TZ750F

1979 Yamaha TZ750F

The Yamaha 1979 TZ750 "F" motorcycle was the last version of the TZ750, and was virtually a replica of the OW-31 factory racers. A total of five hundred and sixty seven TZ750s were produced from 1973 to 1979. The "A" version was actually a 700cc, the cylinder bores were increased to give 747cc in 1975.

Georgia pig farmer, Dale Singleton, rode this TZ to victory in the 1981 Daytona 200 Race. These big TZ's were the preferred motorcycles by the majority of racers of a span of six years until the regulations for the 750cc were changed, and specified four stroke motors only. The "F" model was the final version of the TZ750s.
