198 Thibault Benistant AMA Supercross: 450cc Class #7 Aaron Plessinger #14 Dylan Ferrandis Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing 450 Team YZ450F #27 Malcolm Stewart AMA Supercross: 250cc Class #6 Jeremy Martin #32 Justin Cooper #29 Christian Craig Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing 250 Team YZ250F #64 Colt Nichols #59 Jarrett Frye #91 Nate Thrasher AMA Motocross: 450cc Class #7 Aaron Plessinger Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing 450 Team YZ450F #14 Dylan Ferrandis AMA Motocross: 250cc Class #6 Jeremy Martin #32 Justin Cooper #29 Christian Craig Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing 250 Team YZ250F #64 Colt Nichols #59 Jarrett Frye #91 Nate Thrasher 5 2021 Rider Profiles Road Racing MotoGP World Championship #12 Maverick Viñales Nationality: Spanish Born: Jan.

    2018 Yamaha Motorsports Activities February 15, 2018—Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) is actively engaged in racing efforts all over the world in order to develop technologies and personnel under three main principles: raising the value of the Yamaha brand, acquiring advanced technologies and promoting the healthy spread of motorcycle racing. In MotoGP last season, Yamaha notched up its 500th Grand Prix victory since it began racing in the World Championship in 1961, with Maverick Viñales finishing the season in 3rd while Valentino Rossi was ranked 5th. Other achievements included the GMT94 Yamaha Official EWC Team lifting the Endurance World Championship (EWC) title at the series’ Suzuka 8 Hours finale, where the Yamaha Factory Racing Team also took victory for the third year in a row—a first for Yamaha. Starting in Asia since 2015, Yamaha has also continued its efforts to develop young riders by creating a tiered step-up structure with the goal of allowing aspiring riders, no matter where they are from, to make their way to the top of motorcycle racing. As a result, riders who showed promise in the All Japan Road Race Championship and the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) last season have begun entering European road racing categories, demonstrating steady forward progress. Under the three basic principles, Yamaha will once again engage in motorsports in 2018 with a global perspective, aiming to take numerous victories and communicate our “Revs your Heart” brand slogan.

Il nostro test e il commento dell’attore Francesco Montanari TRIUMPH DI ANDREA PERFETTI PROVA PROVA iamo andati in Valpolicella e in Lessinia per guidare le nuove Bonneville T100, S T120 e Street Twin 2021. Diventano Euro 5 e sono riviste nel dettaglio (freni, so- spensioni). La T100 riceve un motore con 10 cv in più. Il nostro test e il commento dell’attore Fran- cesco Montanari (lo trovate qui sopra, nel video). Le Bonneville 2021 non sono stravolte. E questa è già una bella notizia, perché la famigerata norma- tiva euro 5 non ha stemperato la bella erogazione dei twin inglesi e ha persino lasciato un deciso timbro allo scarico. In sella si tocca bene coi piedi e il peso non è mai un problema (a pieno carico si va dai 212 kg della Street Twin ai 236 della T120). I nuovi motori raf- freddati a liquido scaldano poco, un po’ di calore si avverte solo nella zona delle ginocchia quando si è fermi al semaforo. La Street si comferma una moto fatta bene, semplice e con un bel motore a cui non manca nulla per fare dei bei giri su strada: 65 cavalli bastano, la ciclistica è facile e sincera e la frenata sempre affidabile.

  • Kawasaki Ninja Zx-10R
    SPECIAL FREE ISSUE - N.472 - 15 GIUGNO 2021 KAWASAKI NINJA ZX-10R PROVA NOVITÀ MOTOGP SYM MV Agusta Brutale Graziano Rossi Maxsym 400 1000RR racconta Valentinoe P. 20 P. 28 P.84 PROVA KAWASAKI NINJA ZX-10R 2021: L’IMMORTALE Evoluzione, non rivoluzione: l’Euro-5 porta in dote affinamenti al motore e soprattutto alla ciclistica, suggeriti dal reparto corse, per restare efficace nella guida al limite. E allungare il numero di titoli in Superbike... KAWASAKI DI EDOARDO LICCIARDELLO PROVA PROVA iciassette anni. Tanti ne sono passati da quando Kawasaki ha… aderito alla D tendenza globale di aumento della ci- lindrata delle ammiraglie supersportive - pensionando de facto la ZX-7R - con la ZX-10R del 2004. Un modello che, pensando alle maxi, segnava una netta rottura con la precedente ZX- 9R, moto sicuramente prestante ma con troppe concessioni al turismo per poter puntare al verti- ce di quella categoria dove Yamaha YZF-R1 e Su- zuki GSX-R1000 si dividevano i successi di pub- blico e critica. Da allora è passata tanta acqua sotto i ponti. La Ninja ZX-10R si è costantemente evoluta, alter- nando evoluzioni prestazionali ad affinamenti che l’hanno resa più sfruttabile. Dal 2012, anno in cui la Casa di Akashi ha completato la ridefi- nizione dei suoi programmi agonistici - passati dal disimpegno in MotoGP del 2009 al rientro in Superbike con il team PBM - attraverso l’accor- do con la squadra spagnola Provec-Motocard, lo sviluppo ha beneficiato dell’esperienza in Super- bike. Nove anni e sette titoli mondiali dopo (uno con Tom Sykes nel 2013, e sei consecutivi con Jona- than Rea dal 2015 al 2020) eccoci qui, a commen- 4 MOTO.IT MAGAZINE N.
