Btw, I'm not convinced he put enough strength back in after removing the engine, but he says the battery box is structural.

Yeah, the swing arm attaches to the motor on the stock bike, not the frame.
I suppose I should watch the video to find out how he got round that.

You could deffo make that battery box strong enough to replace the engine.
I'm not saying that he actually did though

XJ6 Yamaha... all the way back to 2009.
For some reason the US one got a split seat too, the UK model got a one piece.

I'd forgotten all about those, and their weird rear shock... came out in 2006 I think, but I still think the XJ6 is closer in looks.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 3:49 pm Doesn't the original 660cc MT03 pre date the XJ6 and has similar styling
