#1 | Tour de France. K75 camera bike datum

I see the red K75 camera bike is still running. Must be well over 20 years old. I think it used mostly for stills, rather than video.

Good call. The independent photographers like Graham Watson generally stick with the same riders year after year.

Still a lot of older K100 LTs out there.

And this year, Yamaha has put the Niken front and center as the official supplier. Still looks weird.

I had more than a passing interest in the Niken, the allure was the ride dynamics (increased front-end cornering whilst still leaning) and after reading the magazines and seeing the 'still' pictures' I was still interested, so what if they looked quirky, BUT having seen them on the move on Le Tour footage, I can't say I'm interested any longer, I just don't like the look.
