Money made from the auction will go to La Gotita Onlus, an Italian charity, which supports the need of children's educational, social and economic development.

CharityStars, which is hosting the auction in a statement said:

"No auction of this type has ever been offered before, making this a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"With charitable projects being very close to the hearts of both Rossi and Yamaha, this is the perfect opportunity to own a piece of two-wheeled history, benefitting children in desperate need of help."

"The generosity of Rossi and Yamaha has been hugely appreciated in making this bike available."

The auction is to close on 18th September.
