YAMAHA: 50TH ANNIVERSARY VINTAGE CLOTHING RANGE LAUNCHED VIA EUROPEAN ONLINE GIFTSHOP
21 September 2005 - Yamaha Motor Europe

When the Yamaha Motor Company celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a double podium finish at the US Laguna Seca Grand Prix in July, fans were able to spot the difference straight away.

Both Yamaha riders, Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi, were sporting the distinctive vintage yellow, white and black colours of the company in place of their usual blue and white racing colours to mark the landmark anniversary.

With Rossi currently riding high at the top of the leader board for the Gauloises Yamaha team, and Edwards battling it out in fourth, there has been great interest in the vintage gear worn by the riders in July.

As part of its on-going mission of racing and brand image promotion, Yamaha Motor Gift Shop has launched a limited and exclusive selection of the vintage range in Europe via its online giftshop at www.yamaha-motor-giftshop.com. The online giftshop has proved popular with Yamaha fans looking for branded goods and gift items that provide an additional taste of the Yamaha racing experience.

With Yamaha’s usual dedication to quality, reliability and performance, all of the clothing and gifts in the collection are made to a high specification. The collection offers a choice for all the family, including track t-shirts for both male and female fans, baseball caps, retro tracksuit top, track beanie hats and a 50th anniversary bear.

For something a little more special, exclusive in Europe via the online giftshop, is the vintage leather jacket, which may bring back memories to some fans of Kenny Roberts taking the chequered flag.

With this great addition to the Yamaha Giftshop, Corporate Communications Manager for Yamaha Motor Europe Michaela Neilson says,”

“It’s great to see so many Yamaha and bike enthusiasts enjoying the retro styling and traditional colours of the team. It was great to see the yellow, white and black on the podium after so many years but it will be even better to see them out in the stands at each Grand Prix.”

The Vintage Range, as well as Yamaha’s Racing and special gift collections, can be accessed via www.yamaha-motor-giftshop.com. Fans and customers are encouraged to visit their local Yamaha dealer for the more complete range of Yamaha genuine parts & accessories.
