Valentino Rossi on his favourite bike the mighty NSR500. On this bike he became world champion in 2001, he was the last one who did this on a 500cc two stroke. That 2001 NSR500 holds a dear place in Rossi’s heart. There's none other like it, and it's quite literally a money-can't-buy machine. It’s the bike that Honda was supposed to give to Valentino but the bike never arrived in Tavulia. In the last race of the 2021 season in Valencia, Rossi's fare well race, Valentino was reunited with the bike and asked Alberto Puig if Honda change the idea and gave the bike to him. Unfortunately that did not happen and the bike is back on its journey to the Honda museum. For more pics see
