Yamaha/Don Vesco streamliner

Don Vesco always has been the Record man in Yamaha history, winning the first major races in the USA and later campaigning so many World Speed Records.

This 1973 machine was designed to go for the all-out land speed record for motorcycles and was powered by 2 turbocharged 750 ccm engines. I will give you later the technical details but I believe the engines were heavily tuned and enlarged XS 650 engines.

 

In the 1975 Yamaha "Circuit" magazine (a magazine for European dealers) (Oh, what a lovely magazine that was, so many beautiful...... sorry, we have to talk bikes!), was this feature about Don Vesco, who had just broken the land speed record with this twin TZ750 powered streamliner to 302.928 mph or 485 km/h!

"Click" the girl, sorry the XS500, to see the article on the Vesco bike!
