Hi,
your Yam is lovely! Kevin pointed me in your direction. unfortunately i just can't afford the price tag. i know it is worth it and i know how much these things cost to build it is a lot of bike for the money. sadly i just can't stretch to £2950. Are you 100% fan of the XT or are there good and bad reasons for wanting an XT over an XR or vice versa? not sure which way to go, rough ones are available of either bike, any advice or suggestions

Hi thanks for the kind words , yes it is a whole loada bike for the money , trouble is the parts alone cost a fortune and then try finding a nice dona bike to start with , it soon adds up , but good luck anyways and if you get stuck feel free to drop me a line !
As for Yam over Honda , there really is'nt a lot in it , but after riding mine and looking at past history in the states , with RJ riding his bike to stardum , I'd build another Yam if I had too , but then again I've not ridden a Curtis / C&J / JBR Honda ... but then again I dont have 7 grand in my back pocket !
Have fun ,
All best
Greg
Ps, Thanks Kev !

Hi Greg,
would it be possible to view your bike, have a chat etc. everytime i see a load of rubbish sell for £1200 to £1500 it moves me nearer to buying something like yours. my number is on the post, could you text me or call me please and hopefully we can arrange something. cheers Tony

I have a Second Plan..
I have amassed some parts for a 550 Yam.With 79 Frame etc...The 600 ,I will start putting together tomorrow..It is far too Nice to Take off the Road..Will get it Mot*d.Then flog on to Finance The 550.
One set of Forks Has just cot me £9.99 Plus P&P@ £12.50.This is getting way too expensive...
Happy New Year to all...

I can see we are going to have a class for bikes with restricted expenditure if people are
going to be throwing money about like that! :-)

Hi All,
i would just like to thank Greg for taking the time over christmas to discuss and view his bike. it really is LOVELY BIKE, very tastefully presented and finished off with all the right parts. more to the point sounds as good as it looks. unfortunately due to the high standard it is sadly out of my price range, despite greg doing his utmost make it within my grasp. Thanks again Greg, good luck with the sale, however i can think of worse bikes to have left in my shed!

It Looks like an up together Bike.Nice and Compact..Out of my Range as well .That is why i Like to see the Special Machines that are put together at Low cost,,Might not be the Bee*s Knee*s,but still good enough to give someone a lot of fun....On the other Hand ... The Thought and Skill that has gone into Martin Perret*s
Ktm Gear Boxed Triumph is Amazing.Ask Martin and he will say."we cut a bit off that.Stuck a bit on there.Sliced the Box off on one side" etc..I think there is a little more to it than that..As with the nice Bike of Gregs..It must cost a fortune...
