Let’s be honest—at least once in our lives, we’ve all watched those race-bred track monsters tearing around a circuit, deep in the heat of competition, and thought to ourselves, “Man, I’d love a shot at racing one of those.” However, the problem with machines possessing such capabilities would ever transcend beyond the track and into our daily lives.
However, in 2021, Crescent Yamaha, a UK-based racing operations and dealership network, sought to tackle that problem by introducing a replica of Yamaha’s championship-winning WSBK R1 raced by the eventual champion that year, Toprak Razgatlioglu. And only 1 of 21 ever made is now up for sale at a whopping price of £59,995. The sale will be handled through one of Crescent’s dealership networks in the UK.
What Is the Toprak Razgatlioglu Yamaha R1 Replica?
The Toprak Razgatlioglu Yamaha R1 Replica is a limited-edition Yamaha YZF-R1 world superbike replica, hand-built by Crescent Yamaha to commemorate the Turkish rider’s historic 2021 World Superbike Riders’ Championship victory.
Only 21 units were ever produced, and according to the company’s website, all 21 were sold out within 24 hours of announcement.
How does the livery match Toprak’s actual race bike?
The paint on the Replica replicates the 2021 Pata Yamaha with Brixx scheme, exact sponsor logos, and Razgatlioglu’s #54 race number on the fairing and seat unit.
What exclusive items come with the bike?
The Bike comes with a limited-edition badging, a technician-signed build plate with chassis ID, and a framed certificate of authenticity signed by Toprak Razgatlioglu and team boss Paul Denning.
What are the suspension and brakes like?
The replica gets a host of upgrades from Crescent’s race shop, such as Öhlins FGRT 219 upside-down forks and TTX36 rear shock pair with a factory-spec upper triple clamp. Braking department features a Brembo GP4-RX radial callipers, Corsa Corta master cylinder, and race-grade discs.
What type of engine does the Toprak Razgatlioglu Yamaha R1 Replica have?
The Bike is powered by a Yamaha’s signature 998cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline-four cylinder 16-valve crossplane crankshaft engine tuned specifically for the WorldSBK challenge. Additionaly the bike gets an upgraded Akrapovič titanium exhaust system, and GYTR ECU tech specifically homologated for competition.
