Some financial matters came together this last week...& I must say that I've got a great wife 'cuz she gave me enough cash to add this to my 2-Wheel collection..... B)

XT6SuMo003.jpg

I'd been watching this on CraigsList for the past 3 months.....& actually test rode it 2 weeks ago...hit it off right away with the seller....who's an avid Pedal Mechanic (bicycles). So I rang him up on Saturday & got him to take $1800 plus my trusty old Gitane..... :huh:

XT6SuMo002.jpg

It's an '88 XT600 with less than 9k on the clock....so plenty of life left in her... ;)

XT6SuMo005.jpg

For me, it's a perfect starting platform for a SuperMoto project....

best part is the most expensive parts (wheels & tires) are already done....

Hell, the seat, wheels & tires are worth the $1800 alone. :thumb:

Took it out today for a romp down the twisties....& then down to the river... B)

XT6SuMo008.jpg

I'm pretty stoked that my 14th Yamaha is a White & Red one again!.....had 2 others in the past (550 Seca & RD400) & this one Rails better than both of them put together! :eusa_dance:

It's a bit heavier than my 550 but brakes & steers alot better.

The 1 downfall is only a 2 gal. tank, but like alot of other things, that'll be sorted in time. ;)

Reminds me of old mate that arrived home pissed with a bunch of flowers for his wife. She said " I suppose you want me flat on me back with me legs in the air for those". He replied " Why? haven't you got a vase".

looks like thats gonna be fun! Dont suppose you know if the wheels were off another bike or were they built to order. Fancy puttin a set on mine but as I've got the Tenere (30l tank) not sure how well it'll handle. Please let me know if you do have any info on those wheels.
