ROSSI EYES UP HIS HEROES BIKE

Valentino Rossi was presented with a Kiddimoto Barry Sheene replica at the Day of Champions at Donington Park. The eight times world champion received the balance bike - part of the Kiddimoto Heroes range - as a gift from Kiddimoto's Managing Director Simon Booth ahead of the final MotoGP to take place at the Leicestershire circuit. Rossi was bowled over by the balance bike model exclaiming 'For me? Thank you, thank you!' The handover of the Sheene Kiddimoto balance bike kick-started talks to sign Rossi to the Kiddimoto Heroes stable, joining the ranks of five other world champions currently celebrated by the award winning wooden balance bikes; Toseland, Sheene, Hayden, Hailwood and Fogarty.
James Toseland's Kiddimoto Heroes machines took pride of place on the Riders for Health stage whilst his band, Crash, performed to an enthusiastic crowd. After belting out a selection of their trademark tunes, James then signed his balance bike replica before auctioning it off in aid of the Riders for Health charity, raising more valuable funds towards the day's total for MotoGP's official charity.
The Kiddimoto Balance bike Heroes range is based upon the Superbike Kiddimoto, a silhouette of the superbike race machine. Negotiations are under way for further world champions to be celebrated by a Heroes Kiddimoto balance bike - watch this space for the next big signing to the wooden balance bike range!
