I can only imagine how much adjustment needed to be made from both side, especially from JR after a long time being in one color. But, a change is good, hope it will be mutually beneficial for both. We always love to see everyone change & grow for the better. Good luck everyone...

I’ve been rooted for Yamaha because of Rossi, and watched SBK because of Rea. Seeing Yamaha and Jony together is best

Super happy for you Johnny should be a winning package for you. Nice to see Oriol , Fabien and of course Kris continuing the journey with you .Exciting times ahead. 👊

Yep - Solid team around me! They are the best.

I can't wait to see the racing next year, I'm not some spotty kid, I'm nearly 60. This and Marquez to Ducati has put the zing back into racing for me.

Thank you so much!

Seems like such a great team, impressed by how welcoming they are. Denning comes across really well too!

This is very cool!! Love seeing the inner workings of the team, them welcoming a new rider, and not just any rider one with 6 WSBK titles. Love Jonathan Rea! Good luck on your new ride, hope you win lots of races! 🙂

I'm so excited about this new partnership. Welcome to Yamaha's family !

I´m very happy for you JR65, now you have a Bike with a very good chassis, amazing Braking power and with good tire managment and I´m sure that we can see you next year a lot on the podium.

I hope so too!

Apart from Jonny's riding skills and determination i think his pleasant personality has taken him far.

I was an R1 man back in 98/99 and it was the very best bike I have owned and raced. I think it will suit your natural riding style and also allow you to do the business in and around the corners. I just hope they make the dam thing fast enough to at least stay with the red bike. The rest I am sure you will do.

That testing livery looks mega! And good to see Alex is doing alright, was a scary crash that. Lots of changes for next season, should be an interesting one.

Toprak and Rea makes a brand new start from scratch. Good luck to you both.

Defiantly going to take some getting use to not seeing you with my team but as a fan I am very happy for you. Will always be cheering for 65

I gotta see the inside of the hospitality rig to see how it stacks up to the amazing KRC rig! 🙂

Already can't wait to see you in action next season! Wishing you all the best. So nice to get a glimpse into the new team. The test livery and suit are so cool!

It's a little strange to see you on a Yamaha but at the same time it's really awesome that a new era is starting for you and I love it. Wish you and your team all the best.

Im a Yamaha fan since forever, so to finally see JR come to the Yamaha team is ❤🎉💯🍻

Good look straight away bro! Glad to see the familiar faces along side you! May the good lord continue to watch over you and the family! Congratulations 🎊 👏🏿 Miss seeing you race at Laguna!

I always rooted against Johnny after i picked him up in my van after he binned the red bull Honda at the end of the snetterton straight and was staggering back to the pits in dreamland and he wouldn’t give me his mangled red bull helmet 😂😂😂 but i am sick of this Ducati situation so with Scott riding a donkey all support and hope in JR getting the title back for us brits. Keep it pinned chap.

It looks like you genuinely enjoyed this experience. Lots of cool new things, but also changes which bring uncertainty. I hope this new chapter is everything you need it to be, and wish you the best in your journey.

Good look jr in your new team, roll on next season

New job with cool new suit and super trick company wheels! Looking really happy there JR

Super good luck for next season Jonathan. The bike looks and sounds amazing. The test looked promising. I hold some of your rides, especially the one at Estoril one or two years back where you hunted down Bautista, to be some of the best riding I've ever seen. Again, good luck from Sweden! Can't wait to see you back that thing into corners.
