get down with the sickness!!! Loving the first one... not so keen on the seconds one paint job, if it had the classic yamaha style i could be in to it though!

Both look good though I prefer the RZ500. I also reckon it would be a wheelie machine of note with the upright riding position, what'ya think Stanko....

Style is copied from the old Flat-track racers of the late 70`s,similar to longtack racing,XS 650 Yams were very popular,usually bored out to 750.Yamaha ran works bikes that Kenny Roberts used to ride,they knocked up a TZ750 powered one for him,he reckoned it was the most evil thing he ever slung a leg over,how`s this for a beast of a bike?
