New 2013 Yamaha SR400 FI in Europe

How could I not write a blog post about what probably is the biggest news coming from the EICMA in Milan.
The new Ducati Monster...? yeah, nice
a naked BMW with "only" 160hp....? not bad
Kawa Z1000,... Yamaha MT09, ...MV Rivale.....? sure, cool

BUT!

Which bike has been going for 35 years, almost unchanged, with a huge following, a darling in the customizing scene, be it cafe racer, bobber, tracker and every style in between?

Yes, you guessed it! It's the undying Yamaha SR400!!

She's back. This time with fuel injection to conform to the stringent European emission laws, but she still retains all that's been holy to countless SR lovers: the timeless design, the sweet low-tech engineering, the unfaltering reliability, as well as a smorgasbord of aftermarket parts for every taste.

The only downside I could find was the price: 6.000Euro seems rather steep.

She will be available in 2 rather understated colors: matte grey and black




Remember, if your getting one, Omega Racer is the place to come if you're looking for the coolest parts! ;-)
