Who was the rider with the race tratergy to deploy his smoke screen right at the start of the race.

[@hullygully1135]

Nice to see production bikes when they were virtually standard

[@desmoss82]

Production race. What wins on Sunday, sells on Monday

[@sbsb4995]

A great video. Thanks. ❤❤❤

[@stuartmoulton6426]

So much more relatable to old farts like me, almost like watching a video of the best rideouts I had back in the day!

[@Rheinjigger]

Das stimmt wirklich es ist so cool

[@PeacefulRallyCar-pw3cs]

Likely heavy grounding of the rhs footpeg/exhaust lifted rear tire off the pavement.

[@SempreGumby]

Love the CBX's out there in these videos.

[@kevindobson8002]

I've got a CBX in my garage and ride it regularly,so have experience in the handling of the bike! Omg there are bloody heroes!

[@collyernicholasjohn]

Beautifulest ever. 900 SS

[@gsd4me00]

Not much doubt that the Ducati would have been the best sounding and handling bike out there that day.

[@snakeplissken5480]

proper proddie racing

[@Burger434]

The track they are on, if I'm not mistaken, is Bathurst Nsw Australia, off the top of my head ,the coppers band bike racing on the Mountain about 1982 ? The coppers and the motorcycling public just didn't get along 😂

[@maxSebben]

Amaroo park not Bathurst.😂

[@Burger434]

@maxSebben Good onya Max ,great memories

[@alanhampshire34]

Proper bikes! My Honda CB900F was always one of my favourites.

[@riccimartino7560]

bellissimo video grazie

[@commotoed]

Love the production racers!

[@captainaxle438]

What was the smoke in the beginning? Was that tire spinning or oil burning

[@robertsykes6309]

I seem to remember it was an overfilled sump on an XS1100.

[@billjerram3247]

That’s called production racing

[@MrAndrew1953]

Pretty sure I was there for that one and the Ducati didn't win,breaking down.

[@gregburke773]

1978 - 1st place - Yamaha XS1100

[@Jonathan-L]

2:37 ... back in the days of NO obesity and tattoos weren't an eyesore.

[@Johnnywhamo]

LOL...simply not true.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

​@Johnnywhamo there weren't many fat people and real people had tattoos, not women.

[@paulscountry456]

900 Ducati could actually corner OK while the GS and XS and CBX were whales but destroy the Italian in the straights...

[@paulscountry456]

Those bikes look mostly stock and they aint trackbikes they are heavy slow steering poor braking streetbikes.

[@simonsays1447]

Totally standard and they were state of the art in 1978.....

[@Saltyseadog-n7f]

The auld gs1000..for as big and heavy as it was.....is surprisingly nimble and quick for it's time.

[@paulscountry456]

The GS 1000 was far better than any KZ 900 or 1000 it was much faster and handled better for sure.

[@snakeplissken5480]

poor by todays standards , f00king rocketships in 78

[@123452315]

Suzuki Gs1000, was referred to as bike riders champaign. The first jap bike to handle well with brakes that worked well. Then they released the Mighty GSX 1100. The ultimate sports touring bike of the day.
