I don't know if this even fits in this topic, as I don't have a clue what it's age is. I just knew that I had to share it...

Definitely would be my bike of choice back in that day... although I heard they earned the reputation "widow makers" for their scary corner handling.

That and a Z900. :D

But I love my old 1982 Yamaha Seca 650R, I'd buy it new again if Yamaha ever re-sold it.

Where did all the lovely classic naked bikes go? Today I couldn't even find a Seca 650R for sale on eBay (US and UK).
