This superb TZ750 is particular in many facettes. Beginning 2010 the bike has been entirely restored and prepared by Jacky Germain, the famous tuner from « Sonauto Yamaha » and the World Champion Christian Sarron, for the Team «Classic-Motorbikes-Racing».
Subsequently it was used by Christian Sarron in the Sunday Ride Classic 2010 at Paul Ricard in April and by the 1977 World Champion 750, Steve Baker, in the Coupe Moto Légende in Dijon in May 2010.
The bike has thus hardly been used since its restoration in 2010 with two World Champions on his steering.
The “Classic-Motorbikes-Racing” team of Hubert Rigal had several works bikes and World Champion riders participate in the Classic events 2010.
Christian Sarron participated in Ricard, Dijon, Spa, Assen and Imola in 2010 with his Yamaha TZ 750 1977 vice-worldchampion and the 1981 works Yamaha 500 OW 53.
Steve Baker used the Yamaha OW 60 of the team in Jarama during the Jarama Classic 2010, and raced with the here presented TZ 750 in the Coupe Moto Légende 2010.
Finally the famous racer Kenny Roberts, triple world champion, winner of the 200 miles of Daytona and the 200 miles of Imola, rediscovered his 1982 works Yamaha OW 60 (4 cylinders in square, rotary distribution) with the Team Classic-Motorbikes-Racing during the 200 miles Imola Revival 2010 last October.
The here presented 1977 Yamaha TZ 750 is thus one of the machines of the Classic-Motorbikes-Racing team used during classic bike events in 2010.
All bikes of the team are prepared and maintained by the famous French tuner Jacky Germain in collaboration with Yamaha Motor France.
This bike has been entirely restored to new condition and was specifically prepared to be used by World Champions.
The preparation of the bike had a particular focus on the security aspect.
