Dearly beloved,It is with heavy heart that we gather to say our final goodbyes to a legend: the Yamaha YZR-M1. Its life seemed short to us, but way too long to others. After a long struggle with a clinical lack of competitive edge and a distinct lack of aero, its family at Yamaha has decided to pull the plug and let its beloved inline-engined legend pass with dignity. The YZR-M1 is survived and will be missed by its V4 successors. You are hereby cordially invited to attend the wake of the Yamaha YZR-M1. The ceremony will be held by your hosts, Mat Oxley and Peter Bom, and all attendees are asked to bring along at least one beverage of their choice. Want more?

Additional music in this episode: "Funeral March for Queen Mary", written by Henry Purcell, performed by Bablung Music.
