🏍️✨ Spotlight on a legend!

🏁 Kenny Roberts & the Yamaha YZR750 (1978)

In 1978, Kenny Roberts didn't just win the FIM 500cc World Championship—he changed motorcycle racing forever.

Riding the legendary Yamaha YZR750 OW35, the Californian introduced a revolutionary riding style: knee down, controlled slides, and unmatched precision. Inspired by American dirt track racing, his technique became the blueprint for generations of Grand Prix riders.

Powered by a four-cylinder two-stroke engine producing nearly 120 horsepower and weighing around 140 kg (309 lbs), the YZR750 was one of the most advanced racing machines of its era.

The 1978 season marked the beginning of a new chapter in motorcycle racing history, as Kenny Roberts became the first American rider to win the premier-class World Championship, paving the way for a generation of legends.
Some motorcycles win races. Others redefine the sport. The 1978 Yamaha YZR750 belongs to the latter.

🏁 Cagiva WMX 125 Factory – Dave Strijbos (1986) 🇮🇹

In 1986, this factory-built Cagiva made motocross history. Ridden by Dutch teenager Dave Strijbos, it claimed the FIM 125cc Motocross World Championship, giving Cagiva its second consecutive world title in the class.

Designed by Jan Witteveen, the WMX 125 Factory was a true Grand Prix machine: a liquid-cooled 125cc two-stroke engine, CTS exhaust power valve, 6-speed gearbox, lightweight steel frame, and extensive use of magnesium and titanium components. It was one of the most advanced and competitive 125cc motocross bikes of its era.

At just 18 years old, Dave Strijbos became the youngest Motocross World Champion in history at the time, achieving a milestone that inspired an entire generation.

A true icon of the 1980s and one of the finest factory two-strokes ever built. 🔥
