[Sir "Barry Sheene's favorite machine in 1980] At the 1980 Road Racing World Championship, Barry Sheene rode the Akai Yamaha YZR500.
B. Sheen is a British rider who not only won the 500cc class championship in 1976 and 1977, but was also given the title of Sir by the British royal family and was loved by fans all over the world.
The machine was sponsored by Japanese audio maker "Akai"
