For those who have always dreamed of trying an R series model from the Yamaha brand, the Supersport Pro Tour offers the opportunity to try the 2018 range but also to ride your own motorcycle.
This year, Yamaha is renewing its Supersport Pro Tour event on Tuesday April 24 and Wednesday April 25 on the Bugatti circuit in Le Mans (72) as well as Saturday May 12 and Sunday May 13 at the Pôle Mécanique d'Alès (30). The Supersport Pro Tour will allow those registered to try two models from the four in the Yamaha Supersport range (limited to 2 tests per day and per person). From the light and agile YZF-R3 to the imposing YZF-R1M and the legendary YFR-R6.
With its 200 hp “crossplane” engine, the new YZF-R1M is the most advanced model in the supersport range and features technologies allowing any rider to reveal their full potential on the track.
The new-look YZF-R6, inspired by the latest generation of YZF-R1 and equipped with high-end electronics, takes on the characteristics of the “R-Series” with a more aerodynamic fairing and an aggressive look.
