From September 17 (Saturday) through September 25 (Sunday), 2022
we patrolled the Welcome Plaza Aoyama, where four MotoGP machines were on display for a limited time.
Just like the 8-hour endurance machine we saw the other day, being able to see something like this so close by—Tokyo is wonderful!
2002 Japan GP Winner
#46 RC211V
Valentino Rossi
Looking at it now, it seems oddly dated.
You could even mistake it for an older CBR1000RR…
2005 Japan GP Third Place
#6 RC211V
Makoto Tamada
This one is already 17 years old…( ；∀；)
Back then I thought it was so stylish, but… how scary the passage of time is.
2017 Spain GP / Valencia GP Winner
#26 RC213V
Dani Pedrosa
From around this point, it starts to look more contemporary.
I actually prefer it without the wings(*´ω｀*)—it looks more like a motorcycle that way.
2019 Japan GP Winner
#93 RC213V
Marc Márquez
Some people say the wings might be from Marc’s bike…
but racers really are sharp and sleek—so cool.
