This project has come together with the help of some great companies and hard working individuals in our industry. Yamaha gave us this brand new WR450 offroad motorcycle for us to transform into an asphalt ripping, supermoto weapon for MotoGP racer Ben Spies. Yamaha also gave us full access to their race department and commissioned, esteemed engine tech, Bob Oliver to pumping up the restricted WR power plant. The GYTR cylinder head, cams, K&N air filter and re-worked carburetion were done to really wake up the power delivery on this machine. Trevor Kemp, marketing manager for Yamaha’s GYTR accessory program, got us hooked up with every bolt-on product we could throw at this bike. From the exhaust system to hand guards to all the little billet oil plugs and Lightspeed carbon fiber bits, they had everything in stock and we had it in our hands the next day!
