Crescent Yamaha, home of the Yamaha WorldSBK Official Team, has unveiled a new ULTIMATE EDITION WorldSBK Winter Test Replica YZF-R1.

The iconic stealth “Winter Test” colourway is identical in design to the #65’s Factory Yamaha R1 WorldSBK revealed by Jonathan Rea himself ahead of his debut test in November 2023 – and as part of the ULTIMATE EDITION the bar has been raised further, adding OVER £3K OF EXTRAS to the spec.

This WINTER TEST REPLICA R1 has a meticulous, high-quality finish and carefully selected performance upgrades alongside significant weight saving, to bring you the ultimate affordable road / track R1, along with each bike comes with a signed certificate by the legend Jonathan Rea and team principal and owner of Crescent Motorcycles Paul Denning, to give this bike the right credentials it deserves. 

The pure cross-plane engine note is delivered via the WorldSBK replica Akrapovic exhaust system, as improved handling comes from forged-aluminium Marchesini wheels fitted with Pirelli’s SuperCorsa SP tyres, and industry-leading Ohlins TTX rear shock, NIX Fork Cartridge Kit and adjustable steering damper.

Stopping power is enhanced via a Brembo race-spec master cylinder and calipers, paired perfectly with HEL Performance’s braided brake lines, while final drive is delivered via the same quality Gandini front and rear sprockets and DID chain used by the Official WorldSBK Team. Every small detail has been considered, from the race-specification GB Racing brake lever guard and complete engine protection kit, to Pro-Bolt’s titanium fasteners, various GYTR chassis parts, Race Seat’s ultra-grippy track-ready seat unit alongside a full-carbon fuel tank extender, pillion seat cover and tail tidy.

From 2025, Yamaha’s YZF-R1 will be developed exclusively for track use in Europe – making this one of the last limited-edition R1 replica machines available for road registration.
