The other month we showed you the video of a Yamaha WR 450 that would be going to MotoGP rider Ben Spies, getting customized by Roland Sands Design group and now the bike that will be used for “quick runs to the grocery store” is finally finished and the above is the end result.
This special WR450F that features Yamaha GYTR accessories and other high performance accessories was also displayed at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, Calif.
this weekend where Spies was made a fan appearance and was presented the bike.
“Ben is a tremendous talent and this is proven by his MotoGP Rookie of the Year award,” said Roland Sands, “and we feel this design best fits his determined riding style and drive.
”“Ben joined the Yamaha family just two years ago and immediately won the First World Superbike Championship for our company,” said Bob Starr, General Manager of National Communications, “this special WR450F we are presenting to him today is a small token of our appreciation for what he has accomplished in such a short time.
