Yamaha XS description
1978 Yamaha XS500. Ready to ride! Pictures speak for themselves. Lots
of work done so it is ready to go. Everything works including electric
start. Has Supertrapp mufflers which sound awesome. Includes original
taillight assembly to return to stock. Has the factory oil filter conversion so filters are easy and inexpensive to replace. Bike needs nothing to ride.
These bikes are similar to the XS650 but know to handle better and are lighter. I like the look of them too. This was the last and best year of the 500's. New parts include: -Fresh full synthetic oil change and filter -New tires -Mike's XS new fuel petcocks, lines, and filters -Seat slightly modified and recovered -New taillight/brake assembly I am sure there is more that I am missing. Let me know if you have any questions. Bike is for sale locally. I have the right to end auction at any item as long as there are no open offers pending through Ebay. Thanks! |

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new
Mon, 25 Mar 2013THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place. Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series. Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing). The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!
