Yamaha YZR-M1 Valentino Rossi

This is a build of the bike Valentino rode during the 2004 MotoGP season. He had just switched to Yamaha and was able to secure the championship for Yamaha in his first year with them. The bike was built using the Tamiya fork upgrade kit and a/m tobacco sponsor decals.

Very nice! I love these types of models

Very nice. Is the plan to build all of Rossi's bikes?

I'd like to JC. But nobody has made the the 125's or 250's. I've got the Nastro Azzurro 500, the 02 and 03 Repsol's, the Valencia hippie bike, the 07, 09, and 17 Fiat bikes, the 09 Estoril bike, and a conversion set for one of his Ducati's.
