YOSHIMURA

Yes, again I've been neglecting the blogs.... to which I say, "shut up".

So....

If you know sport and racing motorcycles at all, even a little bit, the name Yoshimura is one that resonates "fast, cool, and been around forever".

Pops Yoshimura.... he did more work with Suzuki's, but theres definitely a fingerprint of his on many other bikes... Hondas, Kawasakis.... If it had two wheels, was meant to go around corners very very quickly, Pops probably worked or modified one.

You think of Yoshimura in the past 30 years, and a Yosh prepped GSX-R comes to mind

Or a GS.... (with the 34 number plate on there, one has to wonder if this wasn't one of Schwantz's first Yosh bikes)


I believe this is an early Pop's bike... when he was working for Honda... I think



Another GSX-R




This is the style of bike I think of, when I think of Yoshimura


Another GS.... can bet it was very fast, and very difficult to ride


This is suppose to be Yosh prepped Kawasaki....
