Overall yes, but it needs a rear mudguard and sidepanels.

Everyone is entitled to ruin a good bike but that's just taking the piss.
I can only assume he didn't get it as a standard bike because if he did and turned it into that then he needs twatting.

Be nice when it's finished.
It looks like an 03/04 Z1000 exhaust cut down.

Re: Yamaha XT600 supermoto by 86 Gear Motorcycles
Not nice especially the back end and exhaust, there is a much nicer one in this months Classic Bike but can't find a picture though. It is by one of the big XT restorers who normally does them back to show room original but has done a flat tracker style on out of bits he had than were no good to make a show room example.

Lol! It kinda reminds me of the "bobtailed" jump bikes from a few years back. I shouldn't like it, but for whatever reason, I do.derek badger wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 10:12 pmDid you optician put bathroom glass in your spectacles???

Re: Yamaha XT600 supermoto by 86 Gear Motorcycles
Because it came in that frame? I'm presuming from the twin carbs and the 630 decal on the tank the engine has been modified.

Tdr front wheel, fzr1000 disc, gsxr11 caliper, ntv600 front master cylinder and somp plumbing pipe cut down to add pteload to the forks
Engine. Srx600 carbs, dynojet kit(no kit was available for the xt) wisco hi comp piston, pod filters,supertrapp exhaust, converted to kick-start, starter motor and all gubbins Inc the bit on the flywheel removed, revved much faster, approx 45bhp at the rear wheel on the dyno after setup
Rear end rebuilt rear wheel with a 3.5x17 wheel(early cbr600 size, used scrub am23's)

Re: Yamaha XT600 supermoto by 86 Gear Motorcycles
I doubt if it makes 40bhp, a standard XT600 is about 25bhp, at best 30, trail bike DRZ400s are noticeably faster.
