We told Toprak Razgatlıoğlu to take it steady, but we could have saved our breath because, well, Toprak! His first lap on a replica of Steve Baker’s 1977 Formula 750 World Championship winning YZR750 0W31 at Mugello and he was flat on the tank on the straight! It didn't take him long at all to figure out where all the power is on a two-stroke race bike, in this instance just below the redline! Next time we might need to lengthen the gearing!

Watching on iPad I can’t hear the two stroke sound since he’s in the hi revs constantly.. until reading your comment I assumed since it’s a replica and not an original that it was also a 4 stroke ….now I see that would make no sense even being a replica it’d have to be basically new oem 1977 parts to make it anything special 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️😬

Do the commenters never ride at the racetrack, or is everyone just playing along with Yamaha's hyperbolic description? He IS taking it easy because as a professional, he does recognize how priceless this bike is. He's being very gentle in braking, cornering and application of power. Using the full rev-range doesn't mean he's "pushing".

Night and day difference with that big beast there and modern bikes. Ax a club guy, I couldn’t even imagine riding a two stroke TZ 750. Those little 350s and 400s scared me enough. I remember seeing my first WSR 500 ( is that right?) in the pits at Road Atlanta with Robbie Peterson and Rich Oliver. Asked them a ton of questions. First time that bike was in the states. Then I ran into the two mechanics in the bathroom and asked them a ton of questions outside. Quite some lessons. I learned the 250 two strokes were actually harder to work on.

@deandee8082 8 ай бұрын

lol, Toprak was paying his bills on that straightaway ... still for the day it was hair raising and a full on HOOT, racers had to have a special large 2 quart compartment in front of the seat behind the tank for their balls, zip tie the sac down only thing that kept em on the bike pulling 2.8 Gs in the corners... GIT SOME Raz! you can win the next 6 .. you got this...

F750 was a series for 'production' motorcycles & not part of the Grands Prix so the bike should not be a YZR. I thought Yamaha works 2T GP machines only used the YZR prefix.The bike shown is a TZ750.

It is possible to clutchless shift without a device to do it for you, in fact it's not even that hard if you have the knack. You Just unload the gearbox for a fraction of a second by coming off throttle a wee amount approximately matched to the next gears revs, slot it in and get back on the throttle. Smooth fast and clean and all just with human coordination between wrist and foot.

You can't see his wrist so you can't tell. Sounds the same as when I clutchless upshift to be honest.. however you may well be right. It does say in the title it's a replica, so it's not necessarily an original spec bike outright
