To mark the end of a successful season of racing, Yamaha has decided to give away three race replica bikes.
The Japanese bike manufacturer claims its generosity was prompted by wins in all three international championships.
Yamaha riders scooped the top spot in MotoGP with Valentino Rossi, World Superbike with Ben Spies and World Supersport with Cal Crutchlow.
Another notable success was Leon Camier's British Championship win, it adds.
To celebrate all these achievements, it has placed the three race replica road bikes in a competition open to bike insurance customers and other two-wheeler fans across Europe.
Also up for grabs are 100 Yamaha World Champion t-shirts designed by Aldo Drudi, all to be given away to UK winners.
One lucky entrant will walk away with a unique Valentino Rossi replica YZF-R1, complete with Termignoni exhaust, Ohlins TTX rear shock and carbon trimmings.
A one-off Ben Spies replica YZF-R1 is another grand prize, also featuring Ohlins TTX rear shock, but with Akrapovic exhaust.
The third and final grand prize winner will receive the exclusive Cal Crutchlow replica YZF-R6.
Customers need to visit the Yamaha website to print off an application form, which when completed should be handed to a registered dealer before November 30th.
In related news, the spirit of late Hollywood actor Marlon Brando is to be revived in a new deal with Triumph to promote biking accessories.
