The celebrations of Yamaha Motor Company’s 70th anniversary are set to continue at the final round of the 2025 FIM Superbike World Championship at Jerez this weekend, with Yamaha teams sporting special 70th anniversary colours for Sunday’s races.
The Pata Maxus Yamaha WorldSBK Official Team, GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team and Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing WorldSSP team are all set to race in celebratory red and white 70th anniversary colours, which are inspired by the iconic livery of the 1999 YZF-R7, in WorldSBK and WorldSSP Race 2 on Sunday.
As well as the one-off colours for the R1 WorldSBK and R9 WorldSSP, the riders will match their new colours with leather suits made for the occasion.
The colours were unveiled during a photo shoot on Thursday at Jerez, with the media getting a sneak preview of the livery ahead of this weekend’s races.

“We are all very proud to play our part in Yamaha’s 70th anniversary celebrations by running a special 70th anniversary livery inspired by the 1999 YZF-R7 in both WorldSBK and WorldSSP on Sunday. The R7 was a bike that captured the imaginations of fans all over the world, and of course, was a machine that enjoyed significant success in the Superbike World Championship, so to run these colours here again will be a special moment for us all. Yamaha’s legacy speaks for itself, it is a truly iconic brand, and we are sure that these instantly recognisable colours will evoke emotional memories for a lot of race fans worldwide.”
