Only three units, built in 1987. This machine embodies, in itself, an era's determination to carry Yoshimura's racing knowledge over onto the public road. A truly great motorcycle isn't defined by performance figures but by a machine that gives form to its maker's philosophy. The fact that unit No. 2 still exists, refined continuously for nearly forty years, is itself evidence of that history.
