Yamaha SRX6 1986
'Good looking retro before retros where popular, styled on 60's cafe racers. Basically it was Yamaha's twin carb XT600 single cylinder engine bored out to 608cc in a road going twin steel cradle frame with numerous FZ600/RD cycle parts of the time. Launched in 1985 it was a big thumper single cylinder bike with kick start, 18' wheels, clip-ons, no fairing, round headlight, twin shocks and silver paint. Although later '90's models went to 17' wheels, monoshock, electric start and had a much revised frame/style. Mine was a japanesse import which differed from the UK spec in that it had Ohlins supension, twin discs and different pillion peg arrangement. Mine was a bit of dog when I got it at 10yrs old, but cleaned up well. Proved reliable when carbs overhauled, with ride quality being quite good if now outdated but it still looks nice enough.' "
