But wait a minute 🤔 it only cost £1k complete  It’s a two owner with less than 8k,the engines not locked and all the old paperwork is there The last owner had it from 6 months old but stopped using it 18 years ago  Granted it’s still a turd but at least its a cheap one in today’s money 💰 Matt 🐻 |

Nowt wrong with a Brazilian.
I am sure it will turn into something special in the Yogi cave.
Although you may not be able to polish a turd, you can roll it in glitter.

A grand you jammy bastid. 😁. Seriously how long is that going to stay standard for? As John says you’ll wave the yogi magic wand over it and it’ll be better than ever. 👍

We’ve said it before, but the 350R got a bad wrap compared to the competition at the time. The rest is history as generations regurgitate the same old ‘assessments’ of them.
Apart from the paint finish in a few areas, I’d say they are on par with the last Jap models.
I’m not just saying what I’ve read either. My latest YPVS hybrid is an R.

I’m not against the Brazil model 😬 if the fairing and tank were in better condition I might
have thought about restoring it
Had it been any other ypvs model I would definitely restore it due to its originality 👌

Wow, bargain! Superb buy Matt. Keen to see what you make of it FWIW +1 on what Jon said, I owned an R back in the day from new. |

Bargain! I built my hybrid from an R, nothing wrong with them as far as I'm concerned. Build quality was as good as any of the Jap ones I've had. The only weird thing I found was the bottom headstock bearing is larger than the Jap framed ones.
