Looks very nice and very unconfortable, Never could get on with racing style.
I'll take a sit up an beg any day. Enjoy it and watch out for wet manhole covers.

Nice! Take her easy and get used the the bike and tires. What kind of tires come stock on those?

[Zep 0]

Probably Bridgestone which have come a long way from when I remember them back in the early 70's
In my life (talking bikes) their is one constant with tyres and thats Avon roadrunner, they are all I will use
Not cheap, wear out quickly but they stick to the tarmac like shit to a shovel
Current bike Susuki GSX 1100 EZ 1984

Looks as good standing still as it does in triple digits carving back roads!

logically you are 100% correct - but after discussions with wife I could stay with a "sensible" bike, or get something with a bit of spirit.

The shop is trying to talk me into trading my old Fazer for a 125 commuter because they know that I commute a couple of miles each day regardless of weather. My wife wants me to get a push-bike for the commute so I lose the bear belly - I figure having won this battle I should give her that

The only thing that I will probably do (have done) is lower the suspension so that I am not on tip-toes when stopped! Otherwise happy the way it is can't even begin to describe the cornering

Did some one say mod ? - .... bear in mind he lives in the U.K .... it's expensive enough putting fuel in the damned things, without paying for changes.

P.S Nice bike sir

Good looking bike.
What's the displacement?
I see you went with an import. Did you check out any of the Triumph models? If so, why did you prefer the Yamaha?

I used to ride, but my beautiful new bride asked my to give that up a few years back. Hey, but we still skydive together.

It is a 600. I really like the Yamaha simply for the looks. I like small light bikes and was very tempted by the Kawasaki 250 Ninja but I didn't end up going for a test ride as I guess I am used to the 600's.

I used to have a Yamaha 650 twin, a copy of the Triumph double thumpers. I also owned a Triumph Spitfire at the time. I always figured I didn't need a bike as unreliable as my car.
