Re: Yamaha bear a grudge
Bazzer left Yamaha to go to Suzuki and won 2 titles.
When he asked to go back later, they refused him works bikes. Long memories.
His famous Akai bikes were privateer machines.

Re: Yamaha bear a grudge
In fairness, Yamaha aren't the only Japanese company to bear a grudge. Honda were famously shirty with Rossi when he left to go to Yamaha, as I recall not allowing him to test unti his contract ran out on Jan 1st of the following year. They also conveniently 'forgot' about the NSR 500 he'd been allegedly promised.
