The only problem I had with this bike was the alternator, which packed up at forty thousand miles, but I was able to get this rewound for £70. Yamaha wanted £480 for replacement one.
A lovely bike. Would love to get another one. Even though I'm six foot five, I still found it comfortable, even on long distances. A perfect first big bike.
A cheap to insure, cheap to run, and still does 160 plus, eighty's super sport.
I managed to keep up with my mate's Ninja 900 with no trouble.
Good god man, you do 160 mph on this aging bike?
