1 year ago I purchased a poorly loved XJ600N that was abandoned in a garage for over 3 years. Its a 1999 XJ600N and the previous owner was quite a grease monkey, but a bad one... so everything was poorly serviced, with bad tools and bad taste (see pictures ahead)
However, I did enjoyed the bike and for an excelent price I purchased a poorly loved motorcycle with an extra motorcycle fully disassembled for parts, a Shark helmet and a Yamaha R6 original jacket.

The day of purchase
