There Were Many Types You Could Ride In The Yamaha Gold Gup, There Were Home-made Machines, Standard Stores Machines Such As Yamaha's, Stingrays, Kawasaki's etc. And Then You Had The Works/Prototype Stuff Such As DG, Dan Gurney Monoshock's, Yamaha Works (Scot Breithaupt Rode One) And Kawasaki Works.

Stu Thompson I'm Sure Rode One Of The Yamaha Motobikes But It Wasnt A Works, Just A Standard Store Machine  :daumenhoch:

Bicycle Motocross At Its Roughest And Toughest!

But What Was Better The Kawasaki BX-200 Or The Yamaha Moto-Bike?
