1981 Big Valve TT500
This TT500 came to use on a blind purchase, we assumed like all the others it would need a complete restoration and or put together properly, we were very surprised after looking it over that it was in amazing condition.
The bike had been sitting for some time in the dry climate of Arizona which preserved the bike in as close to its original state as possible. Like all of our bikes we pull the engine to examine the valve guides, seals and proper seating, replace clutch plates and examine the oil sump for any metal debris, everything was in perfect working order, replacement of the points and proper carburetor settings and she fired up on the first kick and runs perfect. We replaced any cables found to be in marginal or in questionable condition, this is simply done because nobody enjoys showing off their new toy to have something simple leave them embarrassingly stranded while there friends drink beer and laugh at them. The tank was in very good condition, only a few minor scratches so we left it alone as these are only original once. We are offering it with the original plastics, but are also including a set of Brand new plastics also NUMBERS MATCHING FRAME AND ENGINE
So in short if you like the classics, looking for something that isn't cobbled up and sprayed down with some sort of greasy crude for some photos, like a bike that runs as we say it does, then hit that BUY IT KNOW button or at least make a nice offer and prepare to have some fun and buy a TT XT or SR 500 from the people who knows these bikes like the back of a Budweiser beer can, us The Vintage Spoke!
We can gladly help with shipper suggestions here in the USA we have only been doing this for 16 years and have made some great friends and contacts who do this type of work for a living, so there good at it.

1973 Yamaha TZ750 Works Prototype #409-100001 Up For Auction
Fri, 27 Dec 2013For just $120,000, you too can be the owner of a special piece of motorcycling history. Up for grabs on eBay is the 1973 Yamaha TZ750 that started it all. Claimed by the current owner to be the test mule of none other than Kel Carruthers in 1973, this TZ carries the number #409-100001. Yamaha Works GP rider Sadeo Asami cared for the motorcycle for much of its racing life until it was returned to Yamaha USA where it was destined for the crusher.
2013 Yamaha XT250 Receives Fuel Injection
Thu, 07 Jun 2012The Yamaha XT250 dual sport is getting a fuel injection system for the 2013 model year, replacing the previous model’s 33mm Teikei carburetor. Apart from fuel injection and new graphics, the only other changes are a new TCI ignition system in place of the 2012 model’s CDI ignition, and a slightly larger gas tank (2.6 gallons versus 2.4 gallons on last year’s model). The 249cc air-cooled SOHC engine and five-speed transmission remains unchanged.
BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates
Tue, 03 Jan 2012In 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.
