Yamaha 8 cylinder dragracer

Here we have an absolutely amazing dragracer, a 1980 Yamaha TZ1500cc 8 cylinder two stroke! Two TZ750 engines crafted into a V8/W8 with a special 3 speed air shift gearbox with 280HP, with nitro injection taking it to 520HP. This crazy machine was created by the very talented Roland Broadbent. First rider and owner of this bike was Graham Dark. This monster is 3 meters long with the wheelie bar it measures 5.5 meter. It ran 8.3 sec quarters with 188 mph at the top, according to one of the former riders it could easily do 200mph quarters.
