Riding a 2008 Yamaha YZF R1 GMT94!!!!

Every so often we get to test some rare and special motorbikes here at Moto Rider World. We were lucky enough to have been invited out to the Kyalami Monday Club to sample an ex-World Superbike and ex-World Endurance bike. However, this isn't just any bike though, it is the 2008 Yamaha YZF R1 GMT94 bike, which was ridden by David Checa, brother of Carlos Checa, in the 2008 WSBK Championship alongside Sebastien Gimbert. They would also partake in a couple of World Endurance races at the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Bol d’Or 24 Hours in 2008. In 2007 the Yamaha GMT94 Team won the Bol d’Or for the first time in style with a five-lap lead, after having already won as a team twice the Le Mans 24hrs and numerous other Endurance events.
