Well, here's the whole story.

My colleague Marco passed away at the end of May 2021 at the age of 56. He left me this motorcycle. Together with a friend we decided to fix the bike.

Technically the bike is 100%, engine, gearbox, clutch and brakes are fine. There is a lot going on, especially optically, because the Yamaha has been outside under a tarp for years, near the sea. A lot of chrome has been affected and there are steel brackets where no paint can be found at all. We will have it partly re-chromed and powder coated. We want to paint the bike in twotone, probably red/black.

Our goal, well sort of. Engine and engine parts will be black matt.

Long way to go:

Mufflers (if someone has these laying around, please contact me):

No paint left at all:
