Yamaha YZF-R description
|
I'm relisting the bike, I took it off eBay a couple weeks ago because I wanted to keep it. I ended up impulsively buying a 1200GS last week to do some touring in Mexico, so I'm going to sell the R1 again. It is a clean titled 1999 Yamaha R1, which was converted into a naked bike. The bike runs well, and makes for a reliable commuter or canyon carver. I would not hesitate riding this bike across the country if I really needed to, she's extremely reliable and competent at high speeds and on wet surfaces. I've put 3,000 miles on this bike in the last 2 months, making trips to Rosarito Beach, and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. I've given the bike an oil and filter change every 1400-1500 miles, with the last oil and filter change done last week. The bike makes no weird noises and has done nothing towards me to suspect that it has any issues. This R1 was converted by the previous owner who decided to convert it into a naked bike. The owner, who I bought the bike from, was an older gentleman who said the bike was beginning to become too heavy for his ability, so he wanted to sell it. There has been absolutely no mechanical problems with the bike since I've purchased it. The Good -Mechanically sound -Engine and transmission are smooth -Clutch is strong and grabs excellent -Carbon Fiber Yoshimura Exhaust, loud -Comfortable riding position, especially for commuting, soft seat -It will come with fresh oil change, fresh filter -Brakes and brake fluid are good and clean -No leaks, everything is sealed. -The dashboard works great, such as the speedometer, gas light, odometer, trip meter, etc). -Headlight, blinkers, and brake lights all work and illuminate well -Chain and Sprocket in excellent condition (the chain will be clean and lubed upon pickup for the new buyer) The Bad -Rear tire could use replacement sometime in the near future (I'd say there's 500-750 miles left on the current rear tire, or more if you really stretch it). The tire is still good to ride home safely -Tiny JB weld done professionally on left side of crankcase (it's reportedly been there for 5000 miles, and it's completely sealed and sound in my experience). -The dashboard doesn't illuminate at night, nor does the neutral light, but it's very easy to find neutral on the bike, not really an issue at all -Could use new headlamp bulbs soon, as they dim for split seconds randomly at times. HID bulbs are fairly cheap on Amazon. But for now the bulbs are just fine. This is seriously a spectacular and reliable bike. It's just as fast as any bike out there. It gets a lot of looks too if you care about that. If you have any questions regarding the bike or want more pictures, don't hesitate to shoot me a text @ 949-680-9297. You can also come and see the bike if you'd like to test ride (with cash in hand) or bring your mechanic. I'm okay with shipping the bike as long as you set things up with the shipper (I shipped my GS from Florida to California last week, and it was $450, just to give you a rough estimate of motorcycle shipping costs). The bike is listed locally so I will end this listing if it sells locally, before someone buys it on eBay. Thank you. |

Yamaha Files Trademark Application for FJ-09
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Yamaha‘s next three-cylinder motorcycle may be a sport-tourer, if a recently-filed trademark application is any indication. The Tuning Fork brand filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the name “FJ-09” as it applies to “Motorcycles, scooters, three-wheeled scooters and structural parts for all the aforesaid goods.” Following Yamaha’s usual naming conventions, the signs indicate the trademark will be for a new sport-touring model using the same Triple as the FZ-09. Yamaha has made it clear it plans to introduce more three-cylinder engines following the FZ-09 (or MT-09, as it is known in Europe.) Previously-filed trademark applications for the YZF-R3 and R3 names raised speculation the next triple would be a sportbike, but as per Yamaha’s usual naming convention, the “3″ in R3 is likelier to refer to the engine displacement rather than the number of cylinders.
OEMs Plug into Electric Bikes
Sat, 01 Nov 2008KTM introduced its prototype electric motorcycle earlier this week, and electric bike manufacturer Zero Motorcycles almost immediately responded by opening sales on its 2009 Zero X dirt bike (look for our review of the 2008 model next week!). But these two companies aren’t the only ones exploring the possibilities of electric-powered motorcycles. In September, Japan’s largest industrial information journal Nikkei Business Daily reported that both Honda and Yamaha have set target dates for launching their own electric-powered motorcycles.
Kenny Roberts Motorcycle Collection Up For Sale
Wed, 25 Apr 2012Motorcycling legend Kenny Roberts has commissioned RMD Motors to auction off some rare and exclusive motorcycles from his collection, presumably to make room for more. The Japan-based company is known the world over for its collection of rare and classic motorcycles for sale, many of which are retired grand prix machines fortunate enough to escape the fate of most decommissioned racebikes: the crusher. Headlining the Roberts collection is the 2004 Proton KRV5 originally ridden by Kurtis Roberts, King Kenny’s youngest son. The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.
