Yamaha V Star description

I purchased this bike in November of 2014 and have put just about 3,800 miles on it. I have maintained it very well including getting all recommended servicing. It has been garage kept (with a cover too) and I have used a trickle charger in the winter to keep the battery in good condition. Two major alterations have been the changing of the front sprocket from a 16 tooth to a 17 tooth and dropping the rear from 45 teeth to 43 to increase the stock gearing which was far too low. The bike now rides much better and even gets increased fuel mileage (I've achieved over 90mpg). Here is what you will get with this purchase:

1) 2014 Yamaha V-Star 250 in Pearl White w/ sprocket upgrades
2) Original sprockets
3) Bike cover
4) Trickle charger
5) USB connector (this is already wired up so you can use your phone for GPS, etc)
6) Cell phone mount
7) Handlebar clock

All the specifications for the bike are below. It's a great starter bike for a new rider but I highly recommend it for anyone. I'm selling it to pursue my true life calling: aviation, and I'll be sad to see it go. EMAIL ME so I can provide you with a review I did over a year ago on the bike. Lots of close up high def video of the bike including exhaust sound, test ride, etc. 

The title is currently with the bank whom I'm financing with just so you know. 

Asking price: $3,200 obo

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?

New Delhi Auto Expo 2012 – Motorcycle Manufacturers Draw Battle Lines for World’s Second Largest Market

Mon, 09 Jan 2012

In past years, the biennial Auto Expo in India slipped under the radar while the industry was focused more on shows such as EICMA in Italy and Intermot in Germany. But with India’s middle class starting to flex its financial muscle while other markets continue to struggle, the New Delhi show is becoming much more prominent, with major OEMs positioning themselves to claim a piece of the India’s 13 million vehicles-a-year market. We’ve already looked at India-produced Royal Enfield’s new Thunderbird 500 and Hero Moto’s hybrid scooter concept which debuted at the Auto Expo, and today we’ll look at what the major international OEMs presented.
