Three rare Yamahas were stolen yesterday from a dealership in Faversham, Kent, in the United Kingdom, totaling an estimated £30,000. The bikes were a special edition red and white Jorge Lorenzo replica YZF-R1, estimated to cost somewhere around the £10,500 mark, a blue 2008 R1 worth around £7,500 and a FIat Yamaha replica R6, with an estimated worth of around £9,500 - these are some expensive bikes!
Around 2:40 AM, on the night of August 30th, the thieves, described as being tall, slim and wearing hooded tops broke into the dealership and apparently wheeled all three bikes out of the store, as Detective Constable Caroline Bentley-Read, said: "We believe the bikes, which were worth a significant amount of money, were wheeled out of the store in the direction of Edith Road. We are following up a number of enquiries and are viewing local CCTV but we would be very keen to speak to anyone who has any information about the theft, or who knows where the bikes are."

Anybody who has any information regarding the incident is advised to alert the Kent Police.
