Cmon Bill I seem to remember you being the former proud owner of a YZ400. Yes I believe it is F but it is heavily disguised.
The hubs apparrently are a bit of nostalgia based on what guys were doing to their bikes in the golden years of MX. In fact maybe thats where the Marlborogh Yamaha drew their inspiration for the fluro bikes from.

Where? Lithuania?
The poor bugger had the right idea with his 'dare to be different' slant on a boring white plastic bike but sadly he didn't know when to stop. Black or blasted hubs, a less in your face gold on the swingarm and a few less stickers and it'd be a pretty neat bike.

Funny you should say that.. Vanilla Ice actually does ride MX in the states.
-
I knew i'd seen that bike before, just couldn't remember where.. but it's written all over the seat. :)
-
Hey Paul, That Bike sounds like good buying at 7500 US PASO's
Cheers Brett
-
Pass.
-
Hi Marc, do you know where your friend got the rear chain adjusters from?
-
sorry i want to vomit :(
-
Geez Firko....Maybe i should paint my boring white plastic bikes
What colour you recommend?
-
Yuk, looks like a two wheel go kart,(an Arrow) to much bling, bring back the original look.
-
Jock....In my opinion it`s much harder to try and replicate original looks and source original parts than just buying after market bolt on bits
(http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss270/ted84photos/TedsYZ.jpg)
Try and build this and tell me its easy to do the norm and follow the crowd
The parts bills alone totalled more than the purchase price of that bike
-
Very nice bike there Ted, that is just the way I remember them not like the bitsa bike it looks shit.
Cheers Mick.
-
A beautifull original looking bike, excellent job ted. now thats the way they should look.

Yeah. Agreed.
You couldn't ride a bike like that near an epileptic.
