In this video we see a 1988 Yamaha YZR500 warming-up prior to going on stage at the National Motorcycle Museum’s 2023 Museum Live, Live Fire-up event.
This bike is a replica of Eddie Lawson’s 1988 race machine.
Owner of the bike in shot is Des.

Somehow after years of big Ducatis and Hondas- not quite intimidating as I once thought.

Que maravilla de la ingeniería ❤
Every time you hit, the throttle is like you’re blowing a pack of marble red 100s out the exhaust pipe
Una maravilla de máquina japonesa …maravillososa igual que las mujeres japonesas preciosas ❤❤❤

Argh 88 Yamaha 500 2 stroke, uncle david is sorry for this unfriendly cold start. This is precisely what you should nor do. Let the motor run steadily !! Some peoples also complaining against seizing their motor on the highway
