It's a Dutch bike and had it's first miles mid 2005. A friend of mine bought it in 2008. He had a BMW 800 'something' as a daily bike. He hasn't used the Yamaha for more than 5 years. It was stored outside under a tarp. I got it mid 2021. After transporting it to my house we checked al the fluids and jump started it. It started at the first attempt! Paint and chrome are in bad shape. Engine, gearbox, shocks etc. are ok. So we've decided to renovate the bike.
@@dutchglobetrotter6464 it’s sad too see bikes like these go to waste rotting. Here in the US, there are hundreds of bikes abandoned, sitting for many years with very little miles. The majority of people here only care about Harley bikes, which is sad because metrics offer so much more. You’re doing a great job!
Looking really good Like the color. I was thinking you wouldnhave did a two tone color.
Hi Robert, you can see the two tone colors in episode 8!

Wow, the before & after is coming out great. What is the history of that motorcycle? Where did it come from?
