Looks like a good honest bike.  Could you also post pics of the Cafe Racer?

Haha very funny. I was actually stopped at the lights during the ride home tonight, and a dude on a Buell pulled up next to me and started telling me how collectable the Yamaha is and that they are a great little bike. So there!

True Story.

Nhahhh nhahhh nhahhh nhaah.  I didn't say it wasn't a good or collectable bike, in fact I said it was very nice, and I was quite tempted myself actually.  But calling that a Cafe Racer is like calling the 75 behind it a DTM car.

I had a GSX400 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_GSX_series) for a while, which is a pretty pedestrian kind of bike, and turned the bars upside down, and it did feel pretty racy.  And we did go to the odd cafe.

Grouse bike though Mick.
