Exclusive replica version of Leonov's racing bike released
An exclusive replica version of Vladimir Leonov's Yamaha R6 bike on which the Russian competes in the World Superbike championship has been released in the build-up to the first Russian round in WSBK in history, which will be held in Moscow.
This exclusive motorcycle is a version of the Japanese manufacturer's latest-generation Yamaha R6 sport bike, but the special kit turns the bike into an exact copy of Vladimir's racing motorcycle, painted in the livery of the Russian team. The Yamaha R6 has Yakhnich Motorsport logos and the number 65, with which Vladimir Leonov rides in the FIM Supersport World Championship.
Not only is the motorcycle a unique one, but so is the experience of creating a racing technology replica in Russia. Motorcycle manufacturers in Europe and the world often release limited edition versions of road bikes, but this is the first and the only case in Russia.
The fact that the cost of exclusive models are not significantly different from their mass-produced versions deserves special attention. The largest dealer in the territory of Russia - Panavto - will be responsible for the sale of this motorcycle.
Yakhnich Motorsport, with its rider Vladimir Leonov, who became the first Russian to score an international podium a few months ago at Assen, will clearly be the team to watch in its home race.
