Toprak Razgatlıoğlu rides a Replica of the 1977 YZR750 0W31 at Mugello!

[@neilr4867]

Toprak is a hell of a talent. He would have shined in any era.

[@terrycrawford1982]

So agree with you. Plus what a humble guy he is.

Except he’s never raced MotoGP.

What a guy Toprak is! This bike deserves that kind a ride! This is ones in a while video!

Toprak is one of the few modern day riders that I think could actually survive the 90’s 2t 500cc’s. Pure talent, this guy.

[@francesco4717]

ou're too young, he's handicapped on a 2-stroke, you can clearly see it from the video. That's only a 250, a 500 would be impossible for him

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

​@@francesco4717only got to ride it once. Calm down keyboard champ. These riders are srill riders. And most of them grew up riding in the 100cc and 125cc series's as kids.

[@sos8747]

​@@francesco4717its a 750, clearly written in the title

[@francesco4717]

@@sos8747 yes of course, a 750 2-stroke with only 120 hp: it would have been impossible for him to drive a 500 that was in the hands of Doohan, K. Roberts or the last honda 500 that V. Rossi drove in 2001.

[@sos8747]

@@francesco4717 pfff he would ride with absolutely no problem whatsoever

[@joneff9713]

I've not seen Toprak smile much, always seems so serious. But I bet that when he got off that 750, his grin would've gone from one ear right round to the other!😊👍

[@kursatkasikci667]

Toprak with 2 stroke unbelievable stuff. thanks yamaha

[@vicpnut1]

Watching on iPad I can’t hear the two stroke sound since he’s in the hi revs constantly.. until reading your comment I assumed since it’s a replica and not an original that it was also a 4 stroke ….now I see that would make no sense even being a replica it’d have to be basically new oem 1977 parts to make it anything special 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️😬

[@verdeboyo]

Pure talent! Would love to see him on a 2023 MotoGP machine duelling with Bautista on a 2023 MotoGP Ducati. No other traffic, just these two gladiators

[@sircharles7323]

What a bike, what a rider!

[@filipbunalti]

Do the commenters never ride at the racetrack, or is everyone just playing along with Yamaha's hyperbolic description? He IS taking it easy because as a professional, he does recognize how priceless this bike is. He's being very gentle in braking, cornering and application of power. Using the full rev-range doesn't mean he's "pushing".

[@shahrilabdullah4297]

indeed..

[@1cornerleft-4]

Toprak rides like a proper gentleman the 2 stroke dream machine.

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

Where can we see some more of this??!! Never have I seen someone actually pushing track limits on a museum bike. Would love to see a comparison of Toprak's lines/body position on a split screen with the original pilots from back in the day.

Toprak does seem like a generational talent, so yes a shame for us that bleed blue. Best of luck to both going forward

[@luvyesmusici4886]

Night and day difference with that big beast there and modern bikes. Ax a club guy, I couldn’t even imagine riding a two stroke TZ 750. Those little 350s and 400s scared me enough. I remember seeing my first WSR 500 ( is that right?) in the pits at Road Atlanta with Robbie Peterson and Rich Oliver. Asked them a ton of questions. First time that bike was in the states. Then I ran into the two mechanics in the bathroom and asked them a ton of questions outside. Quite some lessons. I learned the 250 two strokes were actually harder to work on.

[@AJpro88]

this guy will be a great rider one day

Take it easy they said. It's impossible to take it easy on a 2 stroke, all you do is oil the plugs up! Toprak 'stop me if you dare'😂

2 Stroke power House Its soo good to Here this engines Back on track thanks so much Japan for that beautiful engines with the powervalves i have privat a 125cc Yamaha dt 2 Stroke nothing IS better to Ride for me Like 2 Strokes thank you so much Yamaha 🇯🇵❤️

[@Rene-nw9xy]

Thanks so much 🤝

[@deandee8082]

lol, Toprak was paying his bills on that straightaway ... still for the day it was hair raising and a full on HOOT, racers had to have a special large 2 quart compartment in front of the seat behind the tank for their balls, zip tie the sac down only thing that kept em on the bike pulling 2.8 Gs in the corners... GIT SOME Raz! you can win the next 6 .. you got this...

[@Fbiking40]

Il devrait lui faire essayer la dernière 500 2t de Rossi. Au moins il aurait vraiment un aperçu du passage au 1000 4t. Bravo à lui !!!!! 👏👍

Ducati gives motogp bike to Bautista at Sepang for a race, Yamaha gives 46 years old bike to champion rider for a few laps. This is the difference of the racing culture of these two teams.

@@yamaharacing This was a cool event and all, but LOL that's a funny assertion. Most motorcycle racing fans weren't even born in 1977.

[@redipustaka3222]

Yes, 2stroke

[@doomizz]

wonder whats the time difference compared to today's bikes

[@MarkCasey-ub8sp]

Mugello wasn't on the official calendar that year but 1978 was. Roberts recorded a 2:05.600. Toprak's lap was 2:19 so he was taking it 'easy'.

[@queenslander954]

Yamaha must be kicking their huge arses losing Raz , because they still have to come up more power for the R1 , but now don’t have someone as capable as Raz to ride it in 2024

[@MrSmegfish]

750 had a good power band unlike some 2 strokes.

[@yamaharacing]

That's why we tend to use the TZ750 for our current racers. We did put one of them on a TA125 once, but he burnt out the clutch before he'd even done a lap 🤣

[@rayblackford]

Stink pots rule !

[@francesoregan394]

Great video,and now he's gone too BMW

[@TheLudojay]

F750 was a series for 'production' motorcycles & not part of the Grands Prix so the bike should not be a YZR. I thought Yamaha works 2T GP machines only used the YZR prefix.The bike shown is a TZ750.

[@yamaharacing]

That's correct. It's a YZR replica built around a TZ750.

[@royronaldogibraltarroy1932]

[@martinarellanoalvarez2670]

Mr toprak motgp is waiting for you!!..

[@toni_capo]

I didn't know that there was a quickshifter on that bikes...

[@jimstartup2729]

It is possible to clutchless shift without a device to do it for you, in fact it's not even that hard if you have the knack. You Just unload the gearbox for a fraction of a second by coming off throttle a wee amount approximately matched to the next gears revs, slot it in and get back on the throttle. Smooth fast and clean and all just with human coordination between wrist and foot.

[@toni_capo]

@@jimstartup2729 I know, but Toprak is not doing so in this lap just pay attention. In my oppinion must be a quickshifter...

[@jimstartup2729]

You can't see his wrist so you can't tell. Sounds the same as when I clutchless upshift to be honest.. however you may well be right. It does say in the title it's a replica, so it's not necessarily an original spec bike outright

[@yamaharacing]

There was no quickshifter on the bike.

[@JustBadly]

That's TZ750.
