Yamaha Other description

The bike has been gone through completely.  Everything works as it should.  We took it down to the frame.  Just about every part was either sandblasted or prepped with a wire wheel before being primed and repainted.  We lowered the ride height by lowering the front shocks and replacing the rear shock – it’s a simple swap with no cutting of the frame - lowers the ride height by about 2.5 inches.  Can be restored to original ride height very easily.  Currently has 4311 miles - may go up a few miles.

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

Yamaha announced it is withdrawing its factory World Superbike Championship race team following the end of the 2011 season. The news comes as a bit of a surprise, just a week after reports the team had re-signed racer Marco Melandri for the 2012 season. On the other hand, the team has struggled to find a title sponsor this season, as has Yamaha’s MotoGP team.
