fantastic footage, and God was there, sad sign of the times when a BMW can actually keep up, hahahah , but hey they the best times, 'i'LLnot say anything about a young Mick Hone on a Guzzi, hahahha ,, I'll remind you mick next time eahahahahhahahaha
kinda funny watching those riding styles and bikes were still fairly primitive back then.... most bikes bought off the showroom floor had atrocious handling at high speed or bumpy corners.... in the early mid 80's things got a whole lot better with sports bikes like GSX-R, GPZ, and VF-R actually handling ok... Dukes handled good but down on power.... but the last 20yrs all makes have been absolute rockets with speed and handling to match.
Awesome little bike. Overshadowed by its big brother though. Conti tires were greasy as shlt, made for.long wear on the autobahns I suppose. I had a Michelin on the front, but small town shop didn't have one for the rear. The fun ended in a 80mph highside.
Who was the poindexter who outlawed open class production racing in Australia & made it a 1000cc limit , it’s died in the arse ever since , they deserve a spray whoever it was.
Short after 13:00 : incredible stunt !
Whoooah 😮

Those Z650 were a quick bike
