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.

Found this lovely clean XS on Ebay USA, and the guys fitted a 4 leading shoe front brake from a '72 Suzuki kettle - looks the biz!
