After five seasons in Moto2 and two world titles, Frenchman Johann Zarco moved to MotoGP in 2017 and won the titles of Rookie of the Year and Best Independent Rider, sixth place in the overall world championship standings. 

Obviously, that calls out, especially since the guy has managed to carve out a place for himself among the big guys, both through his offbeat strategy and his attacks, which are as vigorous as they are assertive...

In short, the Tech3 rider's rating is skyrocketing and, as a result, those of his old bikes too, as evidenced by this MotoBi TSR6 Moto2 Ex-Zarco 2012 posted at 67 euros, with which he was Rookie of the Year in the colors of the team JiR de Gianluca Montiron. A motorcycle that had no Motobi than the name, TSR being the Japanese manufacturer under the management of Masa Fujii.

Very classic in design, this motorcycle gave off a very “90s” impression, which however did not bode well for its future performance.
Here are some extremely rare photos of its construction…

The seller says he purchased this bike directly from the JiR team after the engine was refreshed and dyno run-in. She is apparently ready to race, although she has been on display since she was purchased. It wears the “Mobil 1” livery from the 2012 Le Mans round and bears the signature of Johann Zarco on the air filter cover.
