Yamaha revealed a new special edition livery for the YZF-R1, YZF-R7 and YZF-R3 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its Grand Prix racing debut. The special color scheme is white with red speed block graphics and a yellow front number plate plus gold-colored forks, wheels and Yamaha tuning fork emblems.

Absent from this 60th anniversary lineup is, of course, the discontinued YZF-R6. For those looking for a supersport-class track-only bike, Yamaha will offer a YZF-R6 GYTR model kitted out with a racing seat, GYTR ECU and wiring harness, full Akrapovi? exhaust and other specialty parts.

Yamaha also announced a number of returning 2022 models with updated graphics and paint, including the YZF-R1M, Bolt R-Spec, V Star 250, and XMAX.
