Yamaha XS description
I have owned this bike for over 30 years (the mileage is original) and recently completed this mild Cafe project. Very strong
stock engine, runs great. Fresh oil change (Amzoil) and replacable filter, part of the custom oil cooler, and fork oil.
New: tires, shocks, 4 gal. tank, set-backs, halogen headlight conversion, fork brace, bar-end mirrors.
Cafe seat professionally upholstered on stock XS seat pan (so it flips up like stock).
Awesome front twin disc brake system with SS brake lines and correct master cylinder for the set-up.
Includes all original take-off parts including the excellent original seat and tank.
This is not a restoration, but is a really nice 35 year old bike, with no issues, that shows the appropriate patina (a bike to be proud of).
Clear title in my name. No warranty given or implied. Transport is the buyers responsibility.
Non-refundable $500 deposit required at the auction end (contact me for deposit payment and balance payment).
Bike is being listed locally & may be removed from auction listing if sold prior to auction end.
Thanks for your interest.

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.

1974: Onboard an MV racer with Phil Read
Fri, 19 Feb 2010ANOTHER CRACKING BIT of vintage racing footage, this time featuring multiple motorcycle world champion Phil Read on the awesome-sounding MV Agusta 500-4.The footage is from the 1974 movie 'The Iron Horse' made by Frenchman Pierre-William Glenn.Read’s 1974 500cc World Championship victory was the last year a four-stroke won the world title before the advent of the MotoGP class in 2002. Giacomo Agostini won the crown from Yamaha in 1975, followed by Suzuki-mounted Barry Sheene in '76 and '77. The footage is bloody good, considering the camera technology of the day.
