Motu's in love.

The low centre of gravity is good for gravel roads and on the beach - who said this thing was gunna be any good,but sideways with that much grunt would be fun.Stopping is not worth thinking about.

Hey Oscar - I'm lounging in my office chair exploring a bottle of tawny port...daydreaming about how I could unleash hidden talent with a bike worthy of my meager finances.How about I road sweep the Te Akau leg of the Rally NZ on the Yamasaki? Give those tin tops a benchmark time and see if they could get near it.

''good rep'' means these guys don't know shit.

Holly F@rk spman what the hell is that bike!?!?!

A Cold Kiwi refugee - good for chasing sheep at 160k and current burnout champ from last year! When he finished and the smoke cleared - there was no tyre - nothing - just a shiny rim (and a fucked motor...but...he'll be back)

Nah, you need this, you do

I`ve seen a picture of that in a book.Built by a bloke called Gary Soden,his riding gear matches the bike,his jacket has got fins all down the back.It`s originally a Suzi GSX750 but he reckons it was too ugly.

What he really needs is this,it's pretty and made for a weakling like him.

No no no, Although you are looking for a 'small trail bike to do trail rides with' Knowing that you have a XLV750 and a Guzzi Stornello what you realy want (need) is a Guzzi Quota providin that you are over 6 foot tall.

[QUOTE=Motu]Motu thinks this is the bike for him - please explain to him that it's fucking bug ugly,and people would laugh at him on an ugly bike - he thinks he doesn't care,but deep down he plays for the crowd.

Jez, Motu. Hope you have got over it. If not, it's nothing the a good paint job wouldn't fix (or running it over with your Pajaro a few times!). You need a Staight Eye For The Queer Guy! Hope it preform better that it looks!

While I was browsing the web for info on Yam`s new 660 Supermoto I found an interview with one of their designers who said they actually put an XS650 motor into an XT600 frame years ago and were toying with the idea of releasing it.They didn`t of course but it was the inspiration for the 750 Tenere,forerunner to the TDM850.
