After 9 years of posting this video, I'm still happy to see an exciting race like this. The Hondas are much better in corners and Lawson's Yamaha is faster on the straights....The Golden Age of Motorcycling, Amazing.

I so dearly miss this unsanitized version of Assen, with all of its weird meandering non-straights and corners that shouldn't be corners but they are. They lost a lot of its character when the track was shortened and redesigned.

Great video. This was the first Dutch TT I watched on TV, together with my father who visited the TT Always in th 50's. I still remember the typical starting procedure. Less than 5 years later when I had my drivers licence I drove with my car on the track. Those days it was part of the public road. In 1992 they closed it for traffic, because there were too much amateur racing drivers in the weekend :)

(Problem was that they, as it was a public road, rode it both ways...and sometimes met in the middle...)

Ja dat was soms wel gevaarlijk, al probeerde ik er zoveel mogelijk rekening mee te houden. Maar het meest hachelijke moment heb ik er meegemaakt toen het, vlak na de verbreding in 1990, gesloten was. Dat wil zeggen, de heken stonden half open maar er stonden borden dat het gesloten was. Ik reed eerst langs het circuit om te kijken hoe groot de pakkans zou zijn. Bij de Stekkenwal stonden enkele mannen en op het circuit reden een paar auto's. Ik vroeg of ze van het circuit waren, hetgeen ze bevestigden, en of ik wel even op het circuit mocht rijden. Dat vonden ze goed en in de veronderstelling dat er nu geen tegenliggers zouden zijn wilde ik de Ramshoek nu eens voluit nemen. Ik had destijds een Opel Kadett met een topsnelheid van 140. Met die snelheid ging ik volgas door de Ramshoek toen ik halverwege opeens een auto recht op me af zag komen! Iemand had de borden genegeerd en reed in tegengestelde richting op het circuit. Met piepende banden kon ik hem nog net ontwijken. Ik denk dat ik blij mag zijn dat ik toen geen snellere auto had.

Great race from back in the day, the golden-age of 2-strokes and Americans winning the championships. Fast Freddy lived up to his name, until he DNFed and Steady Eddie did the wise thing in backing off to conserve his championship chances. I was surprised at how fast and fearless Raymond Roche, the flying Frenchman was. Also notice how many back-markers there were that had to be avoided and used to advantage, something not seen in modern Moto GP.

Hello from Japan. Takazumi Katayama came back to WGP in this race from vital crash on final Imola round of last year. Tadahiko Taira challenged WGP as spot entrant in this race. At that time he was development rider of Yamaha participating in Japan domestic championship race.

I was never a big fan of the push starts- it just added another element to something catastrophic happening at the start - I remember KR trying for YEARS for a rule change- So as usual, they finally changed it after someone got hit and killed at the start of a 250 race- (Can't remember the details, but I remember someone lost his life)-
