Yamaha Other description

Very good original survivor. Starts cold on first few kicks, warm on first kick. Runs strong.

Pros: New seat cover, no broken plastic, inside tank like new, all lights and switches work, tires good, oil injection works as it should, cables good, exhaust very good from end to end, extra sprocket for off road, engine and frame numbers match, transmission and clutch work great, new battery and air filter, no engine or tranny leaks, original condition.

Cons: No biggies just couple small dings in the tank, fork seals could use replacement, paint is showing it's age, grips could use replacement, side cover rubber grommets are DIY could use replacement, no tool kit but available on line, front fender painted black, one locking side cover over tool kit and air filter missing and all but impossible to find anywhere, one key not original.

Comes with service manual, clear title. Bikes in this condition are hard to find, excellent candidate for full restoration. Kinda, was my plan but I'll never get around to it. NADA guide for condition lists around $2,000.00.

Rossi 'training' at his MotoRanch

Mon, 30 Jan 2012

Like Kenny Roberts, Valentino Rossi has got his own ranch where he has built his own private motocross track and dirt oval. The above YouTube video shows Rossi training on the flat-track circuit that makes up his 'MotoRanch' located near his home town of Tavullia. He's shown riding a Yamaha, but that's probably because Ducati don't have themselves a scrambler.

Rumor: Yamaha Developing Inline Three Roadster

Wed, 25 Jan 2012

French motorcycle outlet Moto Revue reports Yamaha is developing a new three-cylinder middleweight. Citing an internal Yamaha document, Moto Revue reports the new naked model will feature an inline Triple engine, aluminum perimeter frame, upside-down fork and a triple-pipe exhaust like the MV Agusta F3 and Brutale 675. Yamaha has produced a Triple before, offering the XS750 from 1976-1979 before replacing it with the XS850 in 1980 and 1981 (pictured above is the 1981 Yamaha XS850.) The potential new model is still likely to be years away, so its look is yet to be determined, though Moto Revue does have a rendering that borrows some of the design elements from the FZ8.
