Our friends at 999lazer ride the original ‘Widow Maker’!
“This is Yamaha’s first ever big bore 2 Stroke Motocross bike from 1970 and in this video we’ll compare it against our modern BRC powered YZ500 to see how far dirt bikes have progressed in the past 55 years! The 1970 Yamaha RT1-M was a 360cc single cylinder two stroke machine that marked the beginning of Yamaha’s long and storied involvement in the sport of motocross. It was a real privilege to ride this bike and share it’s story in this video. We hope you enjoy watching!”
