I love the old SS series. Have a good buddy that owns one and used to race one. Great bikes, lotsa torque, awesome chassis. He also has another old school SS, a V&H FZR 600 from 92. Yellow and Magenta just like the factory Yamaha AMA effort. Sure it's slow but itsa cool ride!

OTB, do you re-register every bike that you buy & sell? Seems like that would rack up the costs pretty quickly. How high are the taxes there?

I say again...MAN, you can type! I didn't read the whole thing but I'm sure that you made some valid points and managed to put down GSXRs in some way... J/K

Great write up! I really enjoyed it.

The Duc that caught my eye recently was this little gem. They want like $4000 for it.
