Created on the Racing Track

23.4.2010.
You can buy a motorcycle at the Novi Sad Fair, just like the one Valentino Rossi is winning his races on!

At the Fair of Motorcycles, Yamaha is, among other things, presenting its YZF R1 model, which, they say, is an icon for the one-litre class. It has been advertised under the slogan ‘made on the racing track’ since last year. Mr Rossi himself, who is also the promoter, participated in the creation and testing of this model, which brought winning positions at GP, at Super Bike and at Super Cross Championship.

It is a one litre engine, of 182 HP. It has water cooling and weighs 206 kilograms. One of the characteristics is also a new type of crankshaft, which experts call “broken”.

This motorcycle has given Yamaha the opportunity to transfer a “racer” onto the streets. It costs RSD 1,385,000.
