Yamaha YZR500, 1973-1980

Yamaha looked for another rider and found multiple World Champion Giacomo Agostini eager enough to accept the challenge. Ago had 2 GP wins to start with in 1974. Today the Yamaha 0W20 stands in Yamaha's "Communication Plaza" in Japan as an important piece of history. This is the updated version of the 0W20, internally called the Yamaha 0W20A, for the 1974 season. This is the machine as being used by Giacomo Agostini and Teuvo lansuvuori. Together they won the Manufacturers World Championship in 1974
