The Gauloises Team Yamaha riders Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards rode this special edition bike into the 2005 MotoGP Round 8, U.S. Grand Prix. Us driver, Edwards, took a second destination finish, while Rossi placed 3rd. In 2005, Rossi advertised the Riders Championship. The YZR-M1 underwent drastic improvements and modification, in 2005. The motor ended up being enhanced to feature a 4 swing in-line 4 cylinder 990cc engine, which enhanced top speed and fuel effectiveness. The gas tank had been installed lower while the back shocks connected straight to the crankcase to produce optimum fat concentration in the middle of the bicycle. Other improvements included impact absorbing abilities, refined brakes and torque control systems.
