Rea takes to the circuit on the Yamaha R1 for the first time! 🔵 |  

Really wish him and all the riders on new machinery all the best and that they feel comfortable and can get better results next year on them

Love the R1, one of the most exciting transfers for 2024.

Going to miss Rea, as I'm a Kawasaki rider, and now he's on the competion's bike. He's still a good fellow. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

cant wait for the next season

That bike sounds amazing!

Can't wait to see the results.

Man it’s good seeing him on a R1! Best of luck Johnny! Another challenge and another chapter in a storied racing career. Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings.

Both motogp and wsbk will be interesting next year

THE REA FIRE HAS BEEN RELIT 😁Fantastic to see the smiles and enthusiasm from the 6X world champ,the bike looks sick,I seen the happiness in his face when he looked at the dash 😎let the hard work being 😊

Be another fantastic year with the riders changing teams and machinery,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland

Welcome to Yamaha legend ❤

Rea needed a new challenge, I think the Kawasaki was not moving forward enough for him! I believe he will be right in the mix on the R1! Go Johnny GoGoGo!

a sight to behold. wishing Rea all the luck in the world :)

Looking great j rea and just one step at a time ..god is with you and do your best to know the limet so you the strengths and weaknesses

Looking so so good. Match made in heaven this. buzzing for you JR

Bonne chance à lui dans sa nouvelle équipe !!!

When testing a new bike it is important to check the balance of the bike with a standup wheelie. 😂😂🤣 Also, good practice for Rea’s first podium celebration which won’t take long for him to get.

It's strange to see Rea full of Yamaha logos while they didn't let Toprak test his new bike with BMW logos 🤷‍♂

JR on a R1. Dreams ❤️

Must admit its weird not seeing Kawasaki Green but this is the future! All the best!

yeah this is yamaha pata the ones that didn't allow Toprak to test the BMW after all he did?

Yami sounds soo fckin goooooooddddd

Rea in blue. The sun just rose in the west & set in the east. All the best Mr. Rea 🏍️✌🏼🏍️

Rea in the Yamaha Box. Surreal to see it XD. Hope he can perform with the R1!!

NEW TOY DAY....big smiles...he gonna be super fast

Crossplane is just beautiful sounding

No one could've ridden the zx10r faster, I hope JR can win again on the R1 👍 the weight limits should level the bikes and riders more.

Good luck ❤

I am not a Johnny Rea fan. But I have respect for his skills. Let me say this, EVEN IM HAPPY for him. HE GOT THE F off that Kawasaki!😂 I truly feel he's gonna do better next year.👍 This is only gonna make the racing even better.

Melihat rea saya melihat Toprak versi pertama 😊😊

Why Johnny, Why ??? You used to be Kawa Hero, our Hero !!! Wish you all the best mate on your new venture !!!

Looking good

Good job 👍🏻

I have been on a R1 since 2015 and have never had any desire for a Kawasaki no matter how many championships they won 😎

Te deseo lo mejor en tu nueva escudería . Suerte campeón 👍👍👍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍

My hero

Next year, I will reinstall pay TV to find out how fast Toprak, Ianonne, and Rea are on their new bikes... Rea's bike doesn't have any blue on it, by the way.😅😅

Hope he does well on it certainly has the talent

That color combo looks kick ass

Rea

Boa sorte Rea

So Yamaha tested with Rea but veto’d Toprak testing with BMW? 🤨

Éxitos con Yamaha Jonathan

excellent…

the legend meets the legend

BIG REA

Damn, you get so used to seeing a rider on a bike that it feels alien when they change teams. Good luck Johnny, perhaps this is the kick Yamaha needed to challenge AB1

Maybe we could see Toprak on BMW but only Yamaha did not give permission

Go Johnny!

That bike is going to look great with the #1 plate on it in 2025!

the r1 is so popular so many ppl i know dream of the r1 as having their motorcycle🏍️

Alla sua età ricomincia tutto da capo!

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

The 🐐 sharpening his weapon for battle 😅

Lo vedo molto bene in sella alla Yama!

Mantap

Only one way to find out; get on it!

It's so unusual to see Jonathan not it green!! He's only on the bike a short time and already getting a wee drift going...

you can identify an Arai helmet from far away... 🤙😎

I really hope the japanese manufacturers really up their game in both sbk and motogp. We're missing out on some top class racing from world class riders because of this

レイには、M1の開発にも携わって欲しいな。 I would like Rea to be involved in the development of M1 as well.

Goose bumps.

Iannone is back 🔥😁

There’s quiet a few of his old team in that pit garage as well.

Interesting to see Rea snubbing Toprak after the Sprint race because he thought Lowes was taken out. His crew in parc ferme had to explain to him that Lowes rode into the back of him.

Joni saya dulu tidak menyukai anda di Kawasaki tapi setelah anda ke Yamaha saya suka dengan anda serius dan konsisten demi gelar 2024

It's going to be hard seeing Rea with Yamaha and not with Kawasaki anymore.

What is the lever on the clutch side that rotated? Im not into modern race bikes or how they are configured. Thanks for any informative reply.

I hope they sell that Arai with Monster logo!

nice rea

Go JR!🫶

Why is his clutch lever so high? Been wondering for years

JR 65 💪💪💪

Johnny be good 👍🏻👍🏻

After years with the Green

Does anyone know what tires he used for the first rides? I’d want to be on a tire I knew well at first, then switch to the contracted track tire

Is that a Monster Energy hat he’s wearing?

Isn’t it strange how Yamaha won’t release Toprak to ride his BMW they must be really scared of what he might be capable of on it !!

he looks so happy woth his new toy

Me resulta raro ver a Rea vestido de Yamaha.... tantos años en Kawasaki... pero en cierto modo, se merece ir a otro equipo donde la moto sea realmente más competitiva, Kawa se habia quedado un gean paso atras..... TE DESEO LO MEJOR J. REA.. ❤

Why the clutch it's haved two lever? Can anyone explain please

Best of luck

whens Raz gonna test the beemer?

Fabien Foret came with Him from KRT?

シックでカッコいい!! このカラーで市販してくれ カラー名はレイブラックなんてどーよ

I really hope that JR wins a championship with Yamaha, just to prove that he's not a 1 trick pony.

Interesting to hear his initial Feedback comments, Kind of in a roundabout way that it is easy to see how Toprak was so fast on it.... Hmmmm almost like trying to discredit the efforts of a Guy who has systematically dismantled you for the last 3 seasons. But thats Rea's MO in a nutshell tbh. Rules have been tweaked to help the Japanese Manufacturers for the most part to stop them leaving.... Hopefully the combination of TR54 & BMW can seriously challenge for the Title......

TopRak dominated the yamaha Let's see whats rea got in

Why have two handle inthe left stering?

Reas first laps in blue……..never realised I was colour blind….id of said that was black and white 🤷

Yamaha ekibine bak bu adam kim der gibi. Siz toprak gibi sürücüyü mumla ararsınız

Toprak n rea should be winng motogp. Tho i love wsbk

Good luck Kawasaki Idol! But whit Yamaha is more difficult

Let’s hope it’s keeps up with the Ducati. Wishing Johnny all the best 🎉

😮

Hey rea se llevó un mecánico de kawa con el o me parece quien confirma?

What is extra lever for on clutch side ?

Can someone please educate me as to why there is a second lever next to the clutch??

Wie lange muss Toprak noch warten?

How much better is the Yamaha from the Kawasaki? Is the gap huge
