Six-time World Superbike champion Jonathan Rea will join Yamaha on a two-year contract from 2024 following his exit from Kawasaki.
Rea still had a year left on his contract with Kawasaki, the marque with which he scored all his six titles as well as more than a 100 race wins, but a decline in results in recent years prompted the two parties to mutually agree to an early exit.
Eric de Seynes: President & CEO, Yamaha Motor Europe said of the Ulsterman's appointment: “We are very happy to welcome Jonathan to the Yamaha family and we are very much motivated to collaborate with him for the future.

Like him we have been world champions in recent years and we want to be back on the top of the box once again.
“We truly believe that Jonathan can add to his world championship tally, writing his name even larger in the history books, and we are equally confident that he can achieve this together with us.
