Yamaha Other description

I have a 1981 Yamaha xs850 street bike, everything is here except the seat and tank. even the key is with it. I have a tank I was gonna fab up to make work and look decent. drive shaft bike, it is not broken or seized up. motor is free in the bike. I do not have a battery but I jumped it off and it spun over fine, this is a three cyl bike. open headers. I took the turn signals off, but still have them. headlamp works but has a bad fuse, just needs some work on the wiring, its all connected right but someone did a half butt job. brakes need to be bled. just don't have time to keep working on it. call or text at 980-522-XXXX. $325 O.B.O.

Best Helmet Designs from the 2009 MotoGP Season

Thu, 22 Oct 2009

Unlike with most athletes, motorcycle racers’ faces remain hidden during competition. Except for promotional events or pre- and post-race interviews, the faces of our racing heroes are shielded under protective helmets with tinted visors. You don’t see the same human emotion in their faces like you can when soccer players score a goal or baseball players hit a home run.

Yamaha M1 Engines Available for Leasing for 2014-2016 MotoGP Seasons

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Yamaha announced it will offer a leasing arrangement for its YZR-M1 engines to teams interested in racing in the MotoGP World Championship. The Japanese manufacturer has signed a leasing arrangement with MotoGP promoter Dorna Sports to supply engines for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons. Racing teams will be able to lease a Yamaha M1 engine on a per-year basis for their own race bikes.

BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates

Tue, 03 Jan 2012

In my opinion, the smartest move in the BSB off season has to be Michael Laverty moving from Swan Yamaha to HM Plant Honda. With a ban on electronics for 2012, and in particular traction control, WFR's Graham Gowland has already proved to Laverty how competitive an EVO spec Fireblade can be - so I’m tipping both these riders to be bang on the money at the Brands Hatch season opener in April. Unlike BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha, Honda have deliberately developed their road-going Superbike without electronics to give a user friendly feel with good mechanical traction, so it’ll be interesting to see how the opposition copes with their high-tech trickery stripped off.
