    Bit of a bastard but still gorgeous.

    Came across this on the TL site and thought some would like it here,the guy recently bought it off a former Yosh employee and is fitted with yosh cams ported head,33mm round slides,yosh exhaust was refitted with a bassani (spelling)updated swingarm and bits n bobs but bloody gorgeous.started life as an E not S.Methinks it would sound damn sweet.

    ha ha nice man
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Nice!

    Love how the rear springs are colour coded with the bike.

    Ah, the GS1000. First bike I ever scared myself shitless on.

    It's got the GSX1100 wheels on that one too, if I'm not mistaken.

    Wouldn't mind a fang on one of those again.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Yea not sure on the wheels thing mate,wish i could get better pics of it and some could spot the bastard bits,he picked it up for bugger all and despite being in great nick the guy that owned it being a longtime yosh worker and the bits in it give it a bit of history for sure.Very nice.He only mentioned upgraded swinger but not what it was off.

    I reckon they're off a GSX1100E:



    Or at the very least he's taken the rotors off a GSX. The GS didn't have the slotted rotors.

    Brings back memories of young recklessness. Very well done.
