Now how about this one currently on Fleabay ? 2009 TT Valentino Rossi Yamaha R1 cross plane crank | eBay
Load of old tosh.wouldnt pay 25k for an r1 just coz Rossi rode it.just my opinion.always thought this hiking the price just coz someone famous rode it was nonsense.who's gonna know.nobody will believe you,and then u have to go, oh but I have a piece of paper that says its true.rant over.lol.
Profiteering plain and simple imo For a start its just a dealer demo bike that rossi borrowed, its got 181miles on the clock but only 40 of them were ridden by rossi......so £25k being an uplift of possibly £15-17k on a used 2009 R1 if not more? Honestly you'd have to be mental or extremely well off to even consider it
A mate of mine has a F4 that Ago did some parade laps of the TT on, it's fully documented with both photo's and video's and signed by Ago. It's also a limited edition made specially for the ex president of the MV owners Club.
