Excuse my ignorance, what are those bolted covers on the sides of the fuel tank ? Are they dry-break caps ? Fuel pump ?

Old farts! strap on a helmet and git her down the track! Yes, these were the F-16s of the road racing world. 200 miles an hour, no decompression, absolutely brilliant machinery. The Japanese were the leaders in racing engines. Oh and the Italians will kill me for saying this but like it or not its true. Ferrari only advanced learning how the Japanese were building engines! I know, I worked at Ferrari. Smart classy outfit but the Japanese were far superior in tech and race! 2 strokes-Wow!

I remember back in 1994 ? When Yamaha came out with the first R1. It was 30lbs lighter than the D 916 and 30 more HP than the D 916. So they took them both to Willow Springs race track and ran them hard all day. The Ducati won every lap. The experts couldn’t believe it. They were scratching their heads. Then one guy figured it out. The Duc had steel frame and could feel the tire grip thru the handlebars. The Yam had aluminum frame and couldn’t feel the grip thru the bars. So the Duc could push the limit harder and the Yam had to be more cautious.
