Take a classic and turn it into an abortion.

Then exclude dreamers and charge a fortune.

Quite frankly, the biggest dreamer is the seller.

tbh, if it (the TM one) had started out as something a bit more modern, with similar mods, and no faux fiber, it would be pretty neat.

ha, the generic $10 carbon-look sticker on the triple really screams top quality show bike . . .

Yeah, nah.

The only way that old bikes are ever going to fetch top dollar is in original condition.

(FWIW 24 grand is waaaaay beyond top dollar - even in original condition).

Actually I really dig the old 80's tanks being upgraded with modern forks, brakes etc. Katanas, GSX's, Z, CB's etc. Some fail, some are just horny.

Common, admit it, in the day they were great, compared to anything new they handle and stop like a barge. Makes one wonder where we will be in 20 years .........

I agree the price on that one is a joke - change and alter away to ones hearts content I say but do not expect to get your time or $ invested back when selling.

+1 espec on the handling, beats the old spindly frame and narrow arse tyres.

Fookin hell, I hadn't even noticed the price tag, you'd bloody well hope it was real fiber then!

Get rid of the fake carbon crap n that, and I actually quite like it, not $24000 like it though.
I just picked up a copy of the latest amcn with a modern take on a RZ500 on the cover. Sign me up for that right now! PLEASE Yamaha, do what ever it takes!!!

Well actually, I already agree with lots of things Katman says...not that he needs my support of course...but that CBX looks just plain f****d up to me!!
