Classic Racer That Can Be Ridden Every Day: YAMAHA YZF-R25 Custom
9-GATE's YZF-R25
The Yamaha YZF-R25, known for its catchphrase "A supersport you can ride every day," has gained popularity due to its user-friendly characteristics and impressive sporty performance. 9-GATE has transformed the R25 into a machine that evokes the spirit of 80s racers. One notable feature is the "intercolor" design, reminiscent of Yamaha's racing scene. This design is achieved through a bolt-on exterior kit for the R25 created by "GG RETROFITZ" in the United States.
The cowl of this machine is designed as a bolt-on component. Furthermore, not only the cowl but everything is composed of bolt-on and off-the-shelf parts. Instead of relying on one-off parts, it is the builder's sense and the owner's passion that have brought the quality to this level. The versatility to ride it anywhere with ease, along with its user-friendliness, and the unique sense of reassurance that comes with the current model, are truly reassuring.
Bodyworks
The exquisitely silhouetted cowl is made by GG RETROFITZ. The headlights is 7-inch LEDs for H-D.
The tank cover has also been replaced with a kit from GG RETROFITZ. The racy paint job by Chaos Design Factory was the owner's most important part of the project.
The stock seat has been reupholstered with Alcantara, elevating the custom aesthetics! Take notice of the tail cowl that combines classic and modern elements.
Handle
The meter area remains stock, creating a modern cockpit ambiance. The handlebar is an IMPACT model with a taper angle of 10 degrees.
Chassis
The wheels have been painted on the stock ones, completely changing the atmosphere. The brake calipers have been chosen from Brembo.
Backstep is Baby Face.
The rear suspension has been chosen from Ohlins. The front forks also use Ohlins springs and top caps. It is not only about looks, but also about riding quality.
The rear brake caliper is also from Brembo. The silencer is from AKRAPOVIC, creating an aggressive vibe.
