Is this the dirtbike Yamaha should have made?

[faffi]

Instead of the T7, why not make a lighter, more powerful dirtbike 😈

How about Wade Boyd a Local Dist 36 fast guy on a R1 at the Sacramento Mile.

Not Yamaha, but still cool to watch

Back in the day we rode 40 inchers in the dirt, 650 twins tumpets, beezers, nortons  All fun with 3 inches of travel.

Yamaha actually did build one in the 70sa TZ750

 

 

 

30 years later the King comes back

Amen.  Back in the day, all bikes were dirt bikes.  Work boots, blue jeans, maybe a jacket, leather work gloves and an open face helmet was our gear.  Fun times.

Kids today can't ride a bicycle without wearing a helmet an being wrapped in bubble wrap.  How did we ever survive?  It's a wonder we're still alive and riding...

This is my dirt bike.

I dig the .50 cal box on the side. With a .50 cal mounted that could be the Yamaharbinger of Death. 😈

It will be upgraded come Spring with front end from the XJ750 Seca (anti-dive forks, twin discs, normal calipers, stiffer springs, painted front fender), 20 liter fuel tank from the XJ650 Seca (replaces the 12 liter stock unit), a 2-1 exhaust, new handlebars, new paint and new seat. Ammo-box will stay.
