Oh that Yamaha 250cc V twin looks simply beautiful, I've never seen one before, might it be a foreign vehicle as I've never heard about them here in the UK..?

My first V-twin, Viagra 535s, now in for a full resto. Love this bike, will never willingly part with it.
My second V-twin, DL650GTA, love this too for numerous reasons but it ain't half a bit top heavy at slow speed. Hey ho that's why I got crash bars
