2010 Yamaha YZF-R1SP
22-01-10 by Mark M
Your R1 not special enough? Yamaha have brought out the Rossi decals again and they lay beautifully on the latest YZF-R1. In fact, Yamaha are claiming this one as an ‘SP’, a nod to the importance of ‘The Doctor’s’ world championship success last year. Just to be sure, the Rossi signature is there for all to see on the fuel tank.
Sadly the special bits end with the decals and signature but for some Rossi obsessed fans, that will be enough.
We would like to see a Ben Spies replica, after all he did win the Superbike World Championship for Yamaha in emphatic style but Ben has a few championships to capture before he bumps Rossi off the ‘SP’ models.
The YZF-R1SP will be available in strictly limited numbers at RRP (inc GST) $21,299 plus on road costs and is available March 2010. db
