You've gotta love the Italians, crazy bastards running round with that on the back of a Fiat 500 with zilcho security.

How tempted would they have been to nick it for a track bike

Spares might be hard to come by though

Beautiful bike!

[flossi46]

Rossi is obbsesive over his stickers, he has certain ones in certain places and they arnt on that bike! its the same bike they use at shows and 4 the promotion tours,photo shoots and so on. its identical in every way, but not his!

Maybe it was a promotional replica, maybe it was one of last years racing bikes?

But what actually makes it Rossi's M1 apart from his #46 livery? I mean these racers don't just have one single bike that they use throughout the year, but more of a stable of them to choose from instead. And this is not to mention the multitude of parts and spare frames from which they can build another 'new' bike if they need to.

I know that in Formula One the top drivers seem to only use the original and same chassis for typically say six to ten events, and very rarely do they use the same one for a whole season. I would guess the MotoGP bikes will also be swapped quite often, especially given the number of times the frame hits the floor in crashes.

So who is to say that Rossi ever used that bike or has even sat on it or maybe even seen that one? Apart from the Yamaha team who can probably tell you exactly what that 'frame' has done in its lifetime.

Still a nice find though.

yup im sure some one said somthing about does his own transport, meaning its his car no?

[robbieguy2003]

Looks very geniune - if it'd start I think it would be worth a record for, if your gonna twoc something, twoc something good right??

It'd be nice but I reckon those tyres would be horrible on the road. Would be funny trying to hide it/do any work on it/use it on any track if you did take it.

Awesome find though with some very good close up pics. Just on the sheer value of the bike - I'm amazed they stored it overnight like that.

I've seen/worked with valuable assets for companies when on the road and normally they'd be handled by trusted logistics companys, not some italian with a Fiat 500 and a Trailer. Still, absolutely wicked and yeah, I reckon I might have nicked that and thought later.

Well if you did nick it it would not be the police you would need to worry about........

That's pretty cool! I'd have nicked a few bits of it and put them on ebay

I notice Bridgestone have made them change the tyres and stickers.

I remember in the last motogp race on europsort, they mentioned one of rossi's bike was going to be towed between new york and the GP by a fiat.
