Yamaha fans are being given the chance to win the model piloted by four-times World Speedway Champion Barry Briggs when he completed his Sport Relief ride.
The 75-year-old nicknamed Briggo began his epic adventure in March at John O'Groats and will travel across country to the UK Speedway Grand Prix at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on July 10th atop his Yamaha WR250R.
According to Yamaha, the rider has taken in all manner of tracks since he began his journey, from tarmaced roads to green lanes.
"This varied terrain plus the numerous parade laps on the shale at the tracks he is visiting en-route is, of course, meat and two veg to this lightweight, race bred trail bike," the firm said.
Briggs' goal is to raise £120,000 for speedway riders with permanent injuries and to be in with a chance of winning the machine, entrants into the competition must part with some cash.
The rider has issued 200 ride share certificates, with each purchaser paying £100 to get their certificate.
Each week in June will then see the entrants names go into a draw to win two tickets to the Cardiff GP, with one lucky winner also taking home the bike - worth more than £6,000 - at the end of the tour.
The charity will use the money raised to assist seven former speedway racers who are now wheelchair bound.
