Yamaha horse-traded Colin Edwards II for this beautiful YZF450 dirt bike this week. It will certainly see some use at his Texas Tornado Boot Camp. image by colin edwards 2

GP rider Colin Edwards II is having a good week, after a not so great test at Sepang. Edwards, riding a FTR Kawasaki in MotoGP this year, struggled at Sepang with numerous issues.

He was probably pretty happy when he returned to Texas as waiting for him was a brand new Yamaha YZ450F dirt bike. Edwards picked the bike up on Valentine's Day.

Updated & corrected: According to Edwards, the ultra-cool off-road machine was a gift part of a trade between he and Yamaha USA.
