Hi Guys,

I'm debating if I should buy or not a Vmax 1700 which were a Yamaha Yard Built 2016.

The Project consisted in transforming a stock Vmax 1700 in a Cafe Racer.

After the competiton, this project was reverted and is sold in stock again. The bike have only 1020 kms. Here in Portugal It's rare to find a Vmax 1700 to buy and when they appear are sold fast. The price is on the target for that year. What do you think? I leave here some photos of it now and a link of the project, and a video (start seeing 3:00)

Yeah I know minimum 9ltr/100km.

My concern is that this bike was a cafe racer before reassembley to stock, and you know the bike was stripe out. See photos below. Would you go for it after see these photos???
