Yamaha XT description

I am selling my 1980 Yamaha XT 250 (yeah, same model Rambo rode). I recently got a TW200 and it's time to depart with the trusty XT! When I got the bike (only a few hundred miles ago) it had been sitting so it has a new set of rings, fresh valve job, valves freshly adjusted (10 miles ago), cam chain retensioned, fuel filter added, tank treatment added, new Renthal chain and sprockets, new engine bolts (All Allen head), and new front brakes, tire, and inner tube. The tire and brakes are *not* shown in the pictures (taken before I installed it), but it is a Shinko SR244 tire which is very popular for dual sport riding! I run the the same tire on my TW and love it! The carb has recently been rebuilt with a new boot, accelerator pump diaphragm, and gaskets. The bike runs AMAZING! Kicks over in any weather with one kick and you can snap the throttle wide open from any speed once the engine is warm. It really pains me to see the bike go. It's massively reliable, surprisingly powerful, and very nimble in all situations. Cosmetically, the paint is faded, but very good condition given the age. The tank has ONE minor ding, but otherwise in great shape. Really is a fine example of one of the greatest Yamaha dual sports every made! I am somewhat firm on the price, but make me an offer and see what we can work out! Two keys included!  Clear Colorado title!! Street legal!!!!

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?

Yamaha XTW250 RYOKU Concept – the SUV Motorcycle

Wed, 16 Nov 2011

Yamaha is debuting a new heavy-duty utility motorcycle concept at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show. Described as the “SUV motorcycle”, the Yamaha XTW250 RYOKU was designed to carry heavy loads for both on and off the road. The concept’s name suggests it may share elements of Yamaha’s XT250 and TW200 dual sports.
