Here is a photo of my friend Richard Cant on his
wildly modified Ducati 888 at the Philip Island
Motor Racing Circuit in Victoria, Australia.
Here is another photo of my last bike, a 1996 Yamaha YZF1000R.
I bought this bike in July 1996, and sold it in September 1997,
in anticipation of the new Yamaha YZF-R1 becoming
available in the second quarter of 1998.
The man getting his elbow down on the ground
in the picture below is Jamie Robinson, who rides
a 250cc Grand Prix bike. This man is a legend.
Hopefully one day I will be able to do this as well,
without actually coming off the bike.
The bike which will replace the Yamaha YZF1000R from 1998
onwards is the YZF-R1. To find out more about the new
YZF-R1, and to see some pictures, click here.
