They weren't much good other than that one year Everts won on the twin carb 250.

The earlier 74 version was also pretty good, the bike went though several versions until they won and then quit. They didnt sell mx bikes ,they sold mopeds so no point in going on once they had won.

yep he did pretty good for a kid who had polio.
I went to Namur in 06 and saw #72 riding around on the saturday - not that fast but the fans were hangin over the fence's and going crazy .I was wondering why since it wasn't a race and he wasn't going that quick for a guy who was about to wrap up his 10 th world title .Then I looked closer and realised that it was Harry on the Rinaldi Yamaha. You could see the grin through his helmet. Awesome stuff.

Harry had a couple of ordinary years on Puch and Bultaco before signing with Suzuki and winning 3 World 125 titles in a row.
