Tiko " looking great mate,,, well done,,, I"V always had a soft spot for the USA custom yams [ & LTD kawasaki"s] , i lusted after a XS650 way back in the 1970"s . to expensive tho , and always thot that yams were Under Armed , yeh the whole model range back then, take alook in a 1976 Magazine ,[MCMcanic"s] Yamaha"s biggest offering was the XS650. whiles Kawasaki had the Z900 - H2 triple . Suzuki had GT750 -GS750, Honda Had 750-4 . Yamaha then brought out The XS750 triple shaft, bad seller

never realy exited the market, till RD350 lc ,,, and by that time CB 900 - GS1000- Zed1000, were ongoing , i think the XS1100 apeared then , but yams were chasing there arse back then , I sill was a yam fan tho , :jossun:
