The Story of Seventies Superbikes

I stumbled across this gem of a video while cruising YouTube, looking for something totally different. Sometimes that’s the way you find something new, and worthy.

In the 1970s, I wasn’t old enough to ride a motorbike, let alone a superbike, but I sure dreamed of them. Later on I owned a Suzuki GT380 triple, but so wished it was the GT750, like the one that’s featured in this video – along with Kawsaki and Honda.

No Yamahas though, it was too early for them to be in this ‘from the 70s’ video.

If you don’t know much about Japanese superbikes from this era, do yourself a favour. This could be the best ten minutes of your day.
