The Kawi H2, Yamaha TZ, and the Suzuki Gamma RG were some of the coolest bikes to me when I was a kid. Super bike racing was insane when they rode 2 strokes.

It's a minor technicality but the term Superbike came along a little later with the Big Bore four strokes that were based on production bikes. Factory 2-stroke GP bikes were never called super bikes.

@@LordSamuelJ The Z1 900 and later KZ1000 were much better all around bikes than the H2 750 and were very stout when heavily modified for roadracing. Kawi even made the H2 a little slower when the Z1 came out. The H2 had a flexy frame and handled like crap - the engine was wide and they wiggled, like it wanted to spit you off. That made it even more exciting, but not in a good way. The lighter tricked-out Yam RDs ruled the backroads in the 70's.

@@LordSamuelJ Thanks for correction., I had a minor brain fart...lol, I was thinking they were KZ followed by H1 or H2 after engine size. All these bikes were before my time but when I was a kid in late 80s/early 90s the 2 strokes were my favorite street bikes at the bike shows my Dad would take me to.

Nice one guys... Those TeeZee 750’s were right beasts.. I used to watch them at classic bike racing meets when I lived in South Africa in the late 90’s and early 00's. The grid was packed with all those old school and beautiful machines.... Old Honda CB's of all kinds, Ducati Supersports in 900 and 750 variants, Kawa Z1-900's and Z1000's and then these 2-stroke demons with their adversary the Suzuki GT750...The TeeZee's always battled it out with the Suzuki GT750's. The racing was entertaining and the sound ringing out around the track was unforgettable... When I think of this moment I can still smell the 2-stroke oil... Man, I miss that... Your videos always make me happy and bring immense joy to me. Thank you as always guys... Kaplan you guys kick ass ..👍🏍️

The TZ750 was a racebike that privateers could buy. And they were beasts that required serious skill and balls to race at their potential. Roberts raced the tricker and faster precurser 750 and 500cc factory bikes like the OW31 that were tuned by the great Kel Carruthers - a legit roadrace champ himself.

Imagine a man,mature, others less thoughtful would label him old.He riles at them all but deep down he knows time has slipped by .The sun shines down and at this moment, sitting on this machine, with his buddies looking on the injuries and scars of a lifetime are strangely forgotten .The sensible survivor voice that had been talking in his head has been silenced. The 20 something 10 foot tall and bullet proof youth of so long ago has now taken over his right hand and has got bolder at every blip of the throttle.He splutters off in 1st gear,the engine struggles through his bumbling take off,picking up revs.... not so bad, he thinks, unaware that he had short shifted by 3000 rpm to 2nd , 3rd seems a long way away .The possessed right hand emboldened winds to the throttle stop ....The engine clears and a two stroke howl not heard in years shakes to the core all there that day that witnessed it . The power band kicks in,did he shift to 3rd before this?that memories missing as in a flash nothing computes anymore .Sound, vibration,heat,smell,light, all rush towards his aged brain at speeds far beyond comprehension ,time slows,what was a long street is now measured as just a sudden gasp of air into his lungs.....hes entered the Twilight Zone.......and that my friends is why Yamaha named this bike the TZ750
