you dont "hotrod" a Ferrari or Aston Martin do you?.....or an RN/RH RC etc
Nice bike those YZ's but it's a bit pompous putting them in the same class as a Ferrari or Aston, let alone RH/RN or even a YZ360A. They're rare but not that rare. As far as hot rodding Astons or Ferraris..go and have a look at the GT class at your friendly local road race meeting. They're hotted up to the shit house, tubbed, cut and shut and all sorts of stuff done to them.

If the bike was a nice clean barn find like those on the Swapmeet I'd go the 20 point resto but Marc's (with a C) old YZ has been through the hillbilly treatment already so why not give it a bit of a hot rod touch up. ::)

BTW...Not deserting "the sinking ship" was a damn fine thing to do IMO.

I left the rats to desert and based my decision on science and that I have 60 staff that I am not about to piss off on.

Anyway having wet my whistle on my MX250 ,I am looking forward to doing the biz with the YZ.

Its pretty barn fresh but for well under 2 grand Aussie good starting point. Nothing like painting a tank black to reduce its value

Yes but it was purely a social visit, friend of mine had a shocking experience there.  ;D

Anyways blacky the YZ will get some suitable love. I have another nice PDI swinger ... this bike is my inspiration

and get rid of that ridiculous nickel coated pipe and the Yamaha signage off the fork legs, I think we know it's a Yamaha. Other than those little things it's a nice hot rod Yammy ;).
