    8. This competition is a Pan-European competition. The available prizes are the following:
    a) 1 x First Prize: YZF-R1 50th Anniversary WGP Special Edition, two paddock passes to the
    2012 Valencia MotoGP and on 11/11/2012 one night hotel accommodation for 2x persons
    b) 1 x Second Prize: FZ8 50th Anniversary WGP Special Edition

    So i was right in thinking you get vip pit passes to moto gp and hotel and trip to spain included if you win the R1.. :D (Though no mention of flights?? but for that prize i'd happily fly to spain)..
    I smile because I have absolutely no idea what's going on

    I would agree with Phil Read and 1964 but I would say 250 RD56 or Yamaha RD56 http://www.yamaha-racing.com/Racing/wall_of_fame/phil-read.jsp

    Ok but a 250cc RD56 is the same as 250 RD56, and so is Yamaha RD56, I was just clarifying the engine size by putting cc next to it..

    I think all three would be acceptable answers ;) Perhaps I could have better worded it:

    Yamaha RD56 250cc :D
