Hey hey, looking good!

Hey! Be careful, though.

^Yeh, check out the other bike thread in General Automotive!

Neways well done on your purchase! Not much of a bike guy myself but I do like how cheap they are and how they make you feel.

I'm sure this will put a smile on your face.
Take care

Sweet, but it looks like a wimpy and underpowered bike. :?

 

[Lukhas]

Viper : 600cc is enough for a first bike

 

[mmap]

Way to go, welcome to the biking community!

And yes 600cc is more than enough, first bike or not.

Too bad it's winter in here and not much riding possible...

 

[Viper007Bond]

I didn't say it was, it's just an odd looking bike, that's all.

80s look, they all looked like that

you like them, or you don't

i do

 

[jensked]

I think it looks great...and a Yamaha still is a Yamaha

That bike will probably smoke a 911 turbo in a straight line.

My buddy has the same bike, except it's the 1000cc version.

Have fun.

what happened?

 

[Z Draci]

I actually just sold my CB750.
I'm going to downgrade to a cheaper 250cc model and reserve more money for my car.

 

[zenkidori]

Very cool stuff! 80s bikes rule!

 

[Tomo Motorsport]

Back in the day, I thought that was the coolest looking bike, but then I saw the Ducati 916.

what happened?

I live in NYC and if you have ever been there, the streets are the most poorly maintained streets you have ever seen in a big city. Anyway, it was late at night as I was coming up to my friend's garage, the street literally caved in. The front dug in and I went from 30-0 in under a second and flipped over the handle bars. Thankfully, no serious injuries (I was wearing my leathers and my helmet, although my helmet took quite an amount of damage) and only a bruised tailbone. I can't sit for more than 30 minutes without it hurting. And I have gotten an x-ray and such, nothing broken.
