1997 Yamaha XJ900S review from Australia
"Solid and reliable without being in any way spectacular"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Screen has started to "buzz" -- more annoying than a problem, I guess.
General comments?
I reviewed this bike just after I bought -- now, it's a lot more km on!
The love affair has grown!!
