Jonathan Rea already feels at home with his Yamaha WorldSBK machine after claiming it has a bigger margin for error than the Kawasaki.
Six-time WorldSBK champion Jonathan Rea tested the Yamaha R1 after the season-finale at Jerez and finished third fastest, behind Remy Gardner and Nicolo Bulega. Rea is confident that he can be successful with Yamaha without needing to replicate Toprak Razgatlioglu’s unique riding style. He mentioned that he was impressed with the Yamaha’s performance and flexibility, as it allows riders to be aggressive like Toprak or smooth like Locatelli. Rea believes that he can improve his braking performance with the Yamaha and is determined to make the bike his own by fine-tuning its setup. Despite a challenging 2023 season, Rea is aiming for a debut victory at the 2024 season-opener in Phillip Island, which he considers his second home and a circuit he loves.
