Imagine time traveling to 1955 to tell a guy with a 240lb 4 stroke single cylinder bike with a metal gas tank that the current 2026 Supercross champion was on a 240lb 4 stroke single with a metal gas tank.

My dad shot this at my first race back in 1972. This guy rode a brand new Yamaha DT1 with lights and crashed big time.

I think that's a twin cylinder. My Rickman/Triumph 650 (with a fiberglass tank) weighs in at about 360. Of course, once in motion, you don't notice the weight. (😉)
