C-spec Bolt-Cafe / Cruiser

[stealth1]

Another new model from Yamaha.

Looks like cheap fun.

I like the increase in lean angle, rearward moved pegs and optional shocks.

Recommended this to a woman rider buddy who's far outgrown her 250cc bike. She likes the butch SoA look, but she's as sweet as pecan pie with vanilla ice cream.

Sweet, should sell

Stick a fairing on it like one of these and sell a million of 'em...

The ONLY Harley I ever consider buying...'til I drove one!

Got one of these, instead...

I've always loved the Cafe racer look. I bobbed CB750SS one winter, she was black, shortened front and rear fenders and seat pan, 4-1 muzzy exhaust, Airbox removed with 4 individual filters and the requisite Generic Cafe Fairing.

Once i got the jetting worked out she ran pretty sweet. I scored a deal somewhere on some Ohlins shocks for the rear and some kind of kit for the front tubes as well. Not a great handler but looked and sounded cool as hell.

I eventually sold her on ebay to a guy in Vermont for more than I had in it. Wish i had a picture,
