A Yamaha YZFR-125, complete with unique MotoGP graphics and signed by MotoGP stars Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith, will be auctioned on Saturday 31 August at Silverstone. The proceeds will support the lifesaving work of Riders for Health ñ the official charity of MotoGP.
The bike, donated by CMC Motorcycles – Yamaha’s largest UK dealership – is worth almost £4500 at retail and is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase that no-one will want to pass up.
CMC Motorcycles created dual graphics for the bike. One side carries the colours of the Yamaha Factory Racing team of Valentino Rossi and current MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo. The other side is designed in the style of the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 team and its British riders Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith.
All four riders will sign the distinctive bike at Day of Champions, Riders for HealthÃs annual fundraising event, on Thursday 29 August at Silverstone. It will remain on display at Silverstone on Friday until the auction, which will take place from 15:55 – 16:25 on Saturday on the main stage.
Day of Champions†tickets cost £15 and are free to kids under 16. To book visit www.silverstone.co.uk or call the Silverstone ticket line 0844 3750 500.â€
