Yamaha Other description

For sell is our recently built beaty - 1979 Yamaha XS 400 Cafe Racer. This bike is in superb condition and runs / sounds amazing! The bike is located in Redding, CA where it was built.- YZ426 exhaust mufflers that have been shortened and adjusted to fit this motorcycle. Great sound, they are quiet enough to not bother or wake the neighbors while warming up the engine, but when you hit 6,000 RPM they make music!- Custom fabricated electronics pan located directly under the seat to house all the electrical components (starter relay / rectifier / regulator / etc.)- Custom fabricated seat pan & tail section - built using eighteen gauge sheet metal- Updated ignition - Points breaker system has been removed and replaced with an electronic ignition from a 1980 model. This basically means that this bike now runs on the same type of electronic ignition that all modern bikes run on making this bike very reliable and low maintenance since you will NEVER have to set the timing again! This is a very nice upgrade.- Both electric & kick start- Honda gas tank modified to fit the Yamaha frame- 1,500 original miles (cannot be certain but all evidence points to this being the true mileage)- Base coat / Clear coat paint (automotive grade, fuel will not wrinkle or damage the clear coat)- Original brakes / wheels / suspension / engine / handlebar controls - Clubman handle barsThis bike is VERY nice and practically brand new in terms of mileage (and it shows). Runs and rides nice. This bike will take you back in time to a fun vintage bike without the maintenance of a vintage bike.Call Rodney at 530-921-807Seven - I will not respond to email so call or text only.$4,000 OBO

Highlights include the hard-fought duel between Hayes and Young at Mid-Ohio, Hayes and Tommy Hayden swapping the lead on the final lap at Laguna Seca and the title-clinching finale at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

Let's just hope Lorenzo doesn't launch himself this weekend.
