I liked this on AMASuperbike - a reminder that next year is 30 years since Agostini's win at the Daytona 200 on a Yamaha TZ700. It certainly woke the Yanks up when a World Champ jetted in and showed that he could ride 2 strokes and he won from pole position on a track he'd never raced at before. The boy was good.

The '74 Yamaha D200 win ad was priceless says AMASuperbike - see below

On qualifyingt rubber Ben Bostrom is hoping his CBR1000RR will be as fast as Wkid's R1 and should touch the magical 200 mph mark.
