YAMAHA XSR900 GP
I'm not gonna lie, the look of the XSR900GP is right up my street, which shouldn't really come as a surprise given that the era of GPs on which the XSR's paint scheme is based on was when I grew up watching.

I'll be honest, cycling isn't for everyone, and quite frankly, Lycra is even more polarising, but for me, life on two wheels, be it powered or pedalled, has formed my staple diet for as long as I can remember.
