thanks... walk around... mmm not too into that for now... but it may be of interest to show you when I first got the bike running...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4oUo_8-sxBI.html
What are the little black boxes hanging on the left mirror for? It has me most puzzled. These little SRX sound better at 60 than tickover! Might be good and light for this old man to manage??
This was a 2013 posting listing of the bike before I got it off Ebay raresportbikesforsale.com/young-and-single-1986-yamaha-srx600/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2nQoWS4oZUJhqw7fXlx69KWedrca-DT6pcl1gzG-sPqNttwirB5mwqCQ0_aem_AXwi6NstCGfEF-nqj9VB69TIKNyrGn3jiBQ4AAACguXjW7UMXMycTITlXaWkUE88gfS1IS_P_KuewohhZvN2cdfK
Wish Yamaha would bring back the SRX600, maybe with some engine updates (more performance) and better stock suspension. Wider rims for 120/160 tires, everything else the same. Great bike!
Mostly, I like riding alone, this is a special occasion where it is the road test for one of the SRXs... whose rider is... very deep into all kinds of motorbikes and racing, so, I felt it was good once in a while... the SRX is not a slow bike but I like to stop and smell the flowers and take photos, hahaha.
From your other videos I gather that you are in SoCal somewhere. In '90 I rode an SRX from Toronto to Ottawa to Vancouver to L.A. and back through Arizona and Utah. It was a great trip, the bike a little small to carry much equipment, but it worked, including a small tent. I loved riding on Highway 1, it was much smaller and twistier than I thought it would be, and also the Redwoods.
Toshi Nakama, SRX rider, who I just learned tonight had died... was a man who made his living with quality sound... Vestax . I never met him but I dedicate this passage of SRX sound to you, it is mostly clear driving at my own pace, the dog tired and done with his business is zipped into his bag and relaxed.
