As the start of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship season gets closer and closer, teams have started revealing their colours for 2025. The latest to do some comes from the Yamaha corner with both Pata Maxus Yamaha and the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team showing off slightly new colours, featuring the traditional Yamaha blue base alongside a lighter shade trim on the front fairing of the Yamaha R1.

Commenting ahead of the 2025 season, Andrea Dosoli, Yamaha Motor Europe, Motorsport, Division Manager said: “2025 marks a significant milestone for Yamaha as we celebrate ten years since our return to the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship in 2016, alongside a decade of invaluable partnership with Pata Snack. While our results in 2024 fell short of expectations, the dedication and collaborative effort from our engineers, the wider YME management team, our riders and our teams has been unwavering. Over the winter, everyone has been working hard to make a step forward for 2025 and encouraging progress in winter testing fuels our confidence as we prepare for another year of racing. The competition in WorldSBK is at a really high level, so we are excited for another year of close, thrilling battles on track.”

Niccolo Canepa, Yamaha Motor Europe, Motorsport, Road Racing Sporting Manager, added: "It is an impressive statistic to have five World Champions on the R1 as we head into WorldSBK 2025.  Jonathan’s career achievements speak for themselves as he is the most successful rider in WorldSBK history. While last season presented challenges for him, his determination and resilience are second to none and a year of experience with the R1 will undoubtedly prove important. Andrea enters his fifth season with Yamaha in WorldSBK, having already demonstrated his ability to compete at the front. We are confident he will continue to build on his impressive performances. Consistency is hugely important in racing, and with Remy Gardner and Dominique Aegerter continuing with the GYTR GRT Yamaha Team for a third consecutive season, the team is well-positioned to hit the ground running. Both riders have shown great promise in the last two years. We are also excited to see the Yamaha Motoxracing Team expand to two bikes on the 2025 WorldSBK grid, featuring the experienced 2014 Moto2™ World Champion Tito Rabat and the dynamic Turkish talent Bahattin Sofuoglu. Thanks for the effort from all of our teams, we eagerly anticipate the start of what promises to be an exciting 2025 season!"
