Re: YC's got a new bike
I reckon it's of the Yamaha Persuasion. 4 letters under the hand? Maybe middleweight?
Just guessing. And I am old

Re: YC's got a new bike
Looking at the frame I reckon it's an XJ900. If it is I have some doubts about it being cheaper than an SV to run (excepting chain and sprockets) and I can't see it being up to much on the muddy stuff

Re: YC's got a new bike
Sorry, didnt mean to spoil!
I'd make some smart quip about the bike but I know nothing about it (or bikes really) so I'll just stay quiet in my little corner

(waiting for the speak for yourself response.... )My dad had an XJ900 when I was still at school, it was a good pillion bike I remember it being reliable but carp looking (even with gold pin stripes on black), good engine and shaft drive would make for a trusty steed I bet, but cafe racer'ed up it would redeem it a little I reckon This is what his looked like (minus the engine crash bars), I remember that horrible plastic backend:

Not much incentive to rag the living crap out of it as much as the SV, if it turns out dear to run then I should turn a profit on selling it.
