Description from the seller

Suzuki - MotoGP - Kevin Schwantz - Signed 1/5 Scale Helmet - 1993 World Champion

Bring a legendary tribute to one of the most flamboyant icons in motorsport history into your home! This lot features a beautiful, detailed 1/5 scale replica of the Arai helmet worn by American road-racing legend Kevin Schwantz during his iconic 1993 500cc World Championship winning season with the legendary Lucky Strike Suzuki RGV500.

What makes this collector's item truly unique is the original, hand-signed autograph by the Texan champion himself, featuring his legendary starting number #34. The signature was hand-signed in black marker on the front of the high-quality plexiglass display case. This took place during the ProDay 2024 event at the famous Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Italy.

The iconic helmet design—featuring the distinct American star on the side and the bold black-and-white checkered finish flag details—was worn by Schwantz during the legendary 1993 Grand Prix season. This was the year of his ultimate triumph, capturing the highly coveted world title in the premier class (500cc) after a nail-biting, intense battle with his fierce rival, Wayne Rainey.

Kevin Schwantz was the ultimate fan favorite and daredevil. He raced in an era when the brutal, unpredictable 500cc 2-stroke machines had to be tamed without any form of electronic traction control. Schwantz was the absolute master of riding on the ragged edge. Fans remember him best for his spectacular, towering power wheelies, launching the screaming 2-stroke Suzuki onto its rear wheel across the world's circuits, and for his legendary riding philosophy: "See God, then brake."
