Yamaha R1 signed by Valentino Rossi up for auction

Yamaha have donated a brand new R1, replete with Movistar MotoGP replica paint scheme and signed by none other than Valentino Rossi, to charity fundraisers Charitystars.

The bike is being auctioned off, with the proceeds going to La Gotita Onlus, an Italian charity, which supports the educational, social and economic development of children in need.

It is only one of three bikes in the world to feature Rossi’s signature and is signed on both the tank and front fairing, making this a very rare chance to own a motorcycle with the Italian’s mark on it.

You have until September 18 to bid on this bike. For more information, and to bid, please visit:
