Beidzot pabeigts! Šis ir mans visilgāk tapušais modelis. Aptuveni gadu. Un arī vislielākais - 1/6 mērogā vēl neko nebiju taisījis. Bija bauda likt un veidot katru skrūvīti! Kā jau tamijai viss liekas vairāk vai mazāk perfekti. Problēmas sagādāja vienīgi Numura izveide, jo ņemot vērā numura plates izliekumu dekāļus nekādi nevarēja dabūt virsū bez gaisa burbuļiem apakšā. Dekāļu taisnošana beidzās ar to saplēšanu. Beigās šī problēma tika atrisināta atmetot dekāļus un krāsojot numura plates pamatni. Fotogrāfējot ir nedaudz par maz gaismas un bildes ir nedaudz par tumšu. Kādā saulainākā dienā varbūt pārfotogrāfēšu. Gan priekšējie gan aizmugurējie amortizatori ir pilnībā funkcionējoši. Šis bija pirmais motokrosa motocikls ar mono amortizatoru aizmugurē. Nedaudz par šo moci: "The bike featured here is the very bike Hakan Andersson won the 1973 250 World Championship with. It was Yamaha's first World Championship and just as important, this was the first long travel motocross bike in history. This is the bike that started it all. Looking back, it is easy to come to the conclusion that this is one of the most historical motocross bikes of all time. The long travel suspension that we enjoy today started right here. It made its debut at the third round of the 1973 250cc Grand Prix season at Wuustwezel Belgium. It had over fifty percent more travel than any of the other bikes that day. All the work that Torsten Hallman did in 1972 and all the work that Hakan, Hakan's mechanic Eije Skarin (pronounced Aya) and the Japanese engineers did in months of rigorous testing, was about to pay off. Hakan won the overall that day and then went on to absolutely dominate the season. With four Grand Prix's to go at Hyvinka Finland, Hakan clinched the World Championship. It wasn't until the seventh round at the French Grand Prix that Adolf Weil's Maico came out with the forward mounted shocks. In this race during the first moto, Hakan got a last place start and came blazing through the pack to nearly win. The FIM officials were sure something was not right and ordered that Hakan immediately take a drug test. Drugs were not the issue here. Hakan was riding fantastic and also he was on a bike that was changing motocross history. Things would never be the same." * http://www.mxworksbike.com/1973%20yz250.htm
