I'm sure I've seen this video a thousand times and I still get goosebumps hearing that evil angry TZ !! no other motorcycle to this day comes close to sounding like it !!
Chills, no really. Most of us will never even fathom what it must be like to ride such a nutty insane engine as a flat-tracker. I most remember him on the only 500 in a 750 race at Laguna Seca, where he started in last place. At the end of the first lap, the FIRST lap after starting last...he was ahead of everyone.
I saw Eddie Mulder ride this bike at the Sacramento Mile in 2000/01, wouldn't open it up all the way... he said it was too fast and scary... just an unreal earsplitting monster as it passed the grandstand on each lap.
The Yamaha is about 200 HP at the crank and the H-D were maybe 90 HP. That Yammie was also a lot lighter than the H-D bikes. Kenny said if he had the tires that were on the bike now back in the 70's, he could have lapped the field. He said it's incredible how the tire technology has changed since he last raced the bike.
200hp is a lil outrageous. More like 150. I have a 1015cc twin maike about 215 on 113 oxygenated with modified cr500 pistons. Highly Doubt this 750 is making anywhere near 200
12 years later. Chills up my spine. That sound!
I was there that night. I'll never forget it. That bike sounded like hell unleashed.

in 1975 th eTZ-750 was 130 HP and the Harley XR-750 was 75 HP by 1985 the TZ-500 was 150 HP

Well duh it's a high comp 750 2 stroke. Apples and oranges. Like comparing a CR500 to an xr400
Imagine the thoughts he had riding his GP bike with this engine and thinking. I'll just squeeze this engine into my flat track frame.
Like taking the Space Shuttle out for a Sunday afternoon site-seeing trip
Screams of a happy bike
That man has cast iron balls, because that is one annngry motorcycle! Chill inspiring to see and hear. You are the man Kenny!
That is a nasty bike it sounds like it wants to annihilate everything in its path..lol
King Kenny .. Modesto Cal
king of all track...
Man oh man wish I could have been there back in the day but I was born in 84
Here is a Video of the Original race Kenny's Wheelie while holding the checker flag down the back straight away is impressive ..
Mike Skidmore mi
Kenny kenny
Kenny Roberts was an inspiration to all I raced with Kenny in the 70s but the Indy mi was the most spectacular race of all ALA
Sergio Dal Bo . Kkr rimane senza dubbio il pilota manager nr 1
other than a nitro drag bike ,there is no other meaner sounding bike!!!
Long live the king !
My dad used to flat track Bultaco Pursang
Chills.
Harley Davidson was shown that American technology can't compete with japaneese technology 😂😂😂 !!!
That announcer needed not to say a thing.... just listen and appreciate the moment
and like the TZ, the Indy Mile is history. Sad, Not what I'd call progress.
He rode it like he stole it! Put him on that bike, give him a few more warm up laps, and i'll bet my check that he wins against the field!
If only YAMAHA sold this bike to the public
The man is a god .
That's why he was the best.
Vai lá e acelere uma 750cc, tem que ter 3 testículos ou alguns milhares de óculos.
