I had a YZF in those colours, I know someone with a YZF for sale £1700 if I remember correctly.

I don't remember Pirovano ever racing a pink Yamaha, I remember him decking a marshall. He was 2nd in the first WSB championship on an FZ750, beating the Bimotas which had the same engine and most of the RC30s. He then raced OW01s in WSB with good results.

I rather like that...but 2020 litre superbikes are wasted on the road and indeed on me.

Here's the bike they're paying homage to.
