Yamaha TT500 description

For sale is a nice vintage Kenny Roberts Framed Yamaha TT500 flat dirt racing bike.
  • As you might expect this is a rare bike with a frame serial number of 5.  KR TT 05 is the serial number on the frame.  Not many made by the famous flat track and road racer Kenny Roberts.
  • I think the motor is about 1978.  I'll check the serial number in the nex few days to make sure.
  • This chassis was raced with success by Jody Lary in the Northeast.
  • The motor is my backup TT500 race motor and starts easily, runs great and shifts as it should.
  • Race as it is or restore it for a one of a kind vintage flat track bike.
  • Ceriani triple trees.
  • Marzocchi forks.
  • Quick change rear wheel.
  • Spool front wheel
  • Tires have enough tread left for a number of races.
  • I think the rear shocks are Progressive.
  • New clutch and throttle cable.
  • Gremica master cylinder and rear caliper.
  • Seat/tank/pad are nice but not perfect.  Tank has no leaks but around the gas cap it must have been repaired over its life.
  • Very original.
  • I'd say it is a 9 or 9.5 on a 10 scale.  Of course that is my subjective opinion.
  • Engine Number xxx (will get in the next day or two).
  • $250 due by paypal upon successful auction end with the balance to be paid by cash, wire xfer or cashiers check within 7 days of the auctions end.
  • Sold on a Bill of Sale as race bikes don't have a title. 
  • Video of the bike running at https://youtu.be/iR4LUciAE4A
  • Check out my feedback.
  • Will work with your shipper or possible west coast delivery for a nominal fee (gas & expenses).

A couple of weeks ago, Yamaha Europe released a video called “Dark Side of Japan” teasing a new street bike it claimed would “change the sport motorcycle world.” Today, the company revealed its new model, introducing a new naked sportbike powered by a “Crossplane” three-cylinder engine called the MT-09.

Day 2 Dakar 2014: Sunderland Wins First Special Stage

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Honda won the second day of competition with Team HRC’s Sam Sunderland claiming victory in the first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Sunderland has had a frustrating time at previous Dakars, dropping out after three days of racing in 2012 and withdrawing a month before last year’s event due to fracturing both his wrists. Today, however, Sunderland made a grand entrance into the club of elite riders by brilliantly winning his first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Having started well behind his teammate, Joan Barreda, the 23-year old Brit superbly overtook Michael Metge and Juan Pedrero on the first part of the route.
