Autographed Photo Kevin Schwantz – Suzuki Lucky Strike 500cc – N.34 – 30.5x20 cm – COA Included

Kevin Schwantz's autographed photo on the Suzuki Lucky Strike

An image that exudes speed and legend: Kevin Schwantz immortalized in action on his unmistakable Suzuki RGV500 in the historic white and red Lucky Strike livery, with the legendary number 34 prominently displayed. The shot captures all the impetuosity and spectacular style of the Texan, capable of pushing the bike beyond all imaginable limits, between impossible braking and near-fall trajectories. The Arai helmet, Alpinestars suit, and technical details of the bike — Michelin, Motul — place the image in the heart of the golden age of the 500cc class. The original autograph, applied with a black marker in the lower part of the image, is large, clear, and perfectly legible. A must-have collector's item for motorcycling enthusiasts and fans of Grand Prix racing history.

The Champion: Kevin Schwantz

Kevin Schwantz (Houston, June 19, 1964) is one of the most beloved and iconic riders in motorcycling history. The American from Texas, with a spectacular and aggressive style, dedicated his entire 500cc class career to Suzuki and the Lucky Strike livery. A protagonist of a legendary rivalry with Wayne Rainey, he achieved 25 Grand Prix victories, becoming 500cc World Champion in 1993. Famous for his extreme braking and daring courage, he is remembered as one of the greatest interpreters of the golden age of the Continental Circus. In recognition of his impact on the sport, the FIM retired his number 34 from all Grand Prix classes: an honor reserved for very few. Even today, Schwantz is an icon loved by fans worldwide.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a shot on which the subject has personally signed their signature, directly and not reproduced. It is distinguished from prints or facsimiles by verifiable elements: the irregular pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the surface, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In addition to these elements, a free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) is included, along with a COA Certificate of Authenticity included in the price for internationally recognized protection. The collectible value of an autographed photograph grows over time in relation to the career, historical relevance, and popularity of the signatory.
