1979 AMA Superbike Race

[02SE]

Some of the roadracing greats are in this video. The bikes have come a long ways in 40 years.

I was a young guy who couldn't wait until I could ride a Japanese I-4 bike on the streets. Kind of interesting to see the old Laguna Seca layout, too.

Yes, interesting indeed but it was a pretty boring layout to be honest. That said, I love this classic stuff.

Thanks for the post. In 1982 I bought a brand new 650 cc Yamaha Seca. The advertising said " Beat the Europeans to the next Cafe".

Had to laugh at that giant film camera mounted on the bike. It is remarkable how far bikes and cars have come since those dsys.
