    Default Found on PB forum: Guy builds his TT-F1 dream Yamaha after 16 years.

    This is from the PB forum which is a great British bike magazine

    Since 1992, when I was 18 yrs. old, and saw the TT-F1 Team Nescafe Can Yamaha YZF750 that raced in the Suzuka 8 hours, I absolutely fell in love!! In the winter of 1992 , the seed for my dream began when I found out that Yamaha was releasing the YZF750SP homologation special, moulded directly from the TT-F1 machine. So I promptly bought one brand new!!

    But I knew that I could not replicate the Nescafe Can machine without the Y.E.C. KIT Swingarm and Ohlins Type 46HRCLS shock (because it just wouldn't be "right" without these parts!!).

    The real beginning of my dream really didn't start until 2005, when I FINALLY aquired the Y.E.C. KIT Swingarm!! Now, I knew my dream could truly be turned into reality!! I then bought a new Ohlins Type 46HRCLS shock to go with it.



    I now present to you all, my Team Nescafe Can Yamaha YZF750SP!! These pics were recently taken (Aug 30 - 31/08) at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah during 2 days of track riding. Hope you enjoy these!!










    :think: Not 100% pleased with the above pic.......it's lookin a bit dirty for my liking. But that's got to be expected when ur track riding on a regular basis



    If you look closely at my front tyre, you can tell I totally wore out the left side from trail braking so much . It's hard work keeping pace with all these new 600's ya know!!
    TT-F1 replica vs MotoGP replica
