Well since I sold my 1100S I have been a busy guy. I purchased a couple of old bikes to add to my classic collection.
A Yamaha 350 YPVS and a RD250LC. I have done a lot of work in a very short space of time to get the YPVS on the road as this is going to be my main ride.
It's on the road now and running great. Looks quite nice in the picture but needs re-spraying over the winter back to it's proper colours

Apparently, it's a very rare F model. The F was only produced for 8 months before the F2 came out. The F2 having a different exhaust and a few other mods that tamed it and slowed it down a bit
I know one thing, for a 350 it certainly is very quick. I would say it's not much behind an 1100s in the acceleration stakes. Not bad at all for a 28 year old bike.

lol it certainly is. thats one of the reasons it's so quick, very good power to weight ratio. 60 ish BHP and weighs about 350 pounds.
another big plus is you can throw it around very easily, handles good too.
I sound like a Yamaha salesman lol.

Yes - I remember the F coming out, along with the 350N which was the naked version with no plastic at the front at all and a black frame and red (yuk!) seat. I also remember the Wrangler colour scheme which was a one-off done to a 350 YPVS by WhichBike? magazine as a competition prize. It was done to an older 350 YPVS.
I once had an original YPVS in black/red.
