Yamaha Other description

A very recent paint job and a complete overhaul/restoration befitting a bike that already logged 25 years in a toy store of a private collector.There is not a speck of dirt on this bike and to my knowledge the only aftermarket parts on this bike are the mirrors.There is a small tiny scrape on the tip of the fender.Evidence of use in a past life.The tachometer is in need of a rebuild but it still functions.Both gauges look great and it is evident that this bike has a few years spent indoors in the air conditioning.The seat appears to be original but i am not sure of this history.There is a small tear at the underside of the seat pan that can,t be seen without raising the seat.No big deal but i want full disclosure.The tool kit is not with this bike.New cables and new brakes were installed and the tires are new as well with less than a hundred miles on them.This bike is too fun to leave sitting.It did get ridden but never enough.The low miles on it is evidence of the limited use of this beautiful gem from our past.There is a small ding on the right side pipe.I will show the ding in the pictures.these pipes have a small spot here and there but you have to hunt to find a flaw on them.they are in great condition and have cleaned up very nice.No rust anywhere on this bike anywhere ever.The frame and engine numbers match for all of you investors and collectors out there.This bike is a very nice example of a rd from our childhoods.It is perfect in my opinion but you need to look for yourself.Ask questions.Everything works.We do not sell garbage! I price them fair.The work is already done on this one.Fly in and ride it home.If you would like more pics or need to talk feel free to contact me.

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place.  Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series.  Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing).  The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!

One man who didn't want to be watching the Sachsenring MotoGP

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Jorge Lorenzo posted this picture on his Twitter feed on Sunday. Yamaha's No.1 rider had to watch Sunday's MotoGP from his apartment. Despite Crutchlow reckoning Sunday's race result would have been the same even with Pedrosa and Lorenzo on the grid, I reckon Lorenzo would have had something to say about that.

Yamaha Teams Going Retro For Anaheim 2

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

In preparation for Anaheim 2, round 3 of the AMA Supercross championship, a few Yamaha teams are embracing the past for team colors. The CycleTrader.com Rock River Yamaha team is going back to Yamaha’s corporate roots with a White and Red themed look that could be found on YZs in the latter half of the 1980s and into the 90s. This color scheme also graced the prototype YZ400F Doug Henry rode into the history books with his win at the 1997 Las Vegas Supercross.
