It has hub center steering. the front hub sits on a ball allowing the wheel to steer. It probably has the turning radius of the Queen Mary. In 1993 Yamaha did this with the GTS1000. I rode one at Daytona. Cool bike, kind of a gentlemanly sport bike. Like old Beemers with Earles forks, this arrangement eliminates front end dive when braking, because the torque reaction from the brake tries to lift the front end. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh253/Gyrobob_theOriginal/Yamaha-GTS1000199301Large.jpg |

Periodically do a Yahoo search for Swiss Condor 350. They pop up for sale a few times each year. It's built around a Ducati 350 motor. |

Tires would need replacing afterwards, I would think. |

Title: Re: Wild SR400... Post by Oldfeller on 02/17/12 at 15:28:12 Naw, I got's visions of a sweet little bike that weighs a lot less than I do wid me riding on boots with magnesium skid plates on the bottom of them. Draggin' a sliding dab and making lots of huge white sparks as we wheel around them slow moving hurley blobs on the inside of their "way fat" turn radii. Showering them with love, in other words. That's the very best and safest time to pass a Hurley -- he's committed to his big fat slow turn radius and he CAN'T make it any tighter so as to come over and run into you. Mostly it just blows their minds momentarily and then they go straight for a little bit ... giving you a little extra room (nice of them, ain't it?) By the time they get their acts together again Bigzuk is blowing past them, or Toymaker and they tend to remember them, not me. Or better yet they speed up to try to catch up with me :o (temporarily anyway) http://www.powroll.com/P_YAMAHA_TTR125.htm |
