Yamaha has donated a YZF-R1 2015 Movistar MotoGP replica motorbike signed by Valentino Rossi to be auctioned for charity. There are only three bikes in the world signed by Rossi, making this an incredibly rare auction which is being hosted by CharityStars.
Special features of the motorbike include the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP 2015 livery, which is not available on the market; Rossi’s autograph on the front fairing and tank; and the bike is Rossi’s iconic number 46. The bike retails for around £15,000 in standard form.
Proceeds from this auction will support La Gotita Onlus, an Italian charity, which aims to support the educational, social and economic development of children in need. With charitable projects being very close to the hearts of both Rossi and Yamaha, this is a perfect opportunity to own a piece of two-wheeled history, while benefitting children in desperate need of help.
This auction closes on 18 September, 2015.
