Yamaha Road Star description

2003 Yamaha Midnight Star 1600:


I purchased this bike in July 2012 from a local dealer (Southside Honda in Lafayette, LA).  Cosmetically, this bike has seen slightly better days, but it runs perfectly.  In fact, I took it out for a 220 mile ride 04/13/13 and I did not have a single issue the entire ride.  The ONL Y reason I'm selling it is because I need to buy a used car soon.

Features:
- Vance & Hines pipes
- Kuryakyn grips
- Kuryakyn highway pegs
- Passenger backrest
- Luggage rack

There are a few obvious signs of wear and tear on this bike, including a few areas of chrome that I put rust inhibitor on and a scratch in the paint where the sissybar bolts to the rear fender. If you look closely in the pic of the tank, my finger is pointing out a very slight dent.

NOTE: THIS BIKE CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A BATTERY!   BUYER MUST PURCHASE A BATTERY FOR THIS BIKE TO RUN!  SINCE THIS BIKE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, I WOULD RECOMMEND CLEANING OUT THE FUEL LINES ALSO.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SEEING A SHORT VIDEO OF THE BIKE RUNNING FROM APRIL 2013, SEND ME A MESSAGE THROUGH EBAY.

NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of US $500.00 within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment required within 7 days of auction close.  If these agreements are not met, this auction will be relisted.

Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping.

This bike is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction prematurely if the bike is sold locally before this auction listing closes.

Dakar Begins This Sunday!

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Dakar is an international, bad-ass, multi-day off-road event and if you’re not a fan you should be. Crossing the borders of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile the route takes motorcycle and ATV competitors through more than 5400 miles of extreme riding conditions. Competing cars and trucks go even farther.

Lorenzo, Spies Call Test a Success Despite Crashes

Thu, 01 Mar 2012

Yamaha riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies each crashed but both riders deemed the third and final day of MotoGP testing in Malaysia a success. Lorenzo and Spies both crashed during the morning of the test but were unhurt. Despite the minor setback, both riders managed to get a lot done at the Sepang International Circuit.

I can die happy!

As an eighteen year old Kenny Roberts was my bike racing God.  I loved Barry Sheene but as a Yamaha FS1E rider I always wanted the little American to win simply because his bike resembled mine.  The coverage of Grand Prix in the late seventies was sketchy but I clearly remember watching the epic Sheene/Roberts battle unfold at the Silverstone GP on my council estate telly.  The Dutchman, Wil Hartog was hanging in there for a while but as the laps unfolded it became a two way battle with Sheene looking favourite to win.  Sheene lost the most time as the pair lapped a certain George Fogarty so my hero Roberts eventually won by just three hundredths of a second.  I’m not sure what happened next but being a Sunday we would no doubt be skidding around later in the day at the Pines chippie pretending to be Roberts and Sheene.  Fast forward thirty four years and a boyhood fantasy came true as I headed out on Chris Wilson’s 1980 Roberts machine for the Barry Sheene tribute laps at last weekend’s Moto GP.  It crackled into life instantly and felt as sharp as any of the more modern 500s I used to race.  The temperature gauge had a maximum marker on 60 degrees so to begin with I was nervous as it didn’t move but being a hot day (although still keeping my hand on the clutch) I convinced myself it wasn’t working.    The bike felt tiny, not helped by the fact I only just squeezed into my 1989 Marlboro Yamaha leathers.  It still felt rapid though as I played out the 1979 classic in my head while getting tucked in down the Hanger straight.  Steve Parrish was also out there on one of Barry’s 500cc Heron Suzukis so we did our best to copy the famous last lap at Woodcote Corner where Sheene came so close to winning his home GP. As a lad I would have said the chances of me riding round Silverstone on a GP winning Kenny Roberts machine were zero, but in the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true!
