^Now that's a calendar pic!^
I bought one new in 73. Sold it to raise funds to get married. Nice to see yours where are you based?That is just supurbbbbb, what year is that ?
I do not need another XS650...
(I would insist that my wife call me "Dude", as it would enhance the romance between us).
Duke,When I was young, my nickname was Duke, everyone called me Duke. I even worked in a fleet garage where I wore uniforms with my name "Duke" on a patch on my shirt. When I met my first wife , I told her call me Duke!
She looked at me flatly and said, " Your name is Bob! "
Sigh...been Bob ever since. She took my Mojo!
Duke,
Its not too late to get it back.
Haha! That’s all right, that ship has sailed.
Bob I am!
This machine right here is built by Kustom Special Components, or KSC, from Italy. One of the team members, Massimo, is an Italian engineer living in the UK. The KSC shop is located in Italy and is run by his partner Fabio, who is specialized in machining parts and welding. They took a Yamaha XV750 Virago as a base bike with a clear plan: building the new wave version of this classic bike with some race spirit.
The first look clearly shows that they were pretty serious. It looks modern, has an aggressive racy stance and the materials and color palette just seem to work out pretty well for the Virago. Rest of the words by Massimo.
Agreed. The 2 above do nothing for me, but espcially the top one could be made better looking with a little simpler design, imo.I've really tried to like the looks of that Yamaha 90 degree v-twin but have never been able to get there.
