Yamaha XS description

Selling my 1981 xs650 chopper. This has been a side project of mine for the past few years. Bike is all custom built. Hard tailed frame 2" stretch and drop. All built and welding in a frame jig. Tank is one off hand shaped and molded to the frame. Sissy bar is one off twisted steel. Hand made battery and electronics box wrapped in white pleated vinyl. Seat is all hand made and wrapped in white and gold zodiac tuck n roll vinyl. Tc Bros forward controls. Rebuilt 1973xs engine. Also have the original motor too. Starts up and runs great. Carbs are all rebuilt and the tank is lined. Full custom panel paint job over the entire bike. Painted with ppg shop line white and a mix of house of kolor candy golds for the panels. 18" rear whee and 23" front spool wheel. Almost all the hardware is chrome or stainless. Custom made exhaust that is currently just bare metal. Tips are chrome.  Has a brand new clutch that needs to be adjusted. Carbs need to be dialed in. May need a new battery. There are charging leads in the front of the electronics box so you don't need to take the seat off to charge it. Bike is 99% done. Just needs a few finishing touches to be fully rideable. Clean Massachusetts title. I have a LOT of work into this bike. I hate to see it go but I need to money for other projects and want to focus on my cars right now. Any questions please ask.

The problem with electric bikes...

Mon, 11 Jun 2012

This weekend sees the running of the most famous car race of them all, the Le Mans 24hrs, and to be a driver of one of the front-running cars has got to be fairly high on the list of jobs that will make ladies swoon. Speed, danger, noise, fame, physical fitness and lots and lots of money, the key elements of any top-line race series, tend to ensure that its star competitors manage to appear cool. But the latest press picture from Yamaha – publicising the firm's link with (Yamaha shareholder) Toyota's Le Mans effort – manages to strip away every last shred of of swagger from the team's drivers by plonking them on Yamaha EC-03 electric scooters.

Who To Watch In AMA Pro Superbike This Weekend

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Nelson Even though reigning AMA Pro Superbike champ Josh Herrin has left the series to try his hand in the Moto2 series, the Superbike field is still filled deep with talent heading into this weekend’s series opening round at Daytona. Here are just a few names to keep an eye on this weekend.

And it's goodbye from him

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

THIS IS Valentino Rossi's farewell letter to his Fiat Yamaha team following the announcement the flambouyant Italian is to head to Ducati MotoGP in 2011.The hand-written letter, mistakes and all, is written in almost a 'my first romance' kinda way. It's touching, if a little bizarre. Some of the letter reads:“Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!'"Somehow, we can't see Casey Stoner gushing quite as freely when he leaves Ducati for Repsol Honda.
