Guys
the photo that Jackus posted of the Popoli with the Yamato engine on the back I am 99.9% sure was taken at the 1989 0-500 Worlds in Milan. But can you remember who ran it - was it Harry B, Lee B or Mark Borges?
It was the first time I'd seen a Yamato 500 engine and I can remember thinking, what the %&*$ is that!!??
Interesting looking back nearly 18 years ago and seeing similarities between this Yamato engine and the engines of today from Rossi, VRP, etc. Makes you wonder if the Japanese were onto something even back then.....
