A Blog about Motorcycles. Also at www.OldMotoDude.Com, on the OldMotoDude YouTube channel, and Pinterest. The motorcycles are mostly vintage, but really anything that catches my eye. 99.99% of the content on this blog is original material. Comments are always welcome. Use the search bar... you never know what you might find.
did it come with race history and service records and riders who might have gave it a good thrashing like redheaded stepchild? or maybe it was a practice bike and spare race bike or maybe ridden around the fairgrounds by a sexy flag girl? maybe the bike is a hoax. a fake. but probably not.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the Mecum literature this was "The King" Kenny Roberts' personal race bike. If that's true I can only imagine the "good thrashing" he would have given it.
DeleteI have one that looks similar if not the same. Can anybody help me identify what I have..
ReplyDeleteYou probably have an XS650 based motorcycle. If it looks like this it would be a flat track racer. If it's street legal it would probably be a street tracker, which is a street bike made to look like a flat track bike. If you actually have an OW72 then you have a purpose built race bike with the motor supplied by the Yamaha racing program.
