SPIRITII XS750 – SPIRIT OF THE SEVENTIES Spirit of the Seventies Ltd

Here we have a Spirit-built ’79’ S2 road racer. It started life as a sedate 1979 Yamaha XS750 tourer, then re-engined to 850cc for more torque and reliability, dropped at the front and raised at the back for sharper steering and better handling, and a glorious three-cylinder bark from it’s new ceramic coated exhaust system.
