I think the first one is more like a standard xs than flat tracker  :-\

Seems to be more of them Stateside than over here, or maybe the Yanks just don't appreciate them as much as us.
I wonder what it'd cost to ship an engine over the pond?

Yeah right. My Mum's been in New York & Florida for the last month.
Have you felt how heavy those things are? Takes 2 people to lift an XS engine. Gawd knows what they put in 'em to make them so heavy!

I remember Yamaha's TR1 when it came out, a V Twin of 1000cc, good potential, but in my eyes aesthetically challenged, infact, I've never seen one that looks 'good', until ebay sprung up this one. Its sold but I reckon worth a couple of snaps to see what folks think.
