Saw a baby 1st gen

[Midrsv]

I found a baby 1st gen parked outside a store today. I had never seen one before. It turned out to be a Yamaha Vision. I googled the model and it is a 550 V-twin. But it sure lookd like a V-4 with two pipes coming off the front cylinder. I didn't examine it closely. Nice looking bike.

Been a long time since I've seen one of these. They really are a precursor to the Venture. I always thought it was cool that Yamaha gave each exhaust valve its own exhaust pipe.

 

If you research these you'll find that the engines have a ton in common.
