Very cool.

Is that Bob Jane oval thing still happening down south?

just awesome. How good is that sound when he initially roars out of the pits ??

That video grab is from a Z1 documentary, I got a copy of it a couple of years ago from a mate in the Z Club - it goes into really good detail about all the effort that went into those speed tests at the Brickyard back in 1973, some records which still stand today. Its probably been on Fox a few times now as well.

Yvonne Du Hamel is Miguel's old man (check current US Superbike riders listings), I think they are actually Canadian, not seppo's.

Never forget - without *THAT* motorcycle, there would be no Kawasaki Sports bikes.

God I love a good 900 !!
