Raining all day today! I have sorted through some old photos. Found these pictures. Twas a bike that I won in a game of cards, about 20 years ago. Never ran well - got shot of it a year or so later.

However, quite rare I beleived - made in 750 & 500.

Any guesses what model?? (its not an XS!!)

Is it a GX 500? I think they used to have DOHC plastered on the side covers.

The first bike I had was a Yamaha 100 twin, it had a back light identical to that.

Is it a special edition?
