We hope we are able to give our customers the opportunity to celebrate our long history of racing excellence and a sense of privilege by owning the premium gift set that comes along with it,” said Dato’ Dr Jim Khor, Group Managing Director of Hong Leong Industries Berhad during the introduction.
The World GP 60th Anniversary edition of the Y16ZR comes with the iconic red and white livery colour scheme to further accentuate its already sporty look. It also features gold-coloured sport rims on its front and rear wheels and a special 60th Anniversary emblem on the Y16ZR for a more premium showcase of the bike.
