Yamaha XS description
1978 yamaha xs 750. Bike runs great for a bike this old. No leaks and no smoke. Runs extremely strong and is fast. Many new parts. Just add a cafe seat and tail and you will have a beautiful cafe racer. Tank is in really good shape and so is the paint. Fairly new tires, fresh oil, new plugs/caps/wires, intake pods, cafe bars, has black bars installed now but will include chrome. Needs some attention to detail such as having the idle adjusted. Once the bike is warm it tends to idle high. Carbs and petcocks were totally rebuilt last year. I and the previous owner put alot of time and money into bringing this bike back. Many hours of service and finding original parts. I recently installed new ignition coils. When the bike hasn't been run in a while, it takes a little while to kick over. Probably normal. Normal wear and tear for a bike this old. I get alot of compliments on it. Shifts perfect. Really nothing wrong with it, i just have to get rid of a few toys. Too much to say....any questions please ask....thanks....and as you can see my feedback is 100%. I dont b.s. about anything i sell. More pics to come.

On Aug-21-13 at 06:58:14 PDT, seller added the following information:Full Kerker exhaust. Hard to find and very nice loud sound. Best exhaust ever made for this bike.
On Aug-21-13 at 12:27:35 PDT, seller added the following information:Please not: bike is dusty and dirty from riding. I didn't get a chance to spray it down before i took the pics. Also when i took the cover off it today, the cover caught on the rear blinker and bent it. Cost maybe 10 bucks to replace. I dont have time to wire it up. Still works perfectly. Also you can see i have installed a custom flex led strip for the brake light. Looks really sharp at night. Also oil on the ground in the pics is NOT from this bike. It was from the car or whatever was parked in my reserved space before i rented it. Bike will look great once i spray it down.

Mystic Mac's 2014 MotoGP predictions
Thu, 06 Feb 2014There is no real off season in Moto GP. Although we complain about being starved of racing, for those at the sharp end, in little more than two months they have new bikes to assemble, team staff to put in place and sponsors to nail down that will pay for it all. This time frame is also tight for riders, as it seems more every year go straight under the surgeon’s knife after the last round and spend the short winter recuperating for the season ahead. The 2014 Moto GP championship looks like a cracker as apart from the ten full factory riders we now have at least eight non factory riders with properly competitive machinery. We also have five Brits on the grid, two with podium potential. Whatever happens though (providing you have BT Sport) you can just sit back and enjoy watching the incredible Marc Marquez do things that shouldn’t be possible. Speaking of whom, I didn’t believe a Rossi replacement would come this soon. And when I say replacement, I mean a rider that is the full package. Although in some ways quite different to Vale, he’s an equally phenomenal talent plus a very likeable character that appeals to the masses and although respectful to his rivals off track, deadly competitive in the heat of battle. Being young and good looking he’s obviously a dream for sponsors and the sport in general. Marquez has evolved in his own way but thankfully into a perfect replacement for our sport when the VR steps down.
