. .. . • •• ". _ a' . .. c: • You know how 18-year-olds are.They get on a motorcycle and the first thing they have to do is find out how fast it goes. Especially if the 18-year-old is Keith Bowen. And the motorcycle is a 1986 Ymn~aYZ~5. . Which explains, but doesn't excuse, Keith's behavior in the fifth round of the ~5cc AMA Nationals in Lakewood, Colorado. He tore off 1-3 moto scores, prompting officials to slap him with a trophy: Keith Bowens motorcycle, t~ all-new 1986 fZ125, is available at your local Yamaha dealer. Whats more, it also happened to be Keith's second offense. Just a few weeks ago, he pulled the smne stunt in Massachusetts. Which makes him the only rider.in the ~5 Nationals with two victories on his record. We think that grueling 40-minute motos, over some of the most treacherous terrain imaginable, is punishment enough for Keith. Not to mention hisYZ. A machine with a new cooling system that defies heat distortion New suspension that can take cruel and unusual pounding without fading. And a ne\v, lightweight frame with extra gusseting at the pivot point for durability: So clearly its not Keith whds in trouble. Its his competition. YAMAHA \\e make the difference" 41 • 1
