Hi guys,

Yesterday I saw a really odd bike.
Well the front anyway.

It had a single fork on the front, so nothing on the other side.
It had a really large sort of hydraulic block which I assume was to make up for the lack of suspection on the other side.
It was pretty cool, looked sort of like a blackbird, but there wasn't any markings of it at all.
Any ideas?

My Uncle has one in Trowbridge, really rather good!

Top work by Yamaha by having the balls to make such a beast, especially back in the '90's... 8-)
