Suzuki TM400 (1974)

Image


It was a dark, stormy night when I arrived at the Count's secluded castle. The carriage driver would only take me to the foot of the long, winding, windswept road that lead upward to the gates, and I thought it queer that his hand trembled when he took my money. His eyes were wide with fright as he sped away, whipping his horses as though all the hounds of hell were after him. Poor devil. He had heard about the TM400 Cyclone.

Triumph TR5MX Avenger (1974)

Image


The "Triumph" TR5MX is almost identical to the BSA B50MX we tested in the March '72 issue of Cycle, which was the last BSA to be built.

Yamaha YZ465G (1980, Cycle)

Image


Motocross riders are always screaming for more low-end torque, wheel travel and suspension quality. Let them holler—Yamaha's YZ465 has enough of each to silence a whole pack of malcontents. If it's peak horsepower they're after, one lap behind the 465 will quiet them.
