SUMMARY

One of only 6 Ron Williams-built, Maxton-framed Yamaha TZ750s. Part of a substantial private collection of Yamaha race bikes.

DESCRIPTION

  • The Formula 750 class was designed for modified production bikes and was dominated by "works" teams from many of the major manufacturers
  • In response, Yamaha managed to homologate a 'stretched out' version of their 2-stroke 350cc production racer
  • The Yamaha 750cc 4-cylinder engine made the bike a fearsome but ultimately competitive machine
  • The bike was that so powerful that some riders tried to ban it...
  • Yamaha's standard frames weren't always capable of handling the power, hence other frame makers like Cheshire-based Maxton stepped in
  • Forming part of a large private collection
  • This restored example is presented in very original condition
  • No frame number as these frames were not numbered by Maxton
  • The frame was built in 1977 and fitted with a TZ750D engine
  • Only 6 of these bikes were built by Ron Williams at Maxton and are highly collectable
  • Displayed for last few years so will require recommissioning before use
