Sankito Yamaha TZ350

Sankito Yamaha TZ350 triple. Made by Ferry Brouwer and Jerry van der Heiden, it has a Bakker chassis. Takazumi Katayama became world champion on this bike in 1977. The original idea of turning a Yamaha TZ twin into a triple came from Rudi Kurth, he used these engines in sidecar racing. In the eighties Jerry made a KTM 700 twin for Ton van Heugten for sidecar cross, the first race was a win!
