1979 yes was long before some of us were born,
But some great watching and it even shows laguna seca before they altered it and made the "infield section" from turn 1 (2,3,4)

That's worrying.

I had a book called Japanese Motorcycles 100hp/11sec/150mph given to me in 1984 - it's mainly GPZ900, GSXR750s VF1000 but with a few pics of CB900s along the lines of those in the clip.

At the time, the bikes in the clip were only 5 years old - like comparing a 2nd year S1000RR to today!!
