【鈴鹿8耐】キング「ケニー・ロバーツ」も登場！ 40回記念大会にふさわしいメガミュージアムで、8耐の歴史を感じた！　

7月27～30日、三重県鈴鹿サーキットで開催の”コカ・コーラ”鈴鹿8時間耐久ロードレース 第40回記念大会、通称「鈴鹿8耐」。 28日の金曜日には公式予選が行われ、土日を待たずにかなり盛り上がっている鈴鹿8耐。 今回の鈴鹿8耐は40回という節目の開催で、その長い歴史を振り返るような展示がグランドスタンド裏のGPスクエアで行われています。その名も8耐ヒストリー”メガ”ミュージアム。 第1回大会から昨年までの代表的な出場マシンがずらりと並ぶ姿は圧巻！ 1978年の第1回に出場したヨシムラのマシン。今から比べるとマシンの様子がかなり違います。 どのマシンもそれぞれに思い出深いうえに、そのマシンに貼られているスポンサーのロゴを見ていると、そのころの世相がうかがえるのも面白いところ。 こちらは1985年のCBX750F MUGEN White Bull Ⅱ。当時日本人カーデザイナーとしてすでに大ブレイクしていた由良拓也さんがデザインということで大きな話題となったマシンです。 その1985年は一大バイクブームの真っ最中。その1985年の鈴鹿8耐で最大の注目だったのがこのマシン、YAMAHA FZR750。資生堂が立ち上げたメンズコスメブランドのTECH21がメインスポンサー。 当時二輪のワールドGPの最高峰だった500クラスで帝王、またはキングと呼ばれたケニー・ロバーツが初めて鈴鹿8耐を走るということで、それはすごい盛り上がりでした。 今回の40回記念大会には、そのキング、ケニー・ロバーツさんがゲストとして大会に参加！イベントステージでのトークショーも黒山の人だかり！ 1985年に出場した際は、YAMAHAのスタッフが教えてくれなかったからスーツなどのライディングギアを一組しか持ってこなくてひどい目にあった、と当時の思い出話も飛び出すトークショー。 バイクブーム世代には涙が流れるほどうれしいゲスト登場に、この大会の本気度を見た気がします。 (写真・文：松永和浩)     画像付き元記事はこちら:【鈴鹿8耐】キング「ケニー・ロバーツ」も登場！ 40回記念大会にふさわしいメガミュージアムで、8耐の歴史を感じた！　(http://clicccar.com/2017/07/29/496774/) あわせて読みたい * バイク界に革命をもたらす!? 世界で開発されているバイクの前後2WDシステムが凄い！ * レースクイーンの始まりは「日本の鈴鹿8耐」だったって知ってましたか!? * 全国の10代・20代集まれ！バイク好きじゃなくても楽しめる「鈴鹿8耐」でMotoBeがイベントを開催 * 走れないトコどこですか？ついに現れた250アドベンチャー・スズキ V-Strom250は、将来性を感じるバイク！ * 「3点セット」が格安で手に入る!?「スズキ・Vストローム250」を購入すると、お得なサポートキャンペーンが開催中！ http://dlvr.it/PZLvWS

A smokin’ XSR700 tribute to the FZR750 ‘Gauloises’ racer

Epic 80s endurance racers and over-the-top sprint bikes both get our motors running here at EXIF. Now Workhorse Speed Shop has just smashed both styles together in one machine—and blown our minds.

This is Sakura, a Yamaha XSR700 destined to compete in the Sultans of Sprint Factory Class. Commissioned by Yamaha Europe as part of their Yard Built program, it was built by Brice Hennebert in his workshop deep in the Belgian countryside.

Most European custom fans are aware of the Sultans of Sprint. It’s an 1/8th mile sprint series, running alongside the bigger events on the alt-moto calendar—like the Glemseck 101. The ‘Factory Class’ is designed for bikes with two cylinders or less, liquid cooling, and a maximum power to weight ratio of 0.65 hp/kilo.

You can’t modify the frame around the engine, and you can’t extend the swing arm by more than 20 percent. But for everything else, you can go loco—which is exactly what Brice did.

“For inspiration, I love to dig into the brand history of a donor bike,” Brice tells us. “Here, I had to build something ‘violent’ for drag racing, and I fell in love with the 1985 Yamaha FZR750 “Gauloises” Bol d’Or racer, from the Sonauto team. The square flat face, combined with a full fairing, is an 80s blast.”

Brice wanted to recreate the 750’s distinct fairing—but needed a solid reference to work from. Reproduction parts are virtually non-existent, and there are surprisingly few photos on the web with enough detail to study. So Brice bought a scale model of the cigarette-liveried racer, and eyed it out from every angle.

He then shaped his own aluminum version of the fairing, attaching it to the XSR700 via custom-made brackets. Since there’s no need for a headlight, the cooler was relocated to sit front and center.

The seat’s another one-off aluminum piece, capped off with upholstery from Jeroen at Silvermachine in Amsterdam. It sits atop a custom subframe, fashioned from 20 mm chromoly steel tubes.

The stock fuel tank on a Yamaha XSR700 is actually a steel reservoir, hidden under two aluminum panels and joined via a center strip. Brice ditched the actual fuel cell, and relocated the electronics in its place. Then he welded the two panels together, and mounted them flush with the frame.

So where does the fuel go now? There’s a hand-made aluminum tank hiding behind the belly pan. It holds a whopping two liters—good enough for a quick blast down the drag strip.

Chassis upgrades include the forks from an old Yamaha R1, slammed right down. “For drag racing, a fork is not really useful,” Brice quips. “The build is about 150 mm lower than OEM, and the oil pan is 50 mm above the ground. So it’s drag race only!”

Out back is a one-off chromoly swing arm, built at precisely 20 percent longer than stock. It’s connected to a Nitron R3 shock, built up especially for drag racing. The swing arm linkage, rear caliper bracket and chain tensioner were all machined by Christian at USV Racing. “He saved my life a few times with incredible production times,” says Brice.

There’s a lot going on with Sakura—too much to take in all at once. Just in front of the back wheel is a mandatory oil catch can, a black box made by Radium Engineering. Look under the seat, and there’s a NOS bottle, solenoid and purge.

Between the seat and fake tank, you’ll find a racecar battery from Liteblox. It’s a nifty piece of gear—connected to an app that monitors voltage and has a built-in kill switch.

There’s even an electromagnetic gear shifter in the mix. An 1/8th mile flies by quickly, and missed shifts mean lost milliseconds. So rather than muck about with a foot lever, Brice now shifts via two buttons on the left side of the bars.

On the right side, one button starts the bike, while another releases the happy gas. The control area is functional to the max: clip-ons, a clean top triple clamp, ISR controls and a custom-skinned Speedhut tacho.

If that’s a lot to digest, the work you can’t see will floor you. Brice handed the engine to his friend, Fabian Lamy from Flybike, who happens to be based nearby. “This guy is a race engine wizard,” says Brice. “He made a huge effort—about 130 hours on the XSR engine.”

Every part’s been balanced, oil flow’s been increased, and even the fuel injection body’s been machined for higher flow. Other highlights include custom-made camshafts, titanium valves, and Wiseco forged and balanced pistons. A stainless steel pie-cut exhaust system runs the length of the bike, ending in an Austin Racing muffler (“for that ‘race shit’ touch”).

Fabian also added Carillo rods, balanced the crankshaft, removed the counterweight, and installed a Suter anti-hopping clutch. The XSR now tops out at about 12 000 rpm, and the engine weighs just 52.2 kg. Then there’s the NOS—a Wizard of NOS 150 Pro Series system, with a Max Extreme V2 controller.

Brice hadn’t popped Sakura on the dyno by the time we went to print, but he’s reduced the weight by over 40 kilos compared to the showroom bike, down to 138 kilos (304 pounds). More importantly, he’s got a banging paint job to match the nuts-o spec, executed by Motopeinture.

And thanks to REV’IT! and Veldt, he’ll be kitted out in matching gear when he takes to the track. Now that’s attention to detail.

Yamaha and Workhorse Speed Shop Set Their Sights on Sultans of Sprint

Custom bike builder extraordinaire Brice Hennebert puts the Workhorse Speed Shop to the task of taking top honours in the Sultans of Sprint Factory class with their custom-built Yamaha XSR700

Yard Built custom bikes are usually made to inspire our customers; to make their XSR900, XSR700, XV950R or SCR950 unique. For this project, Yamaha is breaking the rules. This XSR isn’t a bike built for standing still, this is a bike that Brice built to be a sprint dominator. Low, long and fast as hell, the Workhorse Speed Shop have taken their Yamaha and pulled out all the stops. The engine to the chassis and every point in between has been tweaked, tuned, pulled to pieces and put back together to squeeze every bit of performance from one of custom buildings most versatile models

As a competition bike, there are obvious restrictions laid down about what can be changed and what lines a builder needs to work within. Brice still had room to manoeuvre. The fully handcrafted aluminium body cuts a mean silhouette in classic Yamaha blue and yellow, a tribute to the 1985 FZR 750 Bol d’Or Sonauto ridden by Christian Sarron. The frame has been dropped a full 150mm and the footpegs were shifted back. The custom-built Workhorse swingarm extends an extra 100mm and turns this beast into a low-down dragster.

The XSR700 will have the smallest engine of all the bikes in the Factory Class. But, we start the competition with a strong advantage, a very low weight and impressive torque. The crankshaft has been balanced, the oil circuit modified and the counterweights supressed. With a Suter antihopping clutch and a modified injection body; this is a whole new powerhouse.

Amongst the high-end parts putting this build into the stratosphere are a carbon battery, a full racing brake system, clutch control, a front and rear master cylinder as well as a NOS system with a Max Extreme Nitrous Controller. The paintjob was supplied by Matthias Van Brussel and the seat and jacket mods are straight from the mind of Jeroen Bauwmeister from Silver Machine.

“What can I say about this bike?” commented Antoine Clémot, Yamaha Motor Europe Motorcycle Product Manager. “It’s fast, it’s low, it’s mean, it’s a lot of fun and we think it’s a winner. Events like the Sultans of Sprint really bring new vibes to the Sport Heritage segment with a subtle mix of fun and performance. We love to see these amazing bikes getting outside of static shows to race full throttle. They’re all about individual expression and making crazy designs and then getting together and sharing them. The Workhorse bike – it’s got that old-school Yamaha feel with the FZR750 Suzuka style body, it has bespoke everything and it just looks really unique. I’m excited to see what it does, but I’m already proud to be a part of the build.”

All that deliciousness is aimed directly at the Sultans of Sprint events running this year. Anyone with petrol in their veins should be aware of Sultans of Sprint but in case you still need to get caught up, here it is. Each year hundreds of like-minded madmen and madwomen get together to race real fast in a straight line. These are events revolving around fine design, speed and above all else, fun! The Sultans of Sprint will be held at The Reunion in Italy from May 19th to the 20th, then Biker’s Classics in Belgium from June 29th to July 1st, Glemseck, Germany from August 29th to September 2nd and finally the Dandy Riders Festival in France from the 23rd to the 24th of September. If you’re lucky enough to attend an event you’ll see some outrageous designs put forward by passionate people.

The Workhorse XSR700 custom dragster will be piloted by a different guest rider for each event, with the first round featuring the legendary Niccolò Canepa, the first Italian rider to win an FIM Endurance World Championship title after lifting the 2016/2017 title in just his second season with the GMT94 Yamaha Official EWC Team. If you want to join the adventure and find out the riders for each of the other rounds, make sure you’re following the team on https://www.facebook.com/YamahaMotorEU/.
