Yamaha Other description
Up for auction is a completely restored Yamaha YL-1 Twin Jet 100. This bike was completely restored many years ago and was on display in the original owners office before I acquired it and put it on display in one of my Yamaha dealerships. I moved the bike to my office when I sold my local dealership and I am now moving and have no place in my new office to display it.
The only items not original to the bike are the tail light and horn. The tail light was for a Japanese spec YL-1. The horn was incorrect, but I have since found an original 6v horn for this bike, but have not installed it. The motor is free and has good compression, but I have never started it. The original owner replaced all of the hoses etc, but put inline fuel filters in the hoses that were never part of the fuel system and used zip-ties for hose clamps instead of the wire clips that were originally used. These are easily acquired. Many of the parts that were replaced still have the original part number stickers still on them. This bike also has the rear chaincase that was usually discarded in the first days of ownership.
The seat is nice and soft and all of the cables and rubber bits are in really nice condition. The only missing items are the rear "buddy pegs". The rear turn signals have a little pitting i the chrome as they were never replaced, but the front signals are great. I have all of the paperwork from the original owner with the title.
This is a great piece of Yamaha history and will make someone a great collector bike.

Brammo Earns Seventh Place Against Gas Bikes
Mon, 06 May 2013This past weekend, Brammo arrived to Sonoma Raceway in Central California ready to do battle. Only this time the electric sportbike manufacturer would be trading blows not with other electric bikes, but with their ICE counterparts at the second round of the American Federation of Motorcyclists series — one of the oldest club racing organizations in the country. We recently mentioned Brammo’s eligibility with AFM, and this weekend was the first outing. Team Icon Brammo and its two riders Eric Bostrom and Steve Atlas competed on the Empulse RR machines while third rider, Shelina Moreda, rode the Team Parker Brammo Empulse TTX — a modified version of the road-legal Empulse.
Air time Kenny Roberts-style
Thu, 25 Nov 2010I can’t get enough of pictures that capture a specific, hard to define moment; the successful encapsulation of the absolute balls-to-the-wall, life or death commitment that riding a motorbike as fast as possible involves. We all know. We’ve all been there – even if it’s only a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Maybe (for us mere mortals) it’s that rapidly, yet unexpectedly, tightening left-hand bend with a shitty, mud-covered veneer just at the apex.
