Christmas is over, but with the possible New Years we can have fun, and why not with this Yamaha? As a motorcycle enthusiast, all the same enlightened, if we missed the Suter of a Danilo Petrucci whose popularity rose at the same time as he climbed the dunes of the Dakar, we can fall back on this opus in a limited edition of 46 copies worldwide. With this machine, we will have the last war paint of Valentino Rossi in MotoGP. Which is well worth spending a little more than for an average Yamaha R1…
Because this opus, contrary to appearances, is not the M1 that the Doctor rode in his last season in MotoGP, but one of the 46 Petronas Yamaha SRT (Sepang Racing Team) YZF-R1 Replica, produced in 2020. More precisely, this is the number 13, a bonus for the superstitious, a copy that has never been used and is like new. The seller guarantees that it has been started, but has never driven a single mile.
This special version is the only Yamaha R1 that will always be worth more used than new
It will be recalled that this is a limited series of the R1 model, produced by YART extension with a livery and specific modifications which, in addition to making these 46 machines unique, make them impossible to register to go on the roads and thus impress the gallery.
