Noted, haggy.

I see they did a nice job of replicating, a cough-cough. Both are two different cough's. Especially the rear fender on the VT. The YamaCough may have a hard time coming up, I have no clue? Never rode one. The VT I'm familiar with. There is every larryurkle on the back wheel with a cough-cough. No problem with that Milwaukee monster bringing on the torque. That is bottom end speak. However, that VT needed a road test after a 'complete service.' That meant, sync those pigs. If I grab at the cable, set to the stops, never pulling clutch in, meaning, it either has it right there, not up some rpm, burn the plates first to find it.

The ape needs a little burn to carry it across the intersection from a dead stop. But to punch it in 2nd as if you punch the 14? Nope, won't happen. You gain rpm on the 1000, you speed forward. You gain rpm on the 14, your front wheel gains more air between the road.

Ass my kind of bike.

Ya...I wasn't bent.Sometimes my'YOU' statements get interpreted as meaning...'you'...like I'm talking about someone else.I normally mean..."me' actually.Like saying..."you can't help but spin that tire if you da da da"...Sa'll good Hagrd.I talk like that to try and keep "me' out of the center of whatever it is.Maybe I should just say..."I" this or "I" that.Might be better actually.

Grn: copy that. Also, did i read somewhere that you perform submerged welding? I dont mean submerged-arc. I mean you actually dive and weld.

Hub: leave it to you to find a roadstar the exact same color as mine. I think there were eight factory colors that year.
The one you posted has every accessory yamakawk sells for that model and then some. I put 48,000 miles on mine
and only got run over by a car once.

Yep...at one time way back I did underwater welding.Mark 5 suit...and the whole nine yards.Back then I could swim a mile non-stop under one hour without fins.115's the deepest I dove with that Mark 5.Surface supplied.

Don't worry bout low end grunt. Mine will idle in 6th @38km/h and pull away smoothly.

"Don't worry bout low end grunt." No other bike can do that without many bumps, chunks, hiccups, coughs... And hat my fren... IS, low end grunt.

Gawd! So excited to get one. Anyone want an old XX with 80K? lol
