This is my 1981 XS650H Yamaha vertical twin. I have owned for about 15 years. A bike I think is a classic.

Blues, nice bike !! I'm partial to the Yamaha V-Star. Can you tell me who's aftermarket shield, backrest and luggage rack your bike has on it ? Here is a photo of my 07 Silverado, I love the bike.

The windshield is a Memphis Shades. A bit less expensive than the Yamaha one.

The back rest and back luggage rack are Yamaha...but I bought them second hand. The fender rack is the Yamaha brand.

My bike now has saddlebag supports (Yamaha) and some second hand saddlebags as well.

The beautiful blue machine is my first ever bike....650cc... I plan to upgrade for next season.

Your all burgundy looks good. How many miles on your 07 so far?

I have about 1,600 miles on the Silverado, but should have more, I share riding miles with my other bike. I have had some 250 and 300 mile days on the Silverado and I love it so far. I traded in my 03 650 V-star classic on the Silverado, and was sort of sad to see it go.

1984 FJ600

This was the first in-line 4 introduced in the US from any manufaturer. It was the forefather to all the 600 super bikes on the road today.

Well I think the FZR series is a classic.

The V-Max is truly a timeless classic. It hasnt changed other than minor changes in 20+ years
