I just picked up a 1995 yzf 600r as my first real sports bike. I got a great deal (1000 bucks) on it and its in perfect mechanical and cosmetic condition except for the fact that the bike's plastics were painted a hideous flat black

 

[MrR2009]

yeah the flat black is hideous not the barny rims...
Jk It looks sweet dude I hope you enjoy it and welcome to the addiction.

haha yeah my thoughts exactly, purple rims and complaining about flat black lol wtf?.... but maybe she's a girl so purples not so bad? looks like a 1000RR behind it.

Nice purchase...but when were 600R's considered ST?

Damn, never knew that.

Nothing like picking up a new (for yourself) bike! Have fun!

 

[bleda2002]

No i'm not a chick lol, but the purple rims wouldnt look nearly so bad if it wasnt flat black

The 1000RR in the background is the previous owners, i snapped some pics before bringing it home.

Yes, dont worry about the black paint, fix Barney wheels

I wonder who would have a color skeem like that?


nice buy on the bike however

 

[Stick N Move]

Good deal, but the rims...yuck!

Other than the fact that the PO painted mine gloss black mine looked just the same...(Tal-Strip will remove the offensive hue easily)

The 95-96YZF is a really fun bike with potential to be a fun track bike as well as a decent sport tourer.

Here are a few pics of mine...

Or even my good friends street fighter/commuter:

Pretty much the YZF can be whatever you want it to be. Its not the best bike for any specific type of riding, but with a little set-up its works well at just about anything you want. Good Luck.

I suppose this is what it looked like before it was re-painted.

 

[bleda2002]

Yep, that is infact what it looked like before being repainted. I was thinking of actually doing it up in a yellow/purple scheme with the bottom fairing and tank in purple, and the side, front and rear fairings in yellow.

I also have decided to name it the purple viper, and am looking for some purple cobra stickers to put on it

..........maybe you should call it the purple cobra then?
