1990 Yamaha XJ600

This was the bike I bought in England for my proposed 1990 summer tour of Europe, it's a fairly non-descript inline four with no real character but did OK.  I rode it down through France and Spain then to Gibraltar and Portugal and back to England. The rest of the tour didn't materialize due to family matters and I ended up taking it to Germany with me when I went to work there. When I decided to come back to California it was returned to England on a long cold ride in mid December.

Here is the beast somewhere in southern Spain
