These vintage Yamaha catalogues show the Yamaha XS1 650 presented at the Tokyo show back in 1969, the Yamaha XS 650 F from 1970-1971, and the Yamaha XS 650 C from 1976. They were the first big cylinder Yamaha four-strokes, with the XS1 650 originally modelled on the world famous Triumph Bonneville. Bikes have come a long way since then, but motorcycle lifestyle advertising is still quite similar, when you think about it…

This pic of the day shows a restored 1986 Yamaha FZ 750. The photo comes from Italian fan Fabiano, who finally managed to purchase an FZ 750 after falling in love with it at age 11 when watching the film “Troppo Forte”, or “Too Fast”. It took him seven months to fully restore it, and he now rides it around the lovely roads of Lake Como, in Italy’s north.
