Yamaha V Star description

You are looking at a 2003 Yamaha V-Star Classic with a 650cc engine. Model number XVS65A. It is purple in color with gray accent striping and lots of chrome. Purchased in April 2013 as a starter bike. I believe that I am the third owner. Phenomenal gas mileage and easy to ride. Flawless performance, just time for me to move up to the 2006 Harley-Davidson Street Bob I have sitting in my garage.New PA state inspection valid until August 31, 2014. Passed with flying colors. Front disc brakes at 6/32", and rear drum brakes at 5/32". Front Bridgestone tire with 3/32" tread, and rear Metzeler tire with 9/32" tread. Carburetors have recently been cleaned, and new NGK spark plugs will be installed before sale. There is some light scuffing on the rear fender where the passenger pillion pre-owned to sit; I'm going to try to buff most of this out, but in any case, it won't be noticeable should you choose to install a new passenger pillion. They're available for about $50 or so through eBay, and I can help you source 1 if desired. There is a small area of some residue on 1 of the exhaust pipes, but I am going to try to buff that off as well. Chrome is in wonderful shape, as is most of the paint with the exception of the defects I've mentioned.Blue Book retail value $2,900, Blue Book trade-in value $1,965. Willing to sell for $2,400 with universal saddlebags and Memphis shades windshield included and installed, or best credible offer.Additional photos available upon request.

Motorcycle Live and a few of my favourite things for 2013

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

There is lots of shiny new metal on show at Motorcyclelive this year but for me it’s the new Triumph Daytona 675 that steals the show. We’ve been starved of brand new models in the Supersports segment for years but for me the latest Trumpet has made the wait worthwhile. And if its performance matches its looks then I reckon the 2013 bike of the year is a foregone conclusion. The sleek curvy nose contrasts perfectly with the more pointy angular rear end and new side mounted silencer. It is lighter, more powerful and revs harder with much work on on mass centralisation to further improve handling. Few of us have a whole lot of spare cash these days but £8899 for the standard model seems a fair price for such an awesome bike. That said I’d have to consider selling the granny and granddad to find the extra £1700 for the 675R. Available early next year, and surely the perfect all round track day tool, this beauty comes with upgraded suspension, brakes, ABS, a quickshifter and some nice carbon detailing. The white 675R on display at the show looked even better in the flesh than previous images I’d seen so be careful or you might find yourself handing over a deposit. With no money left from the Triumph stand you’ll need your six special numbers to come up for my second favourite show item the AGV Pista GP Project 46. Although road legal this extremely light, full carbon helmet is designed especially for racing with a huge field of vision, extensive ventilation and superb ergonomics. It also comes with earplugs which suggests there may be some compromise in the noise department but it is still an incredible piece of engineering. At £799, this special Pista is also an incredible price but there will only be one hundred available and Raceways Yamaha reckon they are going fast.

Pierre Karsmakers, one of the first European motocross champions to bring his expertise to America, has been elected to the AMA Motorcycle Hall Of Fame Class of 2014. A three-time motocross champion in his native Holland, Karsmakers came to the United States to gain wider exposure and attract the attention of the Japanese motorcycle makers. “All the Japanese (sponsorship) contracts were going to Belgian riders,” Karsmakers said.

Build your own Yamaha VMax

Tue, 15 Jun 2010

For the origami fans out there, Yamaha have a printable Paper Craft version of their VMax motorcycle (or should that be PMax - P for paper obviously) Download each of the five individual PDF pages and get folding. Might want to stock up on printer ink and A4 paper though as it looks like it will be a frustrating model. As it looks fairly impossible and time consuming I'm putting the challenge out for anyone to go out and complete the paper model themself.
