And who said the early XS was a bad handler. Results from the 1972 gastrol 6 hour race in Aus. Standard bikes off the showroom floor

I wish mine would handle that well. Although for what they are during that era, it was Yamaha's cream is the crop.

I would guess the bikes were blueprinted before racing. Usually the only thing that was allowed in production Bike/Car racing.

Bluprinting: no one talks about it these days either
