A total of only 20 copies are issued (which are supposedly all reserved). The motorcycles will be offered at a price of 39,500 euros plus additional costs and will be delivered in March 2019. Prospective buyers can register for the special model with immediate effect. The YZF-R1 GYTR is designed exclusively for the racetrack and is therefore not street legal.
