There is No Title!

Bike is not perfect as you should expect. The only thing that's needs work is the ignition/ or maybe coil. I did everything I need to to get it in riding condition and when I tried to start it it had no spark. The previous owner said he "bypassed" the ignition to ride it. It has no key. My next step was to buy a key online to check the ignition system. It may even be the points.

A few things I did before I got sidetracked.... I bought a brand new petcock valve, bought a used kick lever, shift lever, replaced the rear tire tube, bought a new front brake lever and bought another rear fender. The fender was advertised on ebay without any issues but when I receieved it it had a small crack by the bolt holes so I had it repaired (see photo).

The engine turns over great. The gas tank is very cleaned and lined. The problem with the gas tank is someone put a weld across the bottom to repair both sides and looks like crap (see photo). The turn signals are missing, no tail light and the glass on the headlight is gone. Tank does have a dent on top as you can see in the photo. I am sure they may be other minor cosmetic "issues" that really do not effect anything if you just plan on riding it. Remember the bike is a 1979!!

I did not get a photo but it is very good condition under the seat. Please take a good look at all of the photos to verify the condition of the bike.  

The reason I am selling is because in the midst of working on this bike I ended up buying two other bikes I would rather work on. On top of that I already had two other bikes prior to buying this one to work on. The other bikes are street legal/titled so that is why I am letting this one go.

Bike is being sold as is! If you would like to set up a time to inspect the bike prior to the end of the auction please contact me and we can set something up. Sorry pics are not the best as I used my phone and didnt have time to pull the bike out.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and set up!! I would prefer local pick up with cash in hand. If payment is made by a cashiers check it must be through USPS. 

Thanks for looking!

I am located approx 40min East of State College Pa, 40min south of Willliamsport and 1hr North of Harrisburg..... Zip 17844.

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!       

2014 AMA Supercross – New Jersey Results

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

A crowd of 62,217 fans in East Rutherford, N.J. witnessed the coronation of Ryan Villopoto as the 2014 AMA Supercross Champion. The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider took the holeshot and led very lap in a decisive victory to clinch the championship, his fourth in a row.

Thumbs up for a chilly N.E.C.

Wed, 08 Dec 2010

Apart from the freaky weather I have to say last week’s Carole Nash Motorcycle Live N.E.C. show was the best Birmingham event I've attended in the ten years. I really appreciate the fact that manufacturers chose to ignore the recession giving us great stands to cater for every enthusiast young and old.  Aprilia made a welcome return and I don’t know anyone that didn’t enjoy admiring the WSB RSV4, surely the the most gorgeous bike on the planet? The Honda stand rarely disappoints and this year was no exception with banking bikes providing fun for all the family.
