1991 Yamaha YZE750t Dakar Winner

This was a further developed version of the 1990 factory machine YZE750T (0WB8) that was based on the production model XTZ750. Its DOHC 5-valve, 2-cylinder engine featured further development of low- to mid-speed performance and measures to accommodate the lower quality gasoline used in some areas. No less than five of these machines were entered in the Rally, one of them carrying Stephane Peterhansel to his first victory at Dakar and Yamaha's first since 1980. In this same race, Gilles Lalay and Thierry Magnaldi finished 2nd and 3rd respectively to prove the exceptional competitive potential of the machine.
