In 2017, I was fortunate enough to spend 2 weeks on holiday in Japan. And of course I visited the Yamaha collection in Iwata. Here are a few pics from that collection.
Who would fancy a pillion ride on that 2 seater YZR? Note the rider name on the fairing windscreen...... Long wheelies anyone??

The Toyota GT2000 inline 6 was partly developed by Yamaha. And supposedly have some things in common with the XS650. The capacity per cylinder is very close.....From what I can figure out, both bore and stroke is 75 mm., again very close to the XS 75 mm bore/ 74 mm stroke.
