Yamaha Other description

For sale is the motorcycle of your dreams. I bought it in May of this year, new from the dealership. It was so new, it had never had oil in it, despite being last year's model. I bought it for $8400, and I've put over $800 of upgrades into it. Last week, I estimated that I get 55 miles-per-gallon. It has less than 3,000 mis (somewhere around 2500, but hey, I'm still riding it on the warm days until it sells!)Click it into 1st, and feel the torque throw your head back as you approach the speed limit in seconds as the 942 CCs of fuel-injected power make the hair on your chest grow. Talk the little lady into going with you and she will enjoy the ride also. Take it up and around Horsetooth. Lean forward a little on the handle bars, and swing with the curves. The exhaust isn't Harley-stupid-obnoxious loud, but it is music to your ears as you roar away from the green lamps with a low, throaty burble. At the next red light, pull up to that Harley and watch him rev his engine to keep it from stalling while yours steadily pounds with the heartbeat of an athlete at rest. Pushrods?!? That is sooo 1938, Harley! Overhead cams are where it is at if you don't want to rebuild the engine every 40k.I'm asking for just the loan buyout amount so I can get out from under the loan, so it will fall in price every month.The upgrades are:Clevver Clutch lever: the friction point is now right at your finger tips as soon as you let go.Mustang seats: WAY better than the stock seat, which was like sitting on the toilet too long!Jel-net cushion: Cools your bum on hot summer days. The Harley shop has the nerve to as $100 for this!Ergonomic grips: What vibration??Viper Removable Windscreen: Turn two thumbscrews, and it slides right off for that James Dean look.Saddleman removable (zip off) PVC saddle bags: Pretty roomy for all those groceries the wife sent you out for.K&N air filter: Ran smoother the day I installed it!Mobile 1 VOLT-twin Synthetic oil: change it once a year, not three times.Phone holder/charger: also holds a GPS.Sissy bar and luggage rack: For her and her purse!I'll bet I'll be posting this well into Springtime next year, and the price will go down to match the payoff. However, if this looks like your dream-bike, bring some cash and try it out!$7600 now, call with questions. Local sales only (or local pickup), and respond with your name in texts or emails. I'll only give out my address if you are on your way over.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?

Well, the technical filling is identical to that of the YZF-R125 sportbike.
