Yamaha Other description

I’ve listed this 125 Yamaha AT1 as a 1973 although the title shows it as a 1974. According to the serial number it is a 1973. The serial number is AT1185109. The serial numbers on the engine and frame are the same so it is the original engine.

The odometer shows 9005 miles but the title shows exempt for mileage.

I bought this several years ago to do a full restore. However, times change and I’ve decided to do other projects. The reason I bought it was because it runs and it is almost all there and all original. The front turn signals are missing but that’s about it.

As stated above, the bike does run. It will start with 1 or 2 kicks. The electric start DOES NOT work. Pushing the start button does nothing. May be a simple wiring issue. I have not trouble shot it.

The bike is in pretty much original condition. It does not look like any restoration has been attempted. The inside of the fuel tank is in good shape. Only some minor surface rust. The original external paint is not bad either.

If you are looking for one to do a quick minimal clean up on to have as a rider this would be an excellent base line. It runs and you can ride it now.

You. Call. That. Lean

Jean Philippe Ruggia, 1988, Coppice at Donington Park, Sonauto-Yamaha 250. This is elbow lean action. There was a previous blog entry of Ben Spies and his elbow grazing the tarmac onboard the M1 Yamaha, I admit it is impressive but I find myself admiring the horizontal angles that Ruggia submitted his 250 Yamaha to, with the above image taken at Coppice as a prime example.

Yamaha Recaps Josh Hayes’ 2011 AMA Superbike Championship [Video]

Tue, 22 Nov 2011

Yamaha released a video looking back at Josh Hayes’ 2011 AMA Superbike season culminating with his second consecutive championship. The video takes a round-by-round look back at the season as Hayes and his Yamaha R1 duked it out with essentially a phalanx of Suzuki GSX-R1000 riders led by seven-race winner Blake Young. Highlights include the hard-fought duel between Hayes and Young at Mid-Ohio, Hayes and Tommy Hayden swapping the lead on the final lap at Laguna Seca and the title-clinching finale at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

What Has James Stewart Been Up To? [video]

Wed, 15 Dec 2010

The last time we checked up on James Stewart, he wasn’t having a good year. First, there was the season-ending injury in the second round of the 2010 AMA Supercross campaign, an ill-advised comeback at the Unadilla National, and then a much-panned open letter after getting left off Team USA for the Motocross of Nations. In all, Stewart took part in just three races in 2010.
