Yamaha Other description

Selling my 1980 Yamaha KZ650 which was converted into a cafe racer. I am selling because purchased the bike 2 years ago and it has been sitting in the corner of my garage for over a year not being used. It was converted before I purchased, but needed cosmetic work. Have clean NJ title in hand, The Odometer # is the add is not correct, it is not known, had to enter a # for ebay to allow listing

This is what I did:

Removed all the badging from the tank and side covers, painted the tank, front fender and side covers

Replaced the turn signals

Cleaned up the wiring

Painted the front tripple tree, painted the front brake reservoir and tachometer holder

Painted the exhaust as well

The good:

Clean lines

Nice paint

New tires

Dropped bars

Handlebar end mirrors

Airbox converted to K&N filters (told that jetting was done)

New seat with brake light embedded

Manual chain tightener

Kick stand and centerstand

Kerker 4 to 1 exhaust

New petcock (gravity type)

Newer chain

Brakes good

The bad:

Needs new battery (may have one by time it is sold, just need time to pick one up)

Use to start but takes a while, once running will start first/second time, carberators need to be cleaned and balanced. Should start just have to get a chance to try once I get new battery

Gas tank should be cleaned and coated

The previous owner installed the tachometer (don't know why), I purchased a speedo, but never got around to changing it out, speedo comes with the bike

Some scraping on the turn signal control (was planning to replace, just didn't get around to it)

Some scrapping on the lower part of engine

 

The bike is fun to ride, I just don't have time that is why I am selling, this bike should not sit, it deserves to be ridden.

The bike is being sold AS-IS, no warranty given or implied, it will also be listed locally and if sold I will be ending this auction

$250 non-refundable deposit due withing 24 hours of end of auction, rest paid in CASH when bike is picked up, will not release bike until fully paid!!!

Buyer is responsable for pickup and any shipping of bike!!!

Police Catch Up with Motorcycle Doing 185 mph in YouTube Video

Fri, 20 Apr 2012

Authorities in British Columbia, Canada, have impounded a 2006 Yamaha R1 believed to have starred in a YouTube video reaching speeds of 299 kph (185 mph) on a freeway. The onboard video, embedded after the jump, captures the Yamaha weaving through traffic, and often lane-splitting between other vehicles, covering a 4.67 mile stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway in about a minute and 56 seconds. That translates to an average speed of 144.6 mph.

2015 Yamaha FZ-07 Certified by California Air Resources Board

Tue, 20 May 2014

Although Yamaha has yet to announce the FZ-07 for American consumption, new documents from the California Air Resources Board lead us to believe it’s on its way to U.S. dealers. The FZ-07 was first revealed last fall at EICMA as the MT-07, which is the name it is being sold under in Europe, Japan and other markets.
