Yamaha V Star description

 

For sale is my 2000 V-Star. As you can see I've extensively modified the aesthetics of the bike, making it a very retro looking ride (lesser informed individuals have asked me if it was an Indian...yeah, no comment there). The engine is stock, however, I have relocated the air pods to underneath the gas tank to eliminate the awful looking stock airbox. I've added Hard Chrome Stripper pipes and the carbs have been re-jetted accordingly. Other changes include a classic sprung leather saddle from La Perla which uses a mounting kit from West Eagle, ape hangers, chopped rear fender, a new headlight, new tail light/plate holder from No School Choppers, Metzler ME 880 white wall tires (approx 1500mi on them), powder coated and overhauled wheels with new bearings, and all new paint on the tank and fender done by the very well respected Pinstripe Chris (of sharpie'd Lambo fame). All major maintenance has been done by Iron Works in Gaithersburg MD.  Bolts and passenger pegs are still in place to add on a pillion seat.


To keep with the chopper/bobber look I've removed all the turn signals, but the wiring is still in place if you want to add it back. I purposely didn't do anything pretty with the wiring in case either I sold the bike or was made to put signals back on.


The bike runs great, has never left me stranded or caused mechanical concern, and is a very comfy ride for as flashy as it is - thing is a work horse. I've done a number long trips on this bike and the apes are surprisingly comfortable. I purposely didn't fully chop the rear because I would have meant turning this into a rigid bike, thus removing the "comfort" part of the bike. Also means you couldn't add a pillion seat for a passenger, if you were so inclined to bring the other half with. Are there faster bikes out there? Of course. While it's certainly not a Ducati it will still haul butt for a big 1100.


I am the second owner of the bike (I purchased in 2007) and it currently has ~ 32k miles on it. It has a clean title and has never been in an accident. I'm selling it because I haven't had a chance to ride it regularly in more than a year. I'd rather sell it to someone who appreciates it than have it continue to collect dust due to my busy schedule. I will also include my brain bucket helmet and put in a new battery to whomever decides to purchase the bike. Buyer responsible for shipping.

Colin Edwards Joins Forward Racing CRT Squad for 2012

Fri, 02 Sep 2011

Colin Edwards will join the Forward Racing team to compete in the 2012 MotoGP season as a Claiming Rule Team entry.

Forward Racing may be more familiar to some race fans by its former name, Hayate Racing, the outfit that ran the Kawasaki ZX-RR with Marco Melandri in 2009 after Kawasaki pulled out of MotoGP racing.

Behind the scenes in Qatar

Sat, 19 Mar 2011

Just because you have the name Jorge Lorenzo on your screen and you've won a world championship doesn't mean you'll get an easy time at scrutineering. In Qatar the technical inspection staff made the factory Yamaha mechanics remove bodywork and unbolt some electrical components in order to get a better look at the guts of the 2011 M1. Everything was in order of course but what a great opportunity for the scrutineers to exercise their power and have a poke around the most high tech Yamaha on the planet.
