When my brother shoved off from life just the other day, he left this model Yamaha. It looks exactly the same. Only 10,000 kilometers on it from when he purchased it new. It hadn't been ridden in a year, but it was under a roof and had a charger on it the whole time. It took awhile to get it started, figure out the choke and idling adjustment, but then it ran just fine. I took it out for a spin, no bike license or helmet, the hell with the cops. His wife says that she wants to learn to ride it, we'll see.... I hope she can. Not the easiest bike to ride, low power when starting out from a stop, it takes some gymnastics until the rpms increase.
