I'm heartened to know even the great K.R. can miss a shift! (At last, I have something in common with Kenny Roberts! :lol: )

note the constant hi rpm opperating range.... my kr1 is the same way from 7k - 12k+ it is a sewing machine on steroids and very nimble at 250lbs.

Two missed shifts, conservative revs for that engine, and not really fast laps. Still fun, though.

There was zero mention as to what bike this was--- some research showed it to be an 1980 OW48R in-line 4 --56X50 bore/stroke. This was Yamaha's last effort at this aging design, it has its outer jugs reversed so the outer pipes shoot straight back- ended up worth 6hp but still not enough to compete with Suzuki's square 4.

I found that it was an OW60. Very similar bikes, though.
