my mate was looking at the same bike up Westgate Road, Newcastle a few months ago, cool as owt

stick a pair of small clear front indicators, a tail tidy and small plate and that'd finish it off a treat

happy biking next year



i think its about time we had a biking smilie on here too, knee down or wheelie etc

With ram air factored in which is a safe bet as no fucker can measure it

Count on about 110bhp on the dyno!

a exhaust manufacture is using this bike as a template for new pipes, plus there going make a few other bling parts aswell.

The rear number plate holder is really easy to remove, get the feeling yamaha new this looked shite and everyone would rip it off soon as they got it. only holds indicators & plate so should be easy to modify
