    So is the "SECA" and "TURBO" side covers.
    It's an '80's thing.

    Nice opservation Helmet. Yamaha must have coppied it, Star Wars had already been out for 5 years when the YICS was introduced. Star Wars is a 70's thing

    True, but COPYING Star Wars was an '80's thing. . .

    You know the Death Star must have been a dog, it was the size of a moon and only having a 2 meter wide exhaust.

    also, the exhaust should have a had a check valve to keep foreign objects from getting to the combustion chamber.
