1978 Yamaha XS1100

One of the fastest bikes Yamaha ever produced. This classic 4-cylinder "muscle bike" features 2-into-1 exhaust, new paint, new upholstery and it runs like new! Great as a vintage cruiser or around town Sunday bike. Bike has good rubber, doesn't burn oil and rides as smooth as silk due to shaft drive technology. Bike boasts 24,582 miles with many more in her.

Ienatsch, Hill, Russell, Bestwick To Give Speech At Yale Today

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

In what might be considered the most shocking news of 2014 so far, Nick Ienatsch and Ken Hill are going to Yale. While some might think the Chief and Lead instructors at the newly revamped Yamaha Champions Riding School are getting in over their heads, the two are at Yale as lead presenters for “Excellence In Motion: What Motorcycle Racing Can Teach Us About Success,” which begins at 4pm (local time) today.  When put into context, their appearance at one of the nation’s top schools is understandable. Each has had their fair share of success aboard motorcycles, and they will be joined by two more champions on two-wheels, five-time Daytona 200 winner and 1993 World Superbike Champion Scott Russell, and Jamie Bestwick, an avid motorcyclist and winner of eight consecutive X-Games BMX Vert gold medals.
