Who thinks of motorcycling racing, inevitably thinks of Valentino Rossi. The Italian marked the scene like no other and is still considered an icon of the sport today. A corresponding number of models are available from the “Doctor” and his motorcycles. From the Yamaha YZR-M1, with which he became world champion in 2009, to the Aprilia RS 125 from the 1995 season. These are just two of many models in scale 1:18 from Altaya.
Motorcycles in miniature format are also available from Minichamps. For example, a 1:4 version of Rossi's world champion motorcycle from season 2004. Fans know the meaning behind this bike: It was the motorcycle with which he first competed for Yamaha in MotoGP and - to the great surprise of the scene - was able to prevail against the competition from Honda & Co. right away.
