Yamaha XS description
Selling my complete custom Yamaha. This is a 1979 bike that only the engine and the front half of the frame is original. I have completely remade the rear half of the frame and the swingarm with my own design to fit the massive 240mm rear tire. I fabricated the front numberplate out of sheet metal, the headlight is frenched into it. The front forks are 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R as are the calipers and master cylinder. The front wheel is a 19" and the rear is an 18". The gas tank is from a Honda CB175, the seat is from a 2006 Harley Sportster, the rear shock is from a 2009 Buell 1125R, the pegs are from a Yamaha WR250. The tail section was hand fabricated by me out of sheet metal, the rear lights are LEDs. I also fabricated the exhaust and the battery box. This bike is kick start only, the starter hole has been blocked off permanently, but it's not a tough bike to kick over. The paint is a custom blend with some pearl in it, it looks amazing in person. This is a beautiful bike, quite fun to ride and definitely gets the looks. I have the clear title in my name for it, it's registered as a 2008 assembled vehicle using the original XS VIN. This is NOT a reconstructed title, it's a perfectly clear title in my name ready to be signed over. If you are from the Oregon area I just re-upped the registration so it's good for the next two years. The bike does not use a rear brake, just the dual discs in the front, believe me, it's plenty. The engine is pretty much stock other than the exhaust. I took the top end apart and changed the rings and put new seals in the engine, runs great, very reliable. I've remade this bike a few times now, this is my latest version and I think it's my best. It's a beautiful bike and a blast to ride. Shame to let it go, but I need to thin my motorcycle herd. This bike is worth every penny of what I'm asking for it. I know this bike front to back, if you have any questions about things I haven't covered feel free to ask.

How to murder an HP2 Sport
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Some bikes and cars should be left entirely stock; left unchanged from the way the factory intended them to be. In purchasing them you should understand that. I could produce a list of vehicles that should be taken off the owner if they modified them in any way but I'll save you the boredom.
A crater looking for a grid reference?
Tue, 28 Sep 2010THIS IS the 'Black Devil' - the latest traffic jam-busting, kamikaze two-wheel nutcase who seems to have little respect for not only his own life but eveyone else on the road, too. The rider in question has filmed himself tearing up Moscow's roads in a suicidal fashion, diving between lines of traffic in a bid to impress viewers of his hi-speed antics aboard a Yamaha R1. If he keeps this kind of activity up expect a report on his untimely demise sometime in the near future.
