- Back around '74 or so, Yamaha was showing off a street version of the
- TZ700, the F1 bike that was sooooo bad it could afford to give up 50cc
- to the competition while still stomping it flat. Four chromed expension
- chambers going into canister mufflers, styling sorta crossed between an
- RD350 and a Radian. Yamaha mentioned it had been "detuned" down to
- 130hp or so, and weighed in at under 500 pounds.
