This is a beautiful build. Probably fun on a mountain pass.

[@michaelearley8852]

feckin gorgeous mate!

[@chadkline4268]

That's my all time favorite bike. But i like the ones that are a few years later, like 1986, 88, or so. Best bike ever made. I wish the F900GS was a boxer. People don't appreciate how well those cylinders protect you if you lay the bike down. And how they keep your legs and feet a little warmer in cold weather. Not to mention ease of maintenance and low center of gravity.

Well done and thoughtful job on this bike, RC. Good to see your channel. Interested to see how it will evolve from here----Cheers!

[@RoughchildMoto]

thanks. you and me both

[@degutube]

Looks excellent. There’s something about the red and white that just pops. Yamaha’s 2024 colourway for the XSR900 also has a nod to some Marlboro livery of old; more for the masses but certainly plays to that retro sentiment.

Just checked it out, couldn’t agree more

[@fauveride]

Great!
Personally I fell in love with the ducati desert x and bought it.
When I wondered why this design was familiar to me, I found that was GS Dakar. (of course there was Cagiva but)
This r80gs is beautiful!

[@RoughchildMoto]

The DesertX is a great bike in it’s own right

[@jamescampbell4334]

I saw the DesertX and had to own it. I'm back riding after around three decades away.
I've put over 8k miles on it in 7 months.

Jeeezzz, beautifulllll bike. Wonderful work!

[@RoughchildMoto]

Hold my beer

[@FunWithAJ]

It's a Great looking bike as always, gents! The more I watch these, the more I think Robert is related to Jemaine Clement.

[@RoughchildMoto]

I wish that was the first time I'd heard that. But it's not. And I still haven't watched flight of the conchords

[@df911110]

nice.

[@williammunny8084]

The suspension looks like after a jump from Gaston Rahier, the original Paris Dakar rally bike had more stroke.

[@RoughchildMoto]

ya duh. you wanna ride a rally bike to the shops?

[@stefan9945]

Nice 👍

[@TankToChest]

Nice bike, owner is a tossed.

[@RoughchildMoto]

you might think I'm a "tossed" salad, however I assure you, the owner is a good man.
