Old School SS - Page 2

smileyman · 09-20-2010, 12:28 PM

I love the old SS series. Have a good buddy that owns one and used to race one. Great bikes, lotsa torque, awesome chassis. He also has another old school SS, a V&H FZR 600 from 92. Yellow and Magenta just like the factory Yamaha AMA effort. Sure it's slow but itsa cool ride!

OTB, do you re-register every bike that you buy & sell? Seems like that would rack up the costs pretty quickly. How high are the taxes there?

I say again...MAN, you can type! I didn't read the whole thing but I'm sure that you made some valid points and managed to put down GSXRs in some way... J/K

I don't put down gsxr's...or R6's , or anything else..
they just aren't my bag...they would have been if I were 30 yrs younger.

Absolute power is fun when you heal fast.................
