Yamaha 850 Special description
This was going to be a bike to get me back to rideing. It has sat in the garage for 5 or so years. It has had a lot of work done. Tires, Calipers rebuilt and pads, seat covered, carbs rebuilt, new fluids about 5 years ago, New battery last year. Has trickle charger. Though not on the street it has been run frequently and maintained. It runs great. Checked out by a bike machanic last year. Has a trunk and a faring. I was told the fairing is original. Its one of the first shaft drive bikes. This is a 36 year old bike so there are a couple of things. Small oil leak a drip forms every couple of days at the left crank cover where the stater is. A couple of small scrapes. One on the bottom of the right pipe tip and a scrape on the right fender. Both are not noticeable. Tank paint is original shines up well no nicks or dents but shows a bit of its age. Very little interior take rust. You are incouraged to come take a look before you bid. We can arrange a time. Title in hand

Wed, 05 Feb 2014The custom motorcycle scene is different in Indonesia. Just take this 1968 Yamaha XS650 for example. Built by Barata Dwiputra of Thrive Motorcycles, his inspiration came from a very unsuspecting source: wood-burning stoves.
The short but sweet life of the Yamaha R7
Tue, 17 Jan 2012I was reunited with an old friend recently, my 1999 Virgin Yamaha R7 Superbike. By the end of 1998 I had won three straight BSB titles with the Yamaha YZF750, when main sponsor Cadbury’s pulled out leaving zero funds for a title defence. Wanting desperately to ride the new R7 and thinking a replacement backer would instantly get on board I turned down quite a few offers including a juicy contract from Crescent Suzuki (Paul Denning always enjoys reminding me).
