Yamaha Other description

For sale is a very good to excellent original 1971 Yamaha HS-1B 90cc 2-stroke twin.   Bike is in original unrestored, but very unmolested and great looking and running condition.  45 year old bike has normal nicks and some light surface corrosion patina on rear light bracket, but not much else..

Motor starts and runs great, with an awesome 2-stroke twin sound. Carbs are clear and run great at idle, low, mid, and full throttle.   Motor pulls great once warmed up and is totally stock.   Original Yamalube oil tank and pump work perfectly and oil injection not a concern here.  Original twin chrome mufflers in excellent to pristine shape,  best I've seen and all baffles intact, no rust.   Bikes clutch and shifting are perfect no issues,   this bike pulls strong to 50 mph likely more if run out,  but I have mainly just ran it in subdivision as a "fun" bike.....

Electrical tail light good and brake light,  turn signals,  just no instrument light and headlight,  but these are bulbs needed, about the biggest flaw!   Tach and speedo work perfectly no issues. Brakes also good as well as tires and chain.   Chrome chain guide very nice.   No rot inside tank at all and petcock is clear and flows well.  

Only think I would do to keep the bike long term is pull top end and inspect, replace head gaskets and re-torque heads.   Put fresh rings in for long term,  but no signs needing that, compression run out and running are all excellent.  Also, replace the instrument and headlamp bulbs.  All else working well. 

In short excellent running and very, very nice original cosmetics rare 90cc 2 stroke twin model, nice paint, and a super fun bike, rarer than the endure singles, runs out strong for a 90cc typical Yamaha excellent engineering.  Needs nothing to enjoy and ride and show.   No trades, selling outright as thinning my vintage collection.  You will enjoy this motorcycle,  rare model and condition!

Note no title.  Georgia does not require titles prior to 1985 and I did not receive one when I purchased it in a package sale from Arizona seller 10 years ago.

Shipping buyers responsibility,  but no rush on pick-up...see deposit and full payment terms please.  I have great feedback and expect winning bidders to complete transaction.  Non paying bidders reported.

2014 AMA Supercross – Arlington Results

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

James Stewart‘s hot streak continues with his second-consecutive win and fourth AMA Supercross podium in five weeks after an impressive effort at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Fresh off of signing a contract extension with Yoshimura Suzuki, Stewart took control of the Arlington main event on the third lap, passing holeshot-taker Ryan Dungey and running away with the win. With his win last week at San Diego, Stewart becomes the first rider to win back-to-back races this season and establishes himself as a championship contender as we approach the mid-way point of the 2014 season.

Callaway Builds Motorcycle Engine

Thu, 20 Nov 2008

Callaway is a name that has become synonymous with Corvettes over the years, and with good reason. However, in addition to unleashing the power of America’s legendary sports car, Reeves Callaway has also done technical and engineering consulting for motorcycle companies such as Yamaha. A few years ago, he showed the world a V16 motor he built using four Yamaha 1,000cc motorcycle engines mounted on a custom fabricated aluminum block.
