Bike 141 at 0:57 : A '83 Yamaha IT250K. I believe I bought that very bike from Centre Suzuki in 1989 - They told me it had raced in the '83 race, and viola! here in the video, we see that 250K with the very same Boyeson Racing reeds sticker on the front fender. So that's likely the very same machine. I kept that bike the whole time I lived in Alice, and brought it with me back the USA because it was one hell of a fun machine. Bulletproof.

Can just imagine the pain having a 83 cr480 out there 😂 I'm guessing when Honda had Thier xr after 86 it all changed...

Thats bull shit, the track is more dangerous now with the whoops and the dust makes your vision terrible. The track was at its best between here and 2000 but the introduction of the buggies is what caused the whoops to appear
