Not all racing machines are crushed at the end of a championship season, as these photos from Yamaha’s Facebook page can testify, some are proudly on display at their headquarters.
These magnificent GP bikes are part of Yamaha’s racing heritage and include Jorge Lorenzo’s 201o M1, Valentino Rossi’s winning bikes and several from the awesome 500cc era that includes Max Biaggi’s, Carlos Checa’s and Norifumi Abe’s bikes and they are strictly sealed in plastic wrapping to perserve them.
