   YAMAHA LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME  

This is 1998 YAMAHA VStar 650 CC with close to 18k miles on it. The engne runs great and the motorcycle rides well. The battery is 2 years old and it might need a change soon. The tires have 7k miles on them so they are not much used. The rear brake pads need some work on them and there is a burn on the battery sleeve. 

Depoist of $300 is required within 48 hours, and full payment and pickup is expected within 7 days of auction close. Please consult with your wife before you bid, and if you are single then consult with your bank account first. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you want to arrange to see the Yamaha yourself. You may also call me at 719 201 9862

Suzuka Eight Hour capers

Chatting to TT legend John McGuiness recently about his first Suzuka Eight Hour experience got me thinking of a few capers the boys and me managed a few years back at what is still Japan's most important race of the season. It is a unique event that starts at 11am and finishes at 7pm making  it a pukka endurance race as the last hour is run with headlights on in the dark. It is essentially an eight hour sprint that showcases the trickest endurance machinery and manufacturer’s sales can be affected the following year depending on who wins or loses.

Unique Sounds of the New Yamaha R1

When Yamaha announced its new R1 literbike last fall, company reps told us about the tractability assets of its new, MotoGP-derived crossplane crankshaft for the four-cylinder engine. It’s unique in that cylinders fire 90-degrees apart, allegedly enabling better grip during acceleration. A byproduct of this design is an exhaust note that is distinctive in this world of cookie-cutter designs.

More than 2,000 attendees visited America’s Car Museum for its 3rd annual Vintage Motorcycle Festival ‘The MEET’ last weekend in Tacoma, Washington, where over 300 motorcycles and scooters were showcased on the Haub Family Field at LeMay. The event drew pre-1981 motorcycles and scooters from the U.S. and Canada, including an antique motorcycle display, swap meet, cruise-in and a 78-mile roundtrip tour from ACM’s Anderson Plaza to Mt. Rainier.
