BSB: Hill puts Hopkins' bike up for sale

Ever fancied owning an MCE British Superbike Championship winning bike? Team owner Tommy Hill has put John Hopkins’ 2016 ePayMe Yamaha YZF-R1 up for sale, which was initially the bike used by Josh Brookes to power Milwaukee Yamaha to the 2015 British title.

Determined to see his team compete next year, Hill is still forging ahead with plans for the season ahead.

The team’s ad reads: “If you want to own the a championship winning superbike, now here’s your chance.

“This is John Hopkins official ePayMe Yamaha R1 Superbike from this season and ex Josh Brookes Milwaukee Yamaha SBK.
