2018 RIVA Racing-Edition Yamaha GP1800R Test Ride – Long Haul Episode 22

The Watercraft Journal test rides RIVA Racing’s insanely-fast 2018 RIVA Racing-Edition GP1800R. Starting with a stock 2018 Yamaha GP1800 WaveRunner, RIVA Racing throws its Stage II kit and a whole lot more at this limited-edition machine that is hand-built for the first 25 customers each year. The GP1800 is already one of the winningest runabouts in PWC racing history, and this package gives the enthusiast not only all of the power, handling and neck-snapping acceleration that you’d expect for the hardcore racer, but also the looks and curb appeal of a truly customized machine. Sure, you could replicate the performance of the RIVA-edition GP1800R with their performance parts, but why would you when the real deal looks so dang good?

Here’s a complete list of parts:
