The bike with which Toprak Razgatlioglu won the 2021 WorldSBK title has been gifted to the MotoGP-bound Turkish rider.<\/p>\n
Razgatlioglu won out in 2021 in arguably the greatest title battle in WorldSBK history against Jonathan Rea<\/a>, the two riders going head-to-head for almost the entire season, a season which contained some of the most memorable battles the series has seen between the two.<\/p>\n Razgatlioglu\u2019s victory in that 2021 season marked a real change of the guard in World Superbike<\/a> as he dethroned the aforementioned Rea, who entered the 2021 season having won six titles in succession between 2015 and 2020. That 2020 title also proved to be the last for the Kawasaki ZX-10RR, which in 2025 was replaced by the Kawasaki-engined Bimota KB998.<\/p>\n The YZF-R1 that Razgatlioglu used to defeat Rea and Kawasaki has remained in the possession of Yamaha since the title was clinched at the 2021 finale at the Mandalika International Street Circuit, which hosted its first FIM World Championship-level event on that occasion.<\/p>\n Now, though, the bike has been delivered to Razgatlioglu, by now, of course, a BMW rider \u2013 at least until the end of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for my first championship bike for three years,\u201d Toprak Razgatlioglu<\/a> wrote on Instagram, \u201cand finally, [it\u2019s] at home.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m grateful to Yamaha for making it an unforgettable memory.\u201d<\/p>\n Razgatlioglu, of course, will return to Yamaha in 2026 as a MotoGP<\/a> rider inside the Pramac Yamaha<\/a> team alongside Jack Miller<\/a>.<\/p>\n
