1/12 Scale Valentino Rossi Yamaha YZR-M1 2006

Even though 2006 was not a championship winning year for Valentino Rossi, replicas of his Yamaha YZR-M1 from that year are incredibly sought after.

This 1/12 scale replica of Rossi’s YZR-M1 from Minichamps is currently being sold by Grand Prix Legends without the ‘Team’ or leaning race bike logos due to licensing issues between Yamaha, Camel and Minichamps.

I’m not sure if that means that this model will be even more sought after in the future once the licensing issues have been sorted out. At the time of writing this, Grand Prix Legends had this bike for sale at only £42.99
