By the time Valentino Rossi showed up to Valencia for the final round of the 2005 MotoGP season, he had already locked up the championship. To celebrate that fact, Rossi had Aldo Drudi design a custom livery featuring a “zoo” of animals combined with his usual sun/moon designs.
The helmet was white to match a special livery for his factory Yamaha – they went with a white/red speedblock paint job for the final round to celebrate the company’s 50th Anniversary. Photo from Rossi Helmets
AGV sold a replica of the Zoo livery to the public based on their K3 SV-S helmet – per the AGV website, K3 SV-S was “exclusive to the UK market“. The seller of this helmet states that it was signed by Valentino Rossi and that it originally came with a Certificate of Authenticity, however he has misplaced the certificate.
With the exception of the signature, this helmet presents as new.
Currently located at our facility in Santa Monica, California. (please make an appointment for an inspection), this helmet is offered on a Bill of Sale only.
