I'm a little late getting this out. Could'nt believe I drove 2000 miles to see this but It was worth the drive. Lived near Laguna Seca most of my life and remember Kenny on the TZ 750 in the 70's and the 500 in the 80's. I probably seen his last race there in 83 or 84. At the very least the greatest road racer from the US and as good as anyone from the rest of the world, any generation. He's one of only a handfull of people in this world I'd like to meet before I hang my helmet up

12 years later. Chills up my spine. That sound!

@markdc70 2 года назад

I was there that night. I'll never forget it. That bike sounded like hell unleashed.

@armandoaldana8543 4 года назад

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.

King Kenny !! You are definitely the man.

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.

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

@fvgc454ss Год назад

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

@fvgc454ss 7 месяцев назад

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.

@ek2156 3 года назад

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!
