Yamaha XS description

 1978 Yamaha XS500. Ready to ride! Pictures speak for themselves. Lots of work done so it is ready to go. Everything works including electric start. Has Supertrapp mufflers which sound awesome. Includes original taillight assembly to return to stock. Has the factory oil filter conversion so filters are easy and inexpensive to replace.  Bike needs nothing to ride.

These bikes are similar to the XS650 but know to handle better and are lighter. I like the look of them too. This was the last and best year of the 500's.

New parts include:

-Fresh full synthetic oil change and filter
-New tires
-Mike's XS new fuel petcocks, lines, and filters
-Seat slightly modified and recovered
-New taillight/brake assembly

I am sure there is more that I am missing. Let me know if you have any questions.

Bike is for sale locally.  I have the right to end auction at any item as long as there are no open offers pending through Ebay.  Thanks!

Day 2 Dakar 2014: Sunderland Wins First Special Stage

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Honda won the second day of competition with Team HRC’s Sam Sunderland claiming victory in the first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Sunderland has had a frustrating time at previous Dakars, dropping out after three days of racing in 2012 and withdrawing a month before last year’s event due to fracturing both his wrists. Today, however, Sunderland made a grand entrance into the club of elite riders by brilliantly winning his first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Having started well behind his teammate, Joan Barreda, the 23-year old Brit superbly overtook Michael Metge and Juan Pedrero on the first part of the route.
