Hur ofta har man inte undrat vars alla fantastiska fabriksracers från 70- och 80-talet har försvunnit?
Yoshimura (Suzuki), Kawasaki och dom andra förstörde i regel maskinerna när dom tjänat ut sitt syfte. Ett exempel nedan.
"The majority of those great old machines would seem to be gone. Take, for instance, Kawasaki's early 1980s Superbikes that won three U.S. Superbike titles in the hands of Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey. While the Kawasaki team fielded several riders most years and those riders each had two bikes, exactly one—and only one—motorcycle survives from that period."
"All of this control means that, in the end, nearly all of the bikes and most of the parts return to the factory. And, if they are not placed in the company museum, they are destroyed."
Hojar som idag har legendarisk status höggs upp med vinkelslip och smältes ner.

Väldigt intressant läsning tycker jag.
