Yamaha XS description
1973 Yamaha TX 650. Kick and electric start. I installed a Pamco ignition and hi output coil, bike starts w/ one kick hot or cold. Original mufflers sound great and are in fine condition. I picked this bike up 3 yrs ago and did an over the winter restoration to it. I installed a second disc up front with Spiegler braided brake hoses, new master cylinder and pads. New oring chain and sprockets, clutch actuator and cable. Carbs and petcocks have been rebuilt, new throttle cables and grips. All electric work proper and the charging system is great. I had the seat reupholstered and new foam put on. I did the tapered steering head bearings and the bronze swingarm bushings. The motor has never been apart to my knowledge and the compression is great with no leaks on or under the engine. The original speedometer was replaced after I got it and the actual mileage is closer to 18k than what the present speedo shows. The paint is all original and looks great except for one small chipped area near the fuel cap and some fading on the left side near the Yamaha badge. The tires are at about 70% of life left on them. This has been an original VT bike and thus the mileage is pretty low. The bike runs great but I have other projects and no time to ride right now. I'd like to see someone use it and not have it sit in my garage all winter. I will need a 10% deposit on the winning bid and the bike must be picked up or shipped within 10 days.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012Last week, we wrote about retired Formula One racer Michael Schumacher taking part in a track day at France’s Paul Ricard circuit on a Ducati 1199 Panigale.

The seven-time F1 champion was joined by TT racer John McGuinness, retired MotoGP racer Randy Momola, Moto2 racer Pol Espargaro and Keith Flint, a musician from the group Prodigy and a racer in the U.K.’s Hottrax Endurance Championship.

Simon and Leo
Thu, 11 Aug 2011If you are a track day regular this year, you may well have bumped into former racer and friendly Kiwi, Simon Crafar. I first met him in Malaysia in 1990 when he was riding for a Yamaha dealer team, sweating his way round circuits like Shah Alam and Johor Bahru but with a long term plan to make it onto the World scene. And he didn’t take long as after riding for Honda in the UK in 1992 he moved to WSB in 1994 and enjoyed success with both the Honda and Kawasaki factory teams.
