For many their first step into the world of motorcycles is taken with the help of their father. A step taken together that forges a bond that lasts a lifetime. This bike had been passed on to the owner’s son who wanted to make the bike into something memorable. After coming up with some different paint schemes he decided on a Yamaha R1 blue with the Bumble Bee pattern made famous on the Kenny Roberts TZ750 dirt track bike.
