Would you pay almost £18,000 for that?

YAMAHA has released Team Fiat MotoGP replica versions of their new YZF-R1.

The paint schemes, revealed last week exclusively on motorevue.com are of Valentino Rossi and team-mate, Jorge Lorenzo.

Available in France only, the bikes will cost €19,990 (£17,850).

Too expensive by far, we say.

i think you will find it has more to do with the current exchange rate than anything else

factor in as well that the froggs have a 100 bhp power cap, and youve got an expensive lookalikey slow bike
