If you’re going to be in Belgium this weekend why not take in the three day 4 Hours of Spa Classic at the Spa Francorchamps circuit.
You’ll be able to breathe and see what motorcycles was really like back in the 60’s and 70’s and see the likes of legendary riders Giacomo Agostini, Rod Gould, Dieter Braun, Steve Baker and Chas Mortimer who will be reunited with their Yamaha bikes that they originally rode.
Agostini will be riding the awesome Yamaha 500cc OW23 in the GP1 and 750 class.
Ago rode this bike for the very first time at the Belgian GP in Spa 35 years ago, and finishied 2nd in that race, in front of Braun.
Supported by Yamaha Motor Company in Japan, Agostini’s OW23 bike was flown over from the factory especially for the event.
Following Spa it will then be taken to Goodwood Festival of Speed where it will be ridden by Chas Mortimer on July 4th and 5th.
Chas was the first ever Yamaha GP winner in 1972 on the YZ634A.
In the GP2 class at Spa Chas Mortimer and Dieter Braun will appear on the screaming 2 stroke Yamaha YZ635 and Yamaha YZ634 while Luca Cadalora was to be racing his original OWA7 250 2 cylinder, but had to pull of out of the event for personal reasons.
If you’re going to be attending the 4 Hours Spa Classic or the Goodwood Festival why not send us your pics, we’ll more than happy to post them with your name.
