To celebrate Valentino Rossi's MotoGP career, Yamaha recently gave him the R1 GYTR VR46 Tribute presented.

To commemorate the successes, the nine world championship titles in MotoGP, 250ccm and 125ccm, the 115 wins and 235 podiums in 425 races, Yamaha built the unique R1. It has a special paint in yellow and blue tones by Aldo Drudi. He was Rossi's helmet designer for a long time.
