Title: Yam XJR1300 NGC
Post by: kirkemon on July 17, 2015, 12:57:13 PM

I like this, but I think just a little too big. I think an 800 would do.
Thoughts?

I have 1998 Suzuki 1200 Bandit that pretty much covers the same ground and for sure, I like it.  The big Yami air cooled machine has never been offered in the USA.  And even the Bandit has gone to water cooled. 

There is something about that old oil cooled torquey gas hog that makes the Bandit a fun ride.

I like it, wish it were imported here. Guess it depends on what your accustomed to but I like a big bike, I ride a Stelvio so damn near anything else feels small and kind of cramped to me.
