Yup, the man doesn't bring dungheaps to racetracks that's for sure. Suprised he's letting a good one outta the stable.

I was lucky enough to see the bike before Spanish started on it. Rookie is right, Spanish turns out a great bike and when he say's "it's right", you know it is!

It looks to be a good thing for pre 70. There was a time not too long ago when the humble DT1/RT1 wasn't taken too seriously in the pre 70 class. Sure a couple of DT1/RT1s have made inroads over the years but it was mainly a CZ/Maico/Husky/BSA show. Now people are realising that a well set up Yamaha can be the equal of the Euro stuff. I raced a Maico in pre 70 for 20 years and have to say that even though it's a great old bike but I'm replacing it with a Yamaha and reckon it'll be the equal of my squarie...without many of the annoying quirks.

Spanish has done the hard work with this bike, it's got some innovation by fixing one of the engine's dodgy facets, substituting the clutch actuator with one from a GSX-R Suzuki and fitting of all of the much needed upgrades, (CDI, suspension upgrades etc). The only thing that some might like to do is to fit a frame lowering kit.

You'd have trouble building a bike with this amount of development for anything near what it's at on eBay at the moment.
