Yamaha Virago description

2007 YAMAHA VIRAGO 250, *** TERRIFIC AS A STARTER BIKE, AN AROUND TOWN RUNNER, OR EVEN AS A SECOND RIDE ***

Plenty of "kick-butt" power in this feature-packed lightweight cruiser!  It has great balance due to a low riding position.  Handles well with easy maneuverability in tight spaces.  The Virago is smaller sized but you would only know this up close. From a short distance away, it is easily mistaken for a Harley due to big bike cruiser looks with raked front end and plenty of chrome.  

I bought this to use for a few months while working in NY and it proved to be a great fill-in until I could get back to my larger cruiser.  Honestly, I'm very tempted to keep it but a full garage forces a sell.  In the last several months, I've gone over the bike making sure all is well fixing any worn wiring and controls.  I've added about $360 in leatherworks to it with brand new windshield bag, studded large saddle bags with quick close Velcro tops, and a large duffle style sissy bag.  The leatherworks really serve to complete "the look" of this compact but mighty ride.

Yamaha U.S. Increasing Club Level Road Racing Contingency

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

The state of road racing in America is hurting, there’s no doubt about that. But at least Yamaha is stepping up to the plate and increasing its contingency program for club level road racers 50% over last year. According to Yamaha, the program is designed to encompass a broad spectrum of road racing series across the U.S., from numerous club-level and regional sprint series events to the AMA Pro Road Racing series, including the addition of the ASRA Team Challenge Endurance Series.

Lorenzo And Rossi Unveil Yamaha MotoGP 2014 Livery

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Yamaha’s official MotoGP outfit unveiled the team’s official 2014 livery in front of a packed audience in Jakarta, Indonesia. The team’s two factory riders, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi, were on hand to proudly showcase their YZF-M1 motorcycles. As expected, blue, Yamaha’s factory color, plays a major role in the color scheme, but unlike last year where it was the dominant color, it is equally offset by contrasting white swaths on the upper fairing, fuel tank, and throughout the lower fairing.

R1 noise, bike porn and a quick lap

Tue, 24 Apr 2012

Trawling the internet for a sound clip of the Crossplane Crank Yamaha R1 on full chatter, I came across this: a few fast laps on board with New Zealand Superbike racer Tony Rees as he works the CABS Throttle Blipper on his 2011 R1. (Skip to 7:35 for the fast ones.) CABS is a system used by Superbike teams that makes use of the R1’s digitally controlled throttle. When you change up a gear, the bike blips in the perfect amount of revs to save time on track and make downshifts as quick and easy as clutch-less upshifts.
