Is it? I haven't a Scooby if I'm honest, just saw the Yamaha badge on the engine case and the snacks box near the headstock.

Quite a cohesive design there. There would have been some graft involved. I don't want it,but I do admire it.

It's had some work done recently, earlier in the year it looked like this...

I like it, but could do without the rear tyre being quite so wide.

the only way to guarantee anyone can see an image from something like facebook is to download the jpg file itself and host it again somewhere (eg an attachment in the forum)

I didn't know they had dry clutches...

Standard ones have wet clutches, it'll be a race kit clutch, I still wonder if I did the right thing buying a YZF750R when I could have bought an OW01 with the same mileage for the same money (£5500 in 1996), the YZF was a lot nicer to ride.

That upside down tank protector is triggering my OCD tho'

You have 100% just described a mate of mine

He purchased a mint one to convert to a cafe racer.

Slightly worrying that the seller doesn't know the difference between an RS and RT.

Someone in Fife doesn’t have room for more money?

Maybe on Planet Bizarro!

A great old mile muncher,hardly run in at 19k.

Wasn't the RS the first road bike with a wind tunnel tested fairing?
