Notice how the Yamaha's are behind fences, caged like wild beasts ready to break loose

More so that no one touches them and they break.

My first bike was a KTM 504 with that bloody K4 Rotax engine. Was a bitch to kick start and split the soles of my new Nike tekkies in half...
That motor was so heavy that it was almost impossible to wheelie - but it would wheel-spin up to third gear.

Nice one Colin.
Look forward to checking out his collection in October.
Some stunning bikes.
