The olden days…

> The Barry Sheene bike we have here is a square-four 1975 Suzuki RG500 XR14. Sheene won his first ever GP on it and the '76 and '77 world championships.
> 
> In the yellow corner is an inline-four-cylinder 1980 Yamaha YZR500 OW48R, ridden by three-time world champion ‘King’ Kenny Roberts, complete with two reverse cylinders (hence the ‘R’).
> 
> Both are excessively loud, smelly two-strokes, with wafer-thin powerbands and no interest whatsoever in suffering fools gladly.

The “nostalgia” music ruins the mood.  
And the harley guys at work say that **my** bike sounds like a weed-whacker, wonder what they would say about those :lol
