The video begins with a review of the races leading up to the 1986 Laguna Seca event. Click here 3:07 to jump to start of Laguna Seca race. Sorry for the poor quality. This video came from a very old VHS tape.

Bubba Shobert takes 2nd with a VF 750 amazing! I had both the VF and VFR 750's. I miss the VFR though.

Those were so advanced, if only Honda would have stayed the course and just use a better heat treat vendor imagine what the fireblade could do today.

So fun to watch these races as we never got to see this in England, but of course we knew who they all were just a couple of years later!...Brilliant! 👏🏻🏁

OMG!!! I don't think I ever knew about this match up. I only started watching moto racing about 1988 and started following Kocinski after the article about him or his TZ250 in CycleWorld or Cycle, or Motorcyclist. I didn't know he raced against Lawson and Rainey, and Shwantz...... when he was just like 18!

I was there that weekend. I remember seeing Kosinski coming into old turn three in the lead of his heat race with that Yamaha wobbling all over the place. I knew he was the real deal at that moment

Brings back great memories of California in the 80s and ESPN when they showed sports instead of just talking about sports.

Denis Torres is a class act.. Wayne a true champion and very gracious for his team effort.

How good would Shobert have been if he hadn't gotten hurt?

Are there any videos of the 2002 AMA Superbike season? I would love to see Nicky's Hayden beating Mat!

Back when AMA would spit out MOTO GP champs left and right. Sad to see it in it's present state.

Kocinski was a spoiled brat and was notoriously hard on equipment. He blew up a 500cc bike after losing the race. Pegged the throttle and kept it there. I wonder if Kenny Roberts regretted promoting John. I met both at Sears Point one year and Kenny was courteous by John thought the world rotated around him......
