Prizes don’t get much more exclusive than this. MCN has teamed-up with Yamaha UK to offer one incredibly lucky MCN reader the chance to win a riding place at the European launch of the all-new Yamaha MT-09 triple.

Beyond the international press, you will be one of the very first riders in the world to get the chance to ride this exciting new Yamaha model. And what’s more, the setting is great, too.

The launch takes place in the stunning countryside around Split, Croatia, with amazing roads through the mountains and forests providing ample opportunity to get to grips with the new MT-09.

Yamaha will take care of all the flights, accommodation, fuel and sustenance, and their press photographers will also provide the winner with a disc of images of themselves riding as a memento of the launch.

Competition entrants will need to be over 21 years-old, must hold a full motorcycle licence, have a valid passport, and no travel restrictions.
