This is a bit different. A Yamaha DragStar bobber. Thoughts? #motosky #motorbike #bikesky #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #dragstar

How long does someone actually spend on an arse-perch like that before they require surgery to remove it, or a 7lb mallet to batter the haemhorroids back up? Just curious... 😅

I think they only ride a few miles to Box Hill, have a long coffee then ride it home and wash it on the drive. 😂

Can't go wrong with a Yamaha Star no matter how you dress it.

I wish Yamaha hadn't (mostly) dipped out of cruisers. I used to ride a Road Star and it was "more Harley than Harley". Loved that bike. My only nit with it was poor metallurgy. Rust was a problem as it aged.

The cheaper you go the worse the steel.

Like the initial minimalistic urge, but the exausts curve pokes my eye. Would curve them lightly at the start and finish straight back. Or do them extra short.
