In the advert he says his TZR is better.

Re: FFS somebody buy this and save me from another old Yamaha
I never liked my TZR as much as my 1st YPVS, though my YPVS had another 100cc, the TZR handles and brakes better, but they're tiny, you feel like you're riding a 125.
I've barely ridden my 2nd YPVS so I don't know what it's like yet, but it will be the same as the 20 (probably) other ones I've ridden, they all feel much the same if they're in good condition.

Re: FFS somebody buy this and save me from another old Yamaha
If you like that sort of thing then nothing else will do, but I've said this before, you need to just buy something decent and stop messing about with shitters.
Or buy a shitter and spend the money to make it a very nice thing.

Re: FFS somebody buy this and save me from another old Yamaha
It's me and power valves, I desperately wanted one from 1983 to 1990, got one early in 1990, though I'm guessing I first rode one in 1987, maybe 1986, so I knew what they were like, they were out of my budget until 1990.weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 2:15 pmAmen to that... i don't get that one in the slightest.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 11:53 amBeauty really is in the eye of the beholder isn't it?Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑ It's too pretty
The only other bike I've wanted that much was the first R1.

See I do, but fortunately my genetic make up saved me from a lifetime of angst like our cheesy friend (and plenty of others) simply by being miles too big for them!weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 2:15 pmAmen to that... i don't get that one in the slightest.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 11:53 amBeauty really is in the eye of the beholder isn't it?Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑ It's too pretty

Re: FFS somebody buy this and save me from another old Yamaha
I've just had a look on t'bay for XS650's, to see if the Hipster demand had driven the prices up, but they still seem sensible money.
Although I did spot this minger!

He wants stupid money for the RS250, even with a ding in the frame.
Be interesting to see what he 'expects' the RZ to be worth.
