From humble beginnings to something which is now annually looked forward to by thousands, the World GP legends series steps up a notch in 2017. You’ll still get to see stars from the past riding iconic 500cc two-strokes, but now those same old boys will be racing on modern tackle, too. Yamaha are one of the first to sign up to provide bikes (R1s in classic racing colours), and it looks as though others will join the fray.
This will allow the old boys to go hammer and tongs but with some electronic backup to give those old bones their best chance of staying in one piece. These lads may be getting on, but they’re still fast, and still pure racers at heart – no matter what their age!
