The Yamaha YZR500 is a Japanese racing motorcycle that was first presented to the public in 1973. Mass production started at the same time and lasted until 2002, so the model was produced for almost 30 years. The YZR500 was designed and produced to replace the 500cc Honda YZ634A on the racetracks. In the course of production and with the passage of time, further development versions appeared, which mainly combined the use of a 500cc inline engine. Examples of Yamaha YZR500 models were motorcycles: the 1980 OW48 with an aluminum frame, 1983 OW70 with a different frame and 17-inch front wheel, and the 1988 OW-98 with a new shape of exhaust pipes and exhaust system.
