wow.  Only 250 miles since rebuild.   I think I'd feel better if it was 1500 miles on it.

pretty bike.  top of the market.

Had 2 of these go through my hands back in the 1970's...  One I rebuilt, over-bored to 710cc (if I recall correctly), a mild cam upgrade and some simple Bates pipes.  I couldn't believe how that lit a fuse in it and made my stock bike expose how pathetic it was.  They really seem to react to a little massaging.

Very nicely done.  One of the better Yammies I've seen.  Add better shocks and cartridge emulators would be my upgrades.

This is on Vancouver Craigslist, pretty cool work, and almost a Guzzi!
