Yamaha XT description

1978 Yamaha XT 500 in great shape- bike has new spokes and tires and a new battier and a new top end on the bike-and runs like the beast that it is . This bike was the bad boy from the day and is a great bike to drive to the trail and go anywhere. Bike has been gone over and needs nothing buy a driver. If you are looking at this bike you already know why they called it the thumper is a blast to drive on the back roads to  the trails. It draws a lot of attention everywhere I have gone on the bike. If you are looking for one of these this is the one low miles -and I would say the bike probably has not seen a trail. This vintage bike will do noting but go up in value-it was the bike of the day for off road riding. Any questions please call Shawn Davis 423-956-3002 Thanks for looking.

(Skip to 7:35 for the fast ones.) CABS is a system used by Superbike teams that makes use of the R1’s digitally controlled throttle. When you change up a gear, the bike blips in the perfect amount of revs to save time on track and make downshifts as quick and easy as clutch-less upshifts.

Tue, 26 Apr 2011

We got a tip-off about a former David Jefferies TT R1 for sale on eBay. The owner says it's from the 1998 TT but I'm pretty sure it was the one he raced in 1999. Here's a little bit more background about the V&M TT effort in 1999: In 1990 Jack Valentine gave up racing to concentrate on running V&M Racing, and after being sacked by Honda at the end of the 1998 season, the team set about to do some giant killing.

The back of the helmet features an 'Evolution of Lorenzo', which charts the transition of the Mallorcan from boy to worldwide phenomenon, in a Charles Darwin cartoon stylee.If that doesn't float your boat there will be more options: Lorenzo's Captain America paint scheme, seen at the Indianapolis GP, will be available by the end of the year, along with the NASA-style astronaut helmet used during Lorenzo's stunning victory at Estoril.The helmet is priced at 484 euros (£442) on the European market.I feel a phone call coming on...
