Yamaha's TZ750:
Where Legends Began ... Kel Carruthers recalls the early days of the TZ700 by evan williams The mighty Yamaha TZ750 was one of the legendary race machines of the 1970s, winning races for nearly a full decade -- including the Daytona 200, which it won nine times in a row. The TZ700/750s's first win was Daytona in 1974 with Giacamo Agostini -- Ago to his pals -- at the helm. Ago came from the pole, raced with Roberts and company for a while, and was gone. The TZ750's last win was at Pocono 1983 with Gregg Smrz bringing the aging machine home that day. Doug Brauneck and Miles Baldwin made it an all-Yamaha podium. The TZ was the dominant machine in AMA racing for years, but faced stiff competiton at times from Kawasaki, Suzuki and was replaced as the class standard in AMA F-1 racing by the Honda RS500. But, while the coals were hot ... The winning was not limited to just factory riders, almost anyone with enough cold hard cash could buy the TZ750 from a Yamaha dealer. In total, Yamaha sold nearly 600 of the machines, and many more were constructed from spares. With all that success, one might think it was easy for Yamaha. It certainly didn't begin that way... Although it initially displaced 700cc, the machine was called the TZ750 because it had been designed for the Formula 750 class in Europe. The FIM had banned it before the TZ ever turned a wheel, but the machine remained AMA-legal. |
