Yamaha RD350LC Knockhill front view 2014
Video published July 2014 at Knockhill UK race track of RD350lc's vintage riding the track. Be aware the audio is a bit dodgy when speed picks up. Things pick up at the 50 second mark.

I love watching laps that you guys post. It's been a while for me. I'm still blown away at the number of people that don't rev match their downshifts to keep on the pipe. Maybe that's just a TZ thing. I do it on all my bikes and cars.

Here's the rear view link. Start after the race marshall's whistle at 1:47. Sound quality bout the same. Interesting to see the trail of blue haze in the straights.

Re: Yamaha RD350LC Knockhill front view 2014
Rory here's a way better one on a TZ250 (perhaps u've seen it). The go pro is spot on.

No, never seen that one. Great footage. The rider was pretty good. Best one I've seen for a long while. It's amazing how much a slower rider can screw you up. The key is to look beyond and just blow by the guy. He wasn't doing that, but could have. The TZ is so much later braking and so much faster in the corners.

Re: Yamaha RD350LC Knockhill front view 2014
Ya fun to watch indeed. Too bad the driver crushed it in the corner - ouch.
Re: Yamaha RD350LC Knockhill front view 2014
Well... here's a TZ350 racing Down Under published Jan 26, 2015. Suspect some our Ozzie cousins were present - lucky buggers. Summer hmm - can't wait.

Re: Yamaha RD350LC Knockhill front view 2014
Looks like a fast track. It's a drag racing all alone, unless you're out front. I didn't ever spend any time out front. Maybe that's why I liked it so much, very social activities on the track, banging bars, stuffing and being stuffed into corners. Passing back and forth. Good times. I likely would have enjoyed winning too. Maybe I'll never know.

Perhaps u seen this one Rory - RZ350R. Warm up lap at 14:25. Race start 16:45 - somewhere in Japan. Some TZ250 vid connected to it also. Very interesting track. Link:

Re: Yamaha RD350LC Knockhill front view 2014
No, haven't seen those. The TZ guy was a total drag to watch. Everyone passed him. He didn't get anyone until the end when they lapped two guys.
