One glance at the resu lts of the 200
Mile Expert National Championship Road Race will prove once and for all
tha t it takes more than speed to win at
Daytona.
Take a look at the starting positions
of Saarinen, Carruthers and Evans. Or
Urbanowski. Now take a look at where
they finished.
.
Incidentally, the first three qualifying
machines ended up 66th, 61st an d 69th.
The fact th a t th e 3 5 0cc, watercooled, Yamaha road racers met the
challenge of the 750cc "Superbikes" is
a matter of record. As is the Yamaha
on e-two-three victory for the second
year in a row.
You won't find the word " reliability"
listed under the Yamaha spedfications.
But th e most important motorcycle
event in the western hemisphere proves
just how reliable a Yamaha can be.
Winning the Daytona 200 Miler is
what it' s a ll abo ut. And building road
rac ing machin es that can go the dis tance is what Yamaha is all about.
Someday,
you'II'own a
