Boasting a long and impressive career in which he has tallied up a whopping 9 Grand Prix World Championship wins – 7 of which were obtained in the premier class – Rossi also holds the title for most 500cc/MotoGP race wins with a staggering 80 victories.

He is also rated second in the standing for overall race wins – claiming 106 victories to Giacomo Agostinin’s leading 122.

While riding like Rossi on the racetrack would take years of training and experience, not to mention plenty of raw talent, today’s bikers can enjoy part of the thrill of his famous style thanks to the limited edition double-face helmet now available.

Safety Advice

Just remember that while you may look the part out on the road, you still need to spare a thought for safety.

Motorbike racing is a dangerous sport as only Rossi knows too well following his involvement in high profile clashes, such as the fatal crash of his close friend Marco Simoncelli in which Rossi was unavoidably involved. You must always abide by the rules of the road and ride safely – no matter whose gear you are wearing or what racing ambitions you have.
