Yamaha YZR-M1

Valentino Rossi has played a vital role in developing the Yamaha YZR-M1.
The Doctor first tested the YZR-M1 in 2004 and tried multiple engine prototypes before choosing one that he labeled a "sweet" engine. The story between Rossi and the M1 machine reached epic heights when he won his debut race on the Yamaha in Welkom (South Africa) that same season. He went on to win four MotoGP championships in nine seasons racing with it.
