Nice Vid, Thanks Greg.

The only thing Im surprised about though is that Valentino is wearing his Camel Leathers from last year. Im surprised Yamaha is still running the ad.

I was questioning my co-workers this half way through the video, before even reading the replys to the thread... quite odd...

Nice find :thumbup

[spalding12]

actually, i found it over at the MV forum... where someone had posted it

I guess Rossi will sell anything if the price is right, even a 919.

I'm not knocking it, as I happen to own one myself.

what year was THAT from?
cool video
and..... point well taken

[Spwack]

No idea when it was made. It just says it was submitted to youtube Feb, 06. I found it after Covert49 posted those Agios Loannis Vids. Along the 3:50 mark of the highlight film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQF6L4qvAsE&mode=related&search=), there appears to be a black 919, which I'd never really seen run with this kind of group. So I started searching to see what else was out there, and I stumbled on the Rossi ad.

wow I didn't know yamaha would allow Rossi to do that kind of video, I wonder when they did take that video.

[Spwack]

Cool video. I own a '05 919 also. It's a great commuter bike!
I think these were the colors: '07 - Red, '06 - Red, '05 - Metallic Black, '04 - Blue, '03 - Asphalt (Flat Black)

Funny you say that. I keep telling myself I'm going to keep the 919 as a commuter, but my friends keep saying I'm an idiot since they know once I throw a leg over my 1098, I'll never look back at the Honda. I have an '03 but it is more of a silver/charcoal color. It's been a great bike, and I've always thought of it as a tamer, more affordable Monster.

I wonder if I can fit the 07 engine into an 05? hmmmm.....

Every time I click the link the Yamaha page pops up with "No hotlinking allowed" in bold where the vid player should be. I cut and paste the URL in my browser window and get the same thing. Little help?

it works for me every time
what browser are you using?
do you have some high-level FIREWALL installed?

it comes right from the OFFICIAL YAMAHA SITE....
so, it's not any "ripped" video...
it shouldn't be a problem

Valentino can really talk when he gets going! His English seems to be improved.
