Motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha may have made the Christmas wishes of a number of bike insurance policyholders come true after announcing the winners of its Triple Champ Competition.

To celebrate a successful year in 2009, the firm launched the contest in which fans could fill out entry forms to be in with a chance of winning a unique world champion replica bike.

Commenting, the firm said that "2009 has been a spectacular and extremely successful racing season for Yamaha, both in the dirt and on the tarmac".

It added: "We are extremely proud of our achievements so to celebrate with all our fans and customers Yamaha have run an international competition with unique prizes."

The firm went on to say that the response to the competition had been overwhelming.

It announced the winner of the unique, factory racing prepared Valentino Rossi replica YZF-R1 winner as Justina Vilimaite from Lithuania, while Slovakia's Milada Simkova won the one-off, factory racing prepared Ben Spies replica YZF-R1.

Taking the third top prize of an exclusive factory racing prepared Cal Crutchlow replica YZF-R6 winner was Claude Guyot from Switzerland.
