ya i just put in a new clutch,it had the carbs cleaned,sync,had the timing adjusted,new mirrors, spedo cable,brakes bleed,and i have put almost 150 miles on it and the new clutch has about 40 miles on it,i have it apart right now for some cleaning and polishing but should have it going about the time the weather gets a little better. the freaking thing keeps draning my acount lol.i think my camaro is getting jelious. lol

 

oh i think that is a K model Y2K put up.

 

Not mine but exactly like it,even the same **** brown lol.
'72-'73 and yes that is the stock exhaust but not a 4-2 it was the same on both sides.
The little 500four was almost as fast as the 750four,not as much power but a lot lighter.

 

4-4, that makes sense. It looked like a 4-2 in the pic, hence my confusion. lol, all this vintage bike talk makes me want a cx650 (that odd honda with the high/low range) or an early cb750F.

 

i have one for sale lol

 

Of all the UJMs I had and there were a few,the Yamahaha XS 650 Special was my favorite.
Not the fastest thing on the planet but it had wonderful low end grunt and a great exhaust note like the Triumphs it was cloned from.
Pretty comfortable little cruiser as well,far better than the old brick Honda 500.

 

If I was going to by an affordable used bike, I think I would get an 1100 Virago. The 750 I had was a nifty bike, had a surprising amount of torque, and the twin sounded pretty good with the pipes it had. But it was the early style ones, I wasn't too fond of the style. But the next ones looked really good. I'd like one in this color:



Here's the one I had for a while. It had way too many problems, and got to the point where I sold it out of frustration. Found out after I sold it that it was a common ignition problem, easy fix. Oh well.



Oh, I also forgot about the dirtbike I had. I think it was a 79 TL125.

 

The sun is out! We all should meet up for a BBQ sometime, or just go for a cruise somewhere. Or a bike ride, lol

 

Any local cruises coming up? maybe a few of us could meet up at one.

 

None that I know of, but I'm looking around. Might have to make our own cruise.
