Yamaha XT description

This auction bid is for a 1980 Yamaha XT 250 dual sport.  I purchased the bike from the original owner approximately 8 years ago for my wife; she rode it a couple of times and it's been stored since.  Overall condition is very good for its age.  There is a dent in the left side of the tank and the the handlebar is bent slightly (by original owner).  There are also some chips in the sidecovers as seen in the photos.  Mechanically the bike is in great shape and runs well.  While removing the exhaust for painting the head broke off one of the exhaust bolts; the exhaust gasket still seals but this should be fixed before the bike is ridden extensively (no more than a $75 fix at your local bike shop, I've lowered the reserve to address this).  The battery and tires are original and should also be replaced as well.  Overall a very nice bike for riding or full restoration.   

The bike is being offered as-is with no warranty. 

I am relisting the bike as the previous high bidder did not pay for/pick up the bike within the specified timeframe; please do not bid unless you are serious about completing this transaction. Payment/delivery terms are as follows:

The winning bidder is required to contact me via eBay messaging within 48 hours of auction close and specify a pickup date and time. The bike can be picked up anytime from 9/6/13-9/8/13 and from 9/14/13-9/15/13.  I would like a 25% deposit if delivery is after 9/8/13.  Full payment is required no later than 9/15/13 (I'll hold the bike for a couple of weeks upon full payment)

Suzuka Eight Hour capers

Mon, 05 Sep 2011

Chatting to TT legend John McGuiness recently about his first Suzuka Eight Hour experience got me thinking of a few capers the boys and me managed a few years back at what is still Japan's most important race of the season. It is a unique event that starts at 11am and finishes at 7pm making  it a pukka endurance race as the last hour is run with headlights on in the dark. It is essentially an eight hour sprint that showcases the trickest endurance machinery and manufacturer’s sales can be affected the following year depending on who wins or loses.

Yamaha To Build Cars By 2014

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

In a recent group interview at Yamaha Motor Company headquarters in Japan, company president Hiroyuki Yanagi announced plans for the company to enter into the automotive market by as early as 2014 — six years ahead of schedule. If you’re a motorcyclist or musician, the Yamaha brand is likely very familiar to you. However, the company has a long history building, or designing, engines for the car industry.

Team Hammer Releases Martin Cardenas

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

AMA Pro Racing’s Team Hammer has released Martin Cardenas from his contract to allow the reigning AMA Daytona Sportbike Champion “to better pursue his goal of returning to World Championship competition as soon as possible.” Though the eventual goal appears to be for Cardenas to move up to the World Superbike Championship, rumors have Cardenas landing with the Yoshimura Suzuki factory team to race in the AMA Superbike Championship in 2013 as an eventual stepping stone towards international racing. Cardenas won the 2010 and 2012 AMA Daytona Sportbike championships with Team Hammer riding a Suzuki GSX-R600. Team Hammer held a contract option for Cardenas for the 2013 season but decided to release the Colombian racer, allowing him to take a different route towards a WSBK career.
