bluenorth Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) Hey great to see a mono enthusiast, I've a couple I've restored. This one hasn't been, it's never been riden. it's been sitting in my spare bedroom since new, it's been started a couple times but that was years ago. It's never even been washed, actually the original shipping grease is still on the chain. I think I'll compete it next year (kidding). I really don't know what to do with it, would you ride it?

yamaha_rocks Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi, tank in the background is off a late 70's MX80, which my son first started trials on. It's left over from a previous project where i made up one bike out of two. yes the colours are 'Scorpa' and Yamaha blue inspired. cheers.

Jeff <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I always think "Get it out and get it ridden" when I hear about restored bikes....BUT...A brand new 20 year old bike???? That is amazing, I would keep it as new to be honest, especially as you have others that you can ride. What d'ya reckon, the only new TY left in the world???? Maybe not, but very rare. As soon as you ride it you make it just a tidy TY. I reckon it's something special - keep it new (or sell it to me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky g Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) A new 20 year old bike...now that is cool. If I won the lotto I'd do something like that, but as it is I've got to ride what I've got... I wonder why the 350 version never made it over to the UK ??
