  1. Hello everybody, Well, I'm new to the forum so be patient and read few lines of intro and then e few question to which I hope to find the answers. I'm 29, and recently came up with the idea to ride again, and by riding I don't mean commuting but touring, some daily and maybe longer journeys, something like 200-500km/day. At first thought about a BMW K75, but because of license restrictions I changed and began thinking about e Varadero 125... BUT lastly fate came to me in the shape of a Yamaha XS360, pretty much identical to the one in the below pic. I read a bit about it and the idea I got is that this is a pretty good bike, not like K75 and the Varadero, but still very interesting. The one i got looks in a good shape, starts in a cold winter night first time, but as the previous owner says needs lots of fuel to run and that's bad, but i think I can fix if it can be done in some way. And finally to come to the questions: 1. Is this the proper bike for my purpose? 2. Is it worth to try fixing its problem with the fuel consumption? 3. If I keep it is it worth to plan trying some cheap overhauling as I can do my on mechanics, at least few, or just fix the necessary to run and go? 4. Is this bike appropriate to tour, does it break down frequently, can it be fixed on the way? 5. Has anyone tried to tour with it, how long, how far, did it break down to the point of ruining the trip and forcing to turn home? I look in a big need of help, do I Looking forward to your replies, BR Kliton
