Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.

Thank you my dear friend for your kind comment. To be honest, I think this XS will end up even better than my Honda CX. :) Cheers.

@@RACER_TV Hi! Would love to know where your shop is in Portugal. Building my own project for the first time so would be wonderful to exchange some thoughts. Appreciated! Jorge

Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.

Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.

I think you are right. It is not by accident that most people consider the XS650 engine, as Yamaha's best engine ever made. :) Cheers.

Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.

Thank you my friend for your kind comment. I'm glad you liked :) Cheers.

Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. Actualmente o processo de construção está ainda em standby. Mas acredito que brevemente terei novidades para apresentar. :) Um abraço.

Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.

Obrigado amigo Fernando. Sinceramente, acho que esta XS ainda vai ficar mais bonita do que a minha honda CX 650. :) Um abraço.

Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.

Hello Ichiban. Nice to see you here again. Thank you for your badass opinion. :) Cheers.

@@RACER_TV I'm still waiting for the XS650

Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.

@@RACER_TV always pleasure, my friend... Might I inquire, is there progress going on, in the project??? Because I think it's rude to ask that "when" it will complete...

Lol. Unfortunately, Leonel is still very busy lately, and the project is still on the same spot. Let's hope that during the following moths, the XS project could go on as I imagined.:) Thank you my friend for your support.

@@RACER_TVvery kind and best wishes for the project and future endeavors, my friend... 👍🙂

Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. Sem duvida que a Yamaha sempre desenvolveu as suas motos a pensar no prazer de condução e na fiabilidade. :) Um abraço.

You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.

Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Saludos

Muito obrigado amigo Paulo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.

Vc por aqui também Paulo Sérgio "Mel", tenho algo que vc não vai acreditar. Abraço

Lol. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

Gostei do YamaTon!!! Voto nele para o concurso do batismo!

Obrigado amigo pelas sugestões. Por acaso já tinha um outro nome de baptismo em mente. Mas isso irá ficar para o futuro video. :) Um abraço.

Lol. Curiosamente, de todos os nomes, também gostei mais do "YamaTon". :)

Olá Amigo Pierre. O seu comentário acertou em cheio no alvo. Disse precisamente aquilo que estou a tentar fazer. Ver tudo o que uma mota dos anos 60 tinha, e que poderia ter sido melhorado. Obrigado. Fico contente que tenha gostado. Boa sorte para o seu futuro projecto. :) Um abraço.

Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.

Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.

I'll second that offer.

Lol. Well let's see how things are going to happen. To be honest, it is extremely hard from me to sell anything I have. :) Cheers.

@@RACER_TV I do wish it was a 533 engine that can be rephased to 270/90 engine and displace as large as 880 ccs. Like a Norton 850 that sounds like your V Hondas only meaner. I know that you have likely completed it, but maybe you could revisit it. The European version of the XS 650 has a very strong crankshaft and can easily be split and rephased by moving the right side forward 3 splines on the pin for a 277/83 with a weld and rebalance or there are crankshaft spline pins (pricey) that you can make it exactly 270/90 like your Hondas or the new Bonnevilles, either way Heidens sells a set of cylinders bored with 87 mm bores and deeper fins. Just a thought. I wish that I had a 533 engine from Europe here in the USA. I would love to build an 880 cc XS2 reinforced of course but the XS2 is the definition of perfection with just a few modifications. I was newly married 40 years ago and my wife loved riding 2 up on the country roads around us. It is a great memory for us both. Me being the hot rodder I am can never get enough power! 😂

Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.

Lol. Yes, the laugh was mine. Yes, the laugh was mine. I don't know why, but this my usual reaction when I found for the first time, that own motorcycle sounds really good. Thank you my friend for your kind comment and for your support.. :) Cheers.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

Lol. Curiosamente, Você já é a 2~pessoa a sugerir o nome "YamaTon". Obrigado amigo pelo apoio :) Um abraço.

@@RACER_TV hahahaha já que existe Tryton por que não uma Yamaton, estou no aguardo dos novos vídeos sucesso

It seems you really know what youre talking about. Yes, it is very hard to build a custom project, and make it look like something that came from factory. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

Hello Kevin. I am really sorry. My intention was to include a small presentation of your Frankenstein version on this first episode. But then I realized the video was starting to be too long, and I had to give it up. But i promise I won't forget of you on the second episode of this XS project. I hope you understand me. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective about this video. I'm glad you liked. :) Cheers.

@@RACER_TV Thanks so much Victor Looking forward to seeing another beautiful Cafe Racer evolve

Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.

@@RACER_TV um abraço pra vc tbm!

I still don't have news about the XS Project. Unfortunately, Leonel has been very busy lately, and the project is still on the same spot, Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.

Me too. :) Cheers.

Thank you my friend for your kind comment. Curiously, before I found the Norton Commando interstate fuel tank, the Triumph fuel tank was also on of my favorites for this project. Thank you my friend for your support. Good luck for your project. :) Cheers.

@@RACER_TV Good hearing from you Victor. While there are a number of Triumph original tanks out there, some are in rather rough shape, and not all aftermarket tanks are created equally ! Was your Triumph tank on the same site as your Norton tank ? Or did you find the Triumph tank on a different source ?

Gracias Amigo. :) Saludos.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

He he he. É mesmo. esta é das poucas motas no mundo que já vem com marcha a trás de série. lol.

Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.

Hi Ivan. The only problem about these Tarozzi clip ons, is the high offset distance. These are the "Tarozzi Low Rise Clipons 105MM Offset". But if you search for the "Tarozzi Low Rise Clipons 65MM Offset", you will see that they look nicer. :) Cheers.

Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.

You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
