Yamaha T4 Limited Edition adventure bike

This entry is part 315 of 320 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #1

Inspired by the Yamaha T7 concept bike presented at EICMA 2016, Rebel X Sports decided to produce an adventure bike that would be very similar to fulfil the desire for a concept bike to be available to the public. After months of R&D the new Yamaha T4 is finally unveiled, this bike based on the WR450F was developed in partnership with Dakar riders Manuel Lucchese and James West whom through their race experience delivered important feedback in order to provide an easy to handle bike with great reliability. This new model will be a limited edition produced and assembled in Italy in only 30 units worldwide. The T4 is designed to be the first motorbike suitable for both rally racing and adventure riding. For this reason the bike will debut officially in the Gibraltar Race which will bring the T4 from Bulgaria all the way to Gibraltar in an adventure lasting 8.000km and 15 days.

The T4 was tested successfully in Europe and in the dunes of Abu Dhabi where the first functioning prototype also made its appearance at round 1 of the World Rallies Championship reaching the finish in the top 15 overall.
