X_FISH Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hello! I just have noticed that I did not introduce myself while owning a YBR 125. So it's time to say hello after chainging the motorcycle. Since a few weeks the YBR 125 is gone. She's got replaced by a '95 XJ 600 S Diversion. The Diversion needs a lot of tlc. I bought her from the first owner and she was standing in a barn for the last 4 or 5 years, only being taken out for approx. 500 km - in those 4 or 5 years. Rust here, need of replacement of other parts there - but very cheap. Unfortunatly the previous owner was not only doing less in the last years - he was also doing a little too much in the first years. He took a brush and some red paint and made a very unique XJ 600 S out of her: Simply click on the pictures to enlarge them The last picture in the row is a german »Fahrzeugbrief«. Positive sideffect: It does not matter where I leave her and how many other motorcycles are around. I always see her on first sight. Another side effect: People tell me what comes to their head when they see her. A german parcelservice, a fast food franchise... And they suggest that if I will decide to offer her online I should take some more backlight pictures and use only them... The fight against the rust has already begun. I hope she will last some more years and will carry me around in the south of germany and other regions. Greetings, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMOORE35 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Greetings and Good Luck. Is there a paint Job in the future? I like the colors and all but a custom paint job would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X_FISH Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Is there a paint Job in the future? I like the colors and all but a custom paint job would be cool too. I would love to have the original look back. Just yellow (»reddish yellow coctail 1« - that's what Yamaha calls it). We will see. First the other stuff (no more rust, stainless steel break lines, etc.). Tears a little hole in my budget. Greetings indeed martin, only two years a member...better late than never,,,now GET IT PAINTED! and enjoy....you still running your ybr forum? Yes, the ybrfreun.de website is still online and will be online. I get a lot of visitors from all over the world. Also some nice e-mails from time to time telling me my text/pictures have been helpfull. But: Still no forum there. There are enough of them allready on the internet.

X_FISH Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Something new on my website: The integration of the google translator - as a link. From now on you can read what i wrote about my XJ 600 S (aka Seca II) by simply clicking on the tiny flag on the right side. -> www.600ccm.info - Saisonende 2012: Ab ins Winterquartier -> after clicking on the flag Once clicked you can visit all the other pages and the google translator will translate all of it. I have to wait until the 1st of april until I can ride again -> so I had some time to integrate that on my website. Greetings from Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
