Yamaha XS description

1978 Yamaha XS 1100

Clear New York State Title, 2017 Registration, Plated and Insured.

Everything has been chopped off this motorcycle, yet it still passed the NYS Inspection.

Everything works to make the motorcycle street legal and it runs.

If this is your first motorcycle, you may want to reconsider your other choices.

This Yamaha has a rigid rear end with no shocks.  However, I did install springs on the solo seat to absorb some of the impact.

Shinko tires have about 1000 gentle miles on them.

Seriously though, if you have never ridden a motorcycle before, this bike is too fast for you.

No Reserve Auction. 

I will not ship this bike anywhere.

Purchaser most arrange for pick up.

Cash at time of pick up.

James Toseland Announces Retirement from Racing

Fri, 09 Sep 2011

Two-time World Superbike Champion James Toseland announced his immediate retirement from motorcycle racing due to a debilitating injury to his right wrist. Signed with the BMW Motor Italia racing team, Toseland has been limited to just seven of 20 races in this season’s WSBK Championship due to the wrist injury initially suffered during a private test at Spain’s Aragon circuit in March. After undergoing an operation for the injury, Toseland made two attempts at returning to racing, first at the Miller Motorsports Park round in May and again at the Silverstone round in July.

Ben Spies Video Interview on 2012 MotoGP Season [Video]

Thu, 22 Mar 2012

Yamaha Factory Racing today posted on its YouTube page a video interview with Ben “Elbowz” Spies, in which Spies discusses the soon to start 2012 season of MotoGP. In his usual calm, cool and under control manner Spies speaks frankly on how he prefers the 1000cc GP machine, saying it suits his style (elbows out!) better than the previous seasons’ 800cc bikes because the extra torque and horsepower of the liter-class bikes are, essentially, better matched to his physical stature. Spies also answers honestly the question of who he thinks he needs to keep an eye in 2012, including his teammate, Jorge Lorenzo.
