Glad to see you've got the Yam. YAS-1 in it's right place @ top. A red one of those was my firsr ever bike when I was in the RAF out in Cyprus. I bought it @ Samero @ the 5 ways road crossing in Limassol. They'd loaned me a clapped out old Honda 90 to keep me quiet as they'd only open up the crate to take out 2 bikes @ a time & I was waiting on their next order. After practising on it for ages, when I stepped on the YAS-1 for the first time & just lightly touched the throttle ( compared to the crappy Honda ! ) I raced up the road a 100 yds & smacked this Greek off his bicycle.
Trouble with red paint out there, it soon starts to "orange peel" so I got my mate to repaint it in DTD.5555 paint which was rock hard in mid night blue. - I used to blow him off on his Honda 160 on accelaration every time.
- That was back in the good old days before Thatcher & May were ever heard !
