Look where the rear sets are on that machine, about two inches ahead of the rear wheel spindle.

LOL for a 4 ft 9 in rider with a 22 in inseam

It's not an early Yoshimura pipe, but something based on one. Possibly modified for local sound requirements.
I had an early Yosh pipe on my '75 Z1.

Loudon 80's

Definitely a Yoshimura pipe.
That 316 is Graeme Crosbys number he used while racing with Yoshimura....I believe that is the bike he used at Daytona

Yoshimura F1 here

Thanks, I bought a Kerker pipe for my GS1000 and always regretted not buying Yoshimura.

Just to be clear, I wasn't saying it wasn't a Yoshimura pipe.
I was making the point that it wasn't an early Yoshimura pipe. The ones like the one on my Z1 were available many years before the Yosh GS1000 were being raced.

Cannot like.

I'd guess the rider lost the front, by the look of that front tire.

Collateral damage . I'm guessing Castrol 6hrs at Amaroo , Straya .

^ I was at Brainerd International (BIR) and this young kid about 13 years old with a Southern accent , and a whole lotta confidence showed up, kicking ass and taking names. Yup, John Kosinski.

Just what is goin on with the 20 pound knee sliders ?

Early days of learning.
Looks better than just duct tape to save your leathers.
Might be a little ice racing rub off.

Cycle Tech showed up at a 6 hour endurance race at Loudon that same year. John wasn't the fastest guy out there, but for his first time there, at his age, it was pretty impressive.
