This follows on from a post from a while back, "nice bike, but what is it?" Which turned out to be a Kawasaki Z400 in 60s off road style. Well here's another of Japan's small twins, a Yamaha XS400 in a similar style. Nicely done, even has Triumph/ BSA conical hub wheels for "that" look.
TBH at first glance I thought it was a Triumph 'til read the write-up and looked at the bike again. Looks nice
ReplyDeleteAnd somewhere there is a Triumph with Yamaha brakes... nice little XS-400, that's one I've never ridden or worked on. I'm curious about the new style dual purpose tires. Tire technology has come a long ways since the "classic" era. OK, now I won't feel so bad running an alloy tank off of a Yamaha on one of my British bikes. HL
