Yamaha Road Star description
Bought bike with 5700 miles on it. Customized it with 250 back tire and wide swing arm. Custom rear fender still supports a passenger. I have a wide wrap around rear fender and a Jesse James front fender that I will throw in for anyone with metal working/ painting skills to modify the rear for a solo bike. Sportster rear pulley and belt. Chrome open pulley Assembly, Extra chrome on engine, Bub shorties, chrome is coming off the billet tips. It has bullet chrome turn signals on front and back. Brake light is on license plate bracket. Rejetted for breather, pipes. 14 inch ape hangers with 3 inch billet chrome risers. It has extended stainless brake, throttle and clutch cables. Tank has been stretched. Custom rear fender with passenger seat and backrest. (Backrest not shown in pictures) Brand new forward controls. Back tire has less than 800 miles on it. Battery is a year old. There are a few small paint chips in the paint on the tank. She has a great, mean low rumble and handles beautifully in curves. A head turner. One of a kind bike. Always get compliments on it. Never had any mechanical maintenance issues with the bike. Changed oil every 3000 miles. Touched up rims where there is some rust. It is probably getting close to time for a new front tire. I was going to replace the rims and tires and some other modifications but bought an electraglide to accomodate the wife.

Michael Alan Duff/Michelle Ann Duff
Wed, 29 Dec 2010Spotted the link to this short film on a Dutch blog. It's beautifully shot/directed and captures GP rider Mike Duff's recovery from a horrific hip and pelvis injury suffered at the Japanese GP which cost him a six month stay in hospital. Watching him push-start makes you wince just imagining the pain he must have been in.
Yamaha XSR900 wins again
Sun, 09 Apr 2017Yamaha's roadster now has one more achievement on the long list - this time the bike was awarded with the prestigious Red Dot Award for design. It is the fifth in a row for this model and the fifth for the company. Not bad huh!
Stoner explains the tank slapper
Mon, 03 Oct 2011Casey Stoner looked all set to win at Motegi, after translating his pole position into an early race-lead. But coming over the crest on the back straight his bike momentarily lost control in a tank slapper. Regaining composure the championship leader was forced to pump his brakes to get the pads back in place, with the rear-wheel bouncing in the air he ran out of time and space to make the 90 degree right hander and was forced to run into the gravel.
