Stolen off Friendface...

"Boxer engine in the K75S frame from 1986 with Ducati Biposto rearend and Suzuki Hayabusa fork and Kawasaki ZRX1100 frontmask"

I'm not sure why you'd put an R engine in a K frame... unless just because you can?

Looks a tidy job - much better than a lot of the stuff you see.

In a weird way I like it... but why is the right question!

I quite like it too. I guess the answer is, if you can then why not?

It's probably ruined by some fat bloke in combat pants riding it though :D

That's more than just tidy - it's verging on immaculate.

Is it me or does something not look right looking at it from in front ?

Think it's a wide angle lens making it all look out of whack...probably a phone.

I had a black one, lovely sports tourer, used it for a track day at Snetterton, I was in Inters and passed a couple of R1s on the start straight with it.

It's the wrong colour. They should be 'cocktail'.

I don't think the 600s ever came in cocktail.
My mate had a maroon one, it could be this one as we're only 20 miles from Colchester, it didn't look good, but it was very cheap as no one wanted it.

It might well have been called cocktail, who knows what Yamaha called their various shell suit colour schemes of the 90s
