here’s my 03 yamaha 600R. it has about 14,xxx miles on it now, i bought it used just under 13,xxx miles. i just got the motorcycle endorsement on my license this past march and i freakin love the thing.
in progress, started this one in january, its about ready for teardown for prep and paint. My softail is in my avatar. my next project is a 1973 triumph trident restoration that i inherited from my father when he passed this year.
Beautiful to look at but the bike is brutal to ride around town. The clutch is ridiculously heavy, the mirrors are laughable, by being stretched out over the tank you can’t check over your shoulder for traffic, and the ergos guarantee a trip to the chiro after a 2 hour ride.
