OK quiz time

I've got an idea who the :yamaha rider in the photo might be, but I'm hoping someone familiar with Victorian trials scene in 1984 can say for sure

This is the only trials bike comparison test I've ever seen that has a dyno curve comparison.

:suzuki :yamaha :suzuki :yamaha

Which one do you think wins?

Aussie Trials Titles 1986

Postby David Lahey » Sat Feb 08, 2020 3:46 pm

Lots of familiar names and some familiar faces in this write-up for the Aussies held at Bennoble.
The Honda that Steve won on looks fairly exotic (not a TLR).
Maybe a Honda expert can say what it is
