Yamaha V Max description

 I bought this bike brand new from the dealership in March 1988 and have only put 17454 miles on it.  It has always been garage kept and properly maintained.  I still love the bike, but am selling it because I have back problems.  I rebuilt the carburetors and brake and clutch cylinders and replaced the original brake and clutch lines with Hel brand lines about 4 years ago.  I put an Optima battery in it about 3 years ago (and highly recommend them).  The Metzler tires are about 2 years old.  

The seat is a Corbin Canyon Dual Sport seat, a high-quality American-made seat that is much more comfortable than the original (which I have saved and am including with the bike -- the original seat is in near-new condition).  The Corbin seat is black with red welting.

I have added a few custom touches on the bike.  I am a professional machinist, and I designed and made the scoop grill inserts, the low-profile convex washers that hold the Corbin seat on, and the honeycomb-pattern grilles on the back of the radiator housing.  The original grilles and original style retaining rings are included in the sale.  Other extras included with the motorcycle are a Tracy Wild One Fairing, in near-new condition; a King Cobra motorcycle alarm which would have to be reinstalled by the new owner (though the light is still mounted just below the tachometer); battery tender; and a bit of leftover oil. 

There is some slight paint scratching and surface corrosion on the aluminum surface due to the age of the bike -- see photos.  It has not been mistreated and has never been crashed. 

I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.  The bike is located in Gaithersburg, MD, about 20 miles from Washington DC, 5 minutes from Interstate I-270.  You are welcome to come and inspect the bike.

And it's goodbye from him

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

THIS IS Valentino Rossi's farewell letter to his Fiat Yamaha team following the announcement the flambouyant Italian is to head to Ducati MotoGP in 2011.The hand-written letter, mistakes and all, is written in almost a 'my first romance' kinda way. It's touching, if a little bizarre. Some of the letter reads:“Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!'"Somehow, we can't see Casey Stoner gushing quite as freely when he leaves Ducati for Repsol Honda.

This Is What Comes Before The Yamaha PW50

Kids really do have it good these days. Case in point is this super stylish motocross-themed push bicycle found in the Yamaha Europe catalog. Parents out there are probably well aware of these bikes without pedals, but as someone without kids this is a new discovery for me.
