The Yamaha XTZ 750 Super Ténéré won Paris-Dakar a total of seven times and went on to be one of Yamaha's most loved bikes of the nineties. In this video, I explain what made it special and what it's like to ride off-road.
The exotic cars are great , the trips to Monaco are excellent .. but the Dakar bikes and trips to Pyrenees / Morocco/ Spain on bike trails are just in a class of Thier own . Thank you Harry
This was my first "big" bike, coming from a 125cc scooter. Lots of great memories. Same year, same color scheme. It was such a good bike around town, and an even greater bike for touring with bags and a passenger.
More bike videos please Harry. Loved this series. Fantastic content as always. Recently bought 50 past issues of EVO magazine and love nothing more than reading them!
Thanks!!! I lived in Bamako, Mali in the early '90's. This was THE bike to have. Great memories - especially trying to max a Yamaha 100 in town, at night. Cheers!
Thankyou for sharing these great bikes. It’s amazing to see how much the bikes transformed in a relatively short time from the XT500 to the S10. This series has been awesome Harry, well all of your videos are. Thankyou again!
I enjoyed this series far more than I ever thought I would. I'm not really into enduro bikes but Harry makes just about everything interesting and entertaining. Hats off Harry.
I have been enjoying the motorcycle videos and would love to see more! I remember one of your first vids on the Kawasaki H2, look forward to the other bikes.
This has been a great series. I never knew much about this era of Dakar. Please keep the bike videos coming along, I spied cool Guzzi in your collection that looks right at home next to these
Here we go!! The first one of these I've actually ridden!! Token sumpguard can be grounded on track, if you're committed enough! 5 valves was a Yamaha thing since the first FZ750s in 85..... The flatspot can be cleaned up relatively easily with a dynojet kit. Brings it alive. More bikes videos please Harry!
I agree …1 million thank you for doing videos of the incredible bikes of PD race. Any off-road Moto-X or Enduro, PD type works Factory made race bikes always fascinated me. I love the smell of Bel-Ray in the morning…. Thanks Harry and please,please, keep the videos coming… we love em’, well done ole’ friend.
Really enjoyed it too. Some of the supercars Harry reviews, most of us couldn’t afford in a million years. These bikes, on the other hand, start at just a few grand. Maybe Harry’s vids will inspire more of us to get into biking.
Hi Harry, I've been watching your videos on an off for sometime now and recently subscribed as I am very impressed with your straight talking and very sensible points of view on the cars and bikes you drive and ride. I've done a bit of off roading in Scotland and 90 off road takes some guts...I don't blame you for not doing a second run. Kind regards Paul
As an owner of a modern Africa Twin and a fan of the Dakar it was great to see the series of the “original” Dakar bikes, great collection of “toys”. Love the videos you are doing and it seems strange to be so interested in the extraction of the Countach engine, keep up the good work. Robin White
I enjoyed that! I'm new to off road bikes,your dakar bike videos inspired me to get one of my own! I picked up a mint one owner 1991 Suzuki DR 650 dakar, fun bike to ride, so light and smooth,kick start only, love it! More bike videos please😀
A very enjoyable series of vids Harry👍 The "wish list" exotic car tests are great viewing too but being a long term biker I'm just biased! Looking forward to some 2 wheeled road action!👍
Great series this, it was interesting to compare the capabilities of each bike, with some suited more to off road stuff than others. More bike content would be good to see, a road trip on the CBX would make good viewing.
