Yamaha YZ description

Here is the story on this bike: I’m 62
years old. I retired from my job a few
years ago. I thought that I might try a
little post-vintage racing. My wife and
I recently went to a race and, while we were watching, we saw a +70 rider take
a dirt nap in the first turn. My wife
turned to me and said, “See that! You
always used to land on your head when you crashed. I think you’ve had enough concussions from
the last time you tried motorcycle racing.” To which I replied, “What’s your
name, again?” (True story) So, here is my would-be post-vintage racer for
sale. It is a 1979 YZ 250. I have owned this bike for a number of years,
and only ridden up and down my driveway a couple of times (Making the video
made three times.). I put a new piston
and ring in it when I got it, and replaced a lot of parts. It has been sitting in my garage since
then. Here is a partial list of the new
parts: New Fork Seals, New Fork Wipers, New Front Tire, New Front
Fender, New Pro Taper
Handlebars, New Front Brake
Cable, New Throttle
Cable, New Clutch
Cable, New Front Brake
Lever, New Clutch
Lever, New Grips, New Piston and
Rings (less than an hour on the new top end), New Front Number
Plate, New Side Panels, New Rear Fender, New Rear Tire, New Air Filter, New Wide
Footpegs. The
frame and cases were painted with automotive urethane based paint (it won’t
peel off when gas is spilled on it).
Hubs were painted with black enamel.
The bike also has an after-market pipe, and a period correct DG
silencer. The wheels are in good condition as is the suspension. The graphic on the tank is probably as old as
the bike and has more wear and ripples than are evident in the photos.
The bike is fast (too fast for me), and ready to race. (To see the bike running, check out the
Youtube video: https://youtu.be/VIS0qvww_iw Video was taken the day
before I listed the bike.)

Yamaha Gets Monster Energy MotoGP Team Sponsorship, Annuls Lorenzo’s RockStar Sponsorship Deal
Fri, 21 Dec 2012Yamaha has reportedly signed energy drink maker Monster Energy to sponsor its factory MotoGP team, according to Spanish site MotoCuatro.com. The new sponsorship deal created a bit of a problem however, as Yamaha‘s star rider Jorge Lorenzo recently signed a two-year contact extension to his personal sponsorship deal with RockStar, a rival energy drink maker. To get around this sticky situation, MotoCuatro reports Yamaha will invoke a clause in Lorenzo’s contract allowing the manufacturer to veto and buy out his RockStar contract.
What Would Colin Edwards Do?
Wed, 25 May 2011As fast as Colin Edwards is on the track, the Texas Tornado may be even quicker behind a microphone. We saw some of that last year in the Yamaha-produced “Man-Cation” video with Edwards and his then-Tech 3 teammate Ben Spies, and Edwards can always be relied upon for a good quote at press conferences. The producers of MotoGP’s official video podcast “After the Flag” have taken notice of CEIII’s wit.
How do 1000s compare to the 800s
Wed, 09 Nov 2011Now MotoGP has completed its transformation from 800 to 1000cc, how do the lap times between the different bikes compare using Valencia and the post-season test as a benchmark.. Yesterday, Dani Pedrosa was the quickest 1000 on his Honda RC213V setting a time of 1:32.186. To find the quickest time from the outgoing 800 era you have to look at his current Repsol Honda team-mate, Casey Stoner, but it wasn't set on a Honda.
