MotoGP – Yamaha confirms: red and white M1 “Ago replica” in Valencia

Desire for retro, desire to enchant enthusiasts with another first product on the fiftieth anniversary of one's birth. After the yellow-black cube-shaped Yamaha YZR M1 of Rossi/Edwards for the MotoGP at Laguna Seca (subsequently followed by all the factory Yamahas in the most disparate national championships), at the Autodromo Ricardo Tormo in Valencia this weekend, for the final act of the 2006 season, the Iwata brand will present its M1s with the white-red “Agostini replica” colors of the YZR 500 OW23 (pictured) from the late 70s.

Nothing new for our readers, given that we have still anticipated the news exclusively Tuesday. At the time we report this news, the YZR M1 is on display in the Valencia pits to be admired and photographed: it may not be as splendid as the "Roberts" version, but it is certainly impressive due to its simplicity, a rare case for the aesthetics of motorbikes of the XNUMXs...

Soon we will show the first photos, then obviously from tomorrow you can follow her on the track...
