Yamaha V Star description

 

For sale is my 2000 V-Star. As you can see I've extensively modified the aesthetics of the bike, making it a very retro looking ride (lesser informed individuals have asked me if it was an Indian...yeah, no comment there). The engine is stock, however, I have relocated the air pods to underneath the gas tank to eliminate the awful looking stock airbox. I've added Hard Chrome Stripper pipes and the carbs have been re-jetted accordingly. Other changes include a classic sprung leather saddle from La Perla which uses a mounting kit from West Eagle, ape hangers, chopped rear fender, a new headlight, new tail light/plate holder from No School Choppers, Metzler ME 880 white wall tires (approx 1500mi on them), powder coated and overhauled wheels with new bearings, and all new paint on the tank and fender done by the very well respected Pinstripe Chris (of sharpie'd Lambo fame). All major maintenance has been done by Iron Works in Gaithersburg MD.  Bolts and passenger pegs are still in place to add on a pillion seat.


To keep with the chopper/bobber look I've removed all the turn signals, but the wiring is still in place if you want to add it back. I purposely didn't do anything pretty with the wiring in case either I sold the bike or was made to put signals back on.


The bike runs great, has never left me stranded or caused mechanical concern, and is a very comfy ride for as flashy as it is - thing is a work horse. I've done a number long trips on this bike and the apes are surprisingly comfortable. I purposely didn't fully chop the rear because I would have meant turning this into a rigid bike, thus removing the "comfort" part of the bike. Also means you couldn't add a pillion seat for a passenger, if you were so inclined to bring the other half with. Are there faster bikes out there? Of course. While it's certainly not a Ducati it will still haul butt for a big 1100.


I am the second owner of the bike (I purchased in 2007) and it currently has ~ 32k miles on it. It has a clean title and has never been in an accident. I'm selling it because I haven't had a chance to ride it regularly in more than a year. I'd rather sell it to someone who appreciates it than have it continue to collect dust due to my busy schedule. I will also include my brain bucket helmet and put in a new battery to whomever decides to purchase the bike. Buyer responsible for shipping.

This Is How You Ride A 125cc Two-Stroke + Video

Fri, 09 May 2014

It’s too bad two-stroke motorcycles are quickly declining. The lightweight and hard-hitting machines are a blast to ride. They’re all but gone from the street scene (thanks emission laws), but thankfully you can still find some on the dirt side.

AMA Sportbike: 2012 Daytona 200 Results

Tue, 20 Mar 2012

The 2012 Daytona 200 delivered another fairy-tale finish with underdog privateer Joey Pascarella and the Project 1 Atlanta team fending off a pack of three other racers to win by a slim 0.048 second margin. Competing in just his first Daytona 200, 19-year-old Pascarella from Victorville, Calif., held the lead for 41 out of 57 laps to finish first ahead of a last year’s winner Jason DiSalvo while Cameron Beaubier squeezed by 2010 Daytona Sportbike Champion Martin Cardenas in a photo-finish to take third. For the Project 1 Atlanta team, the win marked a dramatic turnaround from a let down in 2011.

Church of MO: 2002 Yamaha FJR1300

Sun, 07 Aug 2022

All we learn from history, goes the current cynical wisdom, is that we learn nothing from history. Then again, maybe we do? For instance, I just learned this morning that Yamaha is still stamping out the FJR1300ES 20 years after the original 2002 FJR1300 hit our shores.
