That makes my blood boil. Had aTZ500 for while. What a ride.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

When I was racing a friend let me do some hot laps at Willow Springs on his TZ250 race bike, what a rush, hard to imagine what a 750 would be like.

This guys looks to be on track with a bunch of 250's based on the rear tire size and the way he is picking them off.

The terrifying part is sometime they would just seize up at speed, you had a millisecond to get the clutch in or you go launched.

Love that sound.
Makes me want to dust off the banshee and take it for a rip

that just plain awesome..
i used to have access to ride these bikes.. (sorry no details with who had these)
yamaha rg500 tuned by bj macdonald with r6 suspension
Aprilia RS250 with arrow pipes
Suzuki RGV-Γ 500
honda (2)nsr250 and 500
suzuki 250 lucky strike
honda rc 30
he was working on a yamaha 0w01 . not sure if that deal finalized ..
a few others i forget...
the 500's are just flat out lethal on the street.. yes they were all done street legal.
most these bikes had been tuned or built on top of the stock setup.

lets just say when u can pass cbr1000rr on a wheelie and he dont know what happened is the best ride ever..
damm i miss that fun. but never will i get on a bike again.. too many distracted drivers..

Had this 85 RD500 for about 8 years and sold it...still kick my self in the ass everytime I think about it.

Had a few 350's and 400's as well.

Watch the the last 60 seconds. Pretty sure that’s exactly what happened

The dude definitely hit some great apexes.
Love the sound and smell.

Brother still has his Gamma.
I have a friend with a tz250 lsr bike. 149 mph. across the dirt.

Only 2 stroke street bike I ever rode was a Water-buffalo I traded I beat up CB850 for...front brake hydraulics were gone, but the rears sorta worked....I took it up the street and it woke up in 3rd gear....I limped it back to the house and sold it to the first guy who called.

Might have to fire up the rz500 for a little corona cure. Love the sound of these things.

Motivated me to pull this out of the corner of the garage and finish resto 82 RD350LC (euro version of RZ)

Freddy Spencer tested the TZ750 and told me it scared him big time.

I could only imagine...

 

[sirbob]

I thought he had a little too much rear break going into that last corner. Looks like he seized it instead.

Bummer he had good pace.

Vintage track day in the UK or actual vintage race?

Anyone remember Kenny Roberts and the Indy mile? Youtube it. TZ750 was the bike.

Yep, per his own words "they dont pay me enough to ride this thing"

Before the days of traction control, Roberts, Rainey, etc., all has massive balls.

Badass!
