 850cc V8. Bike came with it's own fedora... Too bad it never made it. 100 hp with a V8 was bullshit.

Arizona doesn't gently caress around with DUIs. Mandatory jail time, first offense, even someone blows under .08. Basically, he's hosed.

Yamaha built you a new bike so you can go riding with your Japanese dad. I think. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/2015/july/yamaha-reveal-retro-inspired-xsr700-/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zev0x9LIM3A

Fast bikes are overrated. This will get you to death speed plenty quick enough and might even be capable of going up and down a mountain. No it's probably not magnificent or impressive in any single way, but motorcycles in general are fun. And this one seems like a thing you could have as an only bike, particularly if you lived in a city. 74 hp and 50mpg is perfect for having a little fun or commuting. Looks like Yamaha is trying to give the Ducati Scrambler a run for it's money. Looks like they might do a good job.

Yeah I'm not sure they totally nailed the styling, especially the airbox, but I think it's going to be a great bike. People seem to like the fz 07. At a grand less than the Scrambler they probably have a winner.

I like everything except the motor. and exhaust. ...and get rid of that radiator, lovely headlight, mirrors, tail / license plate holder and give me some proper USD forks. So basically everything below the top of the gas-tank needs to go. I'm still undecided on the seat.

Snuck out for a joyride during my lunch break today. This is the view from my turn-around point: Left side's all foggy, right side's all nice and clear. Work is on the gloomy side. Angryboot fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Jul 23, 2015 |

Nah, go to GMR instead. The only reason why I'm on Angeles today is because my work is 5 miles away.

No assignment, I wish I could get some arrangement like that going. Thats all from walking around, I dont know anyone in the photos. hot sauce posted:Great pics. Can you post the full album? Where in Japan? I'll post an album up sometime, the rest are scenery not so much motorcycles. The photos are from Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and maybe some from surrounding areas.
