Yamaha FZ description
2005 Yamaha FZ1, Cycle World Magazine's "World's Best Streetbike" (Oct. 2004) - Everyday Comfort Coupled with Razor Sharp Handling and Open Class Power .Cycle World Magazine's "World's Best Streetbike" (Oct. 2004) For the rider who likes sport bike performance but prefers more comfortable ergonomics. The FZ1 offers a more traditional upright seating position, yet sacrifices nothing in terms of engine and handling performance. Sometimes it feels sinful to hide an engine like the R1 derived, 20-valve, Genesis powerplant behind bodywork ... hence the FZ1. Yamaha's “naked” bike, though, is fully decked out: Fully adjustable suspension at both ends, Four-piston monoblock calipers, Light, three-spoke aluminum wheels ,Wide, high-performance tires. The same semi-upright ergonomics that make dawn `til dusk rides not just possible but highly enjoyable also provide great leverage when the road turns twisty. In the end, you can come at it from either direction: practical transportation, or 140-horse sport bike. Both paths will bring you around, eventually, to the one bike that’s both, The FZ1. This 2005 Yamaha FZ1 with only 21,167 miles is one of the best used bikes out there. Super clean and damage free this bike looks, runs, rides and shifts super. No problems with this one at all. Call Ian with internet sales at 877-297-5985 to secure a deal today on this sweet ride.

US Motorcycle Thefts Down 6% in 2011
Tue, 09 Oct 2012Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

Filling a void with an RD350LC
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC. It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching. I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration. Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience. I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love. And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor. The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more. I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects out there so why not have a go yourself?
