    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

New Yamaha thumper for '15

  • Thread starter Thread starter GSX1000E
  • Start date Start date
I'm having trouble getting past the weight. 384 lbs for a kick start only, air-cooled 400cc single?? What the hell is the frame made out of, depleted uranium??
 
Lol,"new" thumper.When I clicked on the link I thought I was in 79 again.Not many SR500 or SRX600's left in Canada as lots of them where bought up and sent overseas to more appreciative markets.Not saying you can't find them but they're rarer than they really should be.Kick only left them rooted in the showroom then and will probably do the same for the "new" version.
 
I liked this one better...

Definitely. The SRX was fantastic.
 
"The lines don't match. It looks all crisscrossed."

You just described every ugly plumbing nightmare made by Ducati.
 
Funny. Yami ditched the kicker on some dirtbikes and quads, and it's drastically annoying in that application to have electric-only. I know of 3 toys in 3 different garages that will not start today without a trip to battery warehouse. All mine will start 3 kicks/pulls or less after sitting months.

Perhaps some models, but not all. PLus the sound of a Ducati makes up for any ugly it may have.
 
The lines don't match. It looks all crisscrossed. In my opinion it just doesn't look as good as the other model.

I guess I don't see the lines on the SRX the same way you do. I think it all works together nicely, and in person it looks better than it shows in the angle of that shot. Loved it in 1986, still love it. The funny little exhaust made it, endearing, somehow. They were a bit corked up though, but it was a platform just begging to be modded.
