Kyo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hello Every One, I am New Here. The Name is Forrest But feel Free to Call me "Kyo" Every one has since elementary school.. I just got Back From Picking Up My First motorcycle a few days ago. A 1973 Yamaha RT3 360 I picked up for around 6 C-notes. It starts runs and has a clean tittle. as far as i can tell it is complete other then the Turn signals front and rear.. Here is a photo of my Bike the Morning after I piked her up.. However She now Needs a new Front Brake lever (which I will be ordering on Mon.) I have been Practice Riding around my Back Property and She went down slow and easy. Cold Metal and a little bit of shock resulted in a Broken Front Brake Lever.. other then that as far as i can tell the only other thing hurt was my confidence..

Nick60 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi Kyo, Nice bike, looks amazing for it's age. Good on ya, no one rides their bikes here in the snow. Pussys. I'm also new(ish) to this forum. Seems like a friendly and helpful place. Hope you enjoy as much as I do. Nick. P.S. where is that snowy place you live in?

xpag6259 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Kyo, great bike! I've acquired 2 RT3s over the last year with the view of restoring one to original and the other close to original, but not so good that I'll be afraid to drop it in the bush. I'm in Melbourne Oz. and the RTs are pretty scarce out here. One is was the same colour as yours (but currently red) and the other is a rare one; metallic dark grey with silver oil tank. I figure its a very late Japanese 'home market' model that found its way down under. Yours' looks pretty close to complete.... I envy you. Mine are both basket cases, but I'll get there. cheers paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
