Hey:

Yer Sir re, the Yammer LC. The little engine that could, they should have never put a rear set of pillion pegs or seat on it. A real waste should done them up from the factory with Malboro red and white, racer replicas all of them. I wish they would have made a 1000cc version of that bike, would have been 50EEE on a runway model. A real crazy over the top bike, light everwhere else. More motor than most would ever be able to handle but what a crazy fun time trying.

Oh and BTW a Yam OW 35 replica was my 1st real road racer ride at Watkins Glen, after 10 laps I and it was toast.

Hey:

Yea I wish, notice I said replica, was US colours, Yellow and black like the 15 other bikes in the race back then. Alot like this, except Metzelers not Goodyears, same paint scheme as all the other TZ based OW35 replicas. The red and white were Yam Int bkes.

Hey:

Shadow, see post #29, Yep had a green and black one of those, wicked fun, and wicked fast. And yes the frame did flex I used to think they were made of rubber.

They would wind you up and sling you fast to points unkown you were just along for the ride, hang on, worse head shakes I ever experienced.

Yep, you had to do the Kawasaki thing back then.

Had an H1 (500) in my final year at high school (aged 17 in NZ) then got up to a Z1 when I was in my late teens. Had some cars, and other assorted bikes and finally picked up an H2 in the mid 80's when I was a very responsible mid 20's.

I remember leaving for work early so I could go and practice doing wheelies down in the industrial area that I worked at that time, before there was too much traffic around.
