That is 1 immaculately turned out machine. Beautiful 😍

What a beautiful machine. The acceleration is phenomenal. Sounds great.

I love these big strokers. My biggest claim to fame was that I beat one of these in the TSGP race at Brands Hatch in 2014 on my KR1!

14 is my race number!!!! Love it.

Great bike!

jeez, can you imagine racing that in anger. brilliant. & good luck. 🏴‍☠️

Very Cool there once was a guy in Illinois, named Boonie, had a TZ750 back in the ‘80s

Yeah! And they wonder why bike racing attendance and TV views have tumbled for the casual racing fan.....Rossi, Biaggi, Capparosi, Edwards all racing 2 tappers was a joy to watch..

That thing is a beast

Greetings from Brazil!!!

Deep joy and happy memories 🙂🏁 Back in the 80’s I had a Rickman CR1000 and a GT750 kettle…….. the kettle was ported heavily, jetted, geared…… with an Applebee crank and Allspeeds 😊. Not a patch on a TZ but lively and tuneful……. A chap called Nick Foot(?) had a similarly altered GT kettle and we used to make music along the Epping New Road to the splendid High Beech - Epping……. The point to this nostalgic ramble, we used to ride with a chap called Rob Green(?) on a barely Road legalised TZ750, needless to say we couldn’t catch him……… and another chap with a Moto Martin Venom, which I recall had stickers on the fairing saying it achieved 163mph at MIRA 🙂🇬🇧 By far the most trick at that time was a mates Sanders & Lewis GT750, with Dymags and a three into one…….. sounded a lot quicker than it actually was, stock engine and three into one wasn’t optimum………. Great to see and hear the TZ 🏁

Now that’s a bike ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm sorry but, even though I love any 2-stroke sound the @$$ Cam is really not the view I want to see on a TZ750 ride. The bike is definitely tuned well from the sound of it. Current owner of a '76 RD400 that I will never sell under my will of course, lol.

it's simply due to the lack of space for all of the expansion chambers and the need for ground clearance. The only place left is under the seat!

I remember seeing photos of some early TZs with the lower tuned pipe chambers were shaped with flat sections to allow more cornering clearance during full clip.

Clearance and not getting the skin on your right calf glued to the pipe permanently ? Nice bike .

This is a 'Formula One" Motorcycle from Yamaha. Or until the AMA killed it. Back in 82-83? Love this bike. You have to be raised on a two stroke, to race one. Just saying..........

Great bike but why did you put the camera looking at your rear , it would have been nice to see what’s up front . You would get a better picture of the track & speed

By modern standards the TZ 750 isn't fast at all. Lots of power for the day and very light weight, but had a flexy frame, crap suspension, brakes and tires. This combination was what made the TZ so legendary and scary. I remember seeing footage of Roberts on one and the entire bike was wallowing and wiggling coming out of the corner.

Can I Have GO Pleaseeee

Is the a cameras on the front, an arse shot is not good.

Terrible camera angle, need it under the Windscreen !!

dunno about anyone else but I'm thinking, "that is way too clean for a 2-stroke, how is it going to work without a bit of oil ?" :)

Lousy camera perspective indeed; mounted @ front gives a better view or may be overhead by drone. Thanks anyway.

@@lussoveloce Thanks. I managed to find a front view lap of the IOM TT circuit. Sounds very 70’s/80’s racing 2-stroke but cool. I always hankered for the TZ750 back in the early 80’s but funds only afforded me a TZ350; fond memories of the brilliant Japanese design and quality engineering, winning pedigree indeed. Thanks once again.

To bab no handlebar tach footage just you back the whole time

Superb bike, but watching your back for 15 minutes is not really amusing 🙂

Thats an Explosively Scary Fast 3cyl. 2stroke TZ-750 on a Slow, tight, technical Track on such an undercast , damp, gloomie day on cold tyres . And the fact that it is now collectible , imaculate and probably very expensive now . Thats why you see him getting pass by smaller, slower bikes at tat point 🚴

It’s a four cylinder.

Not a bike you want to hand back in pieces!

Resto mod and mans bum no thanks

That's way more than enough of the arse-camera mate! Completely obscures the view ahead and the gauges (which is the whole point of an on-board camera) and obliterates the sense of speed and position on the road. Arse cameras should only be used by proctologists.

Well that’s a stupid shot all you see is his back

This track is like a bike path.
