Yamaha YZF-R description
Hello,
I am selling my very low Km(5,232) R6 that I built over this winter. I spared no expense in building it into this creation I had envisioned. I put the best of the best racing parts into it to compete with the new generation of bikes. I was given the opportunity to ride a BMW S1000RR this season. Rather then leave this R6 parked all year, I am putting it up for sale. A few key points to note here are. It makes 119 RWHP on 91 octane pump gas. Ohlins and Elka do not make a rear shocks for this model any longer. This rear shock is a custom built triple adjustable racing unit by Stadium Suspensions Quebec. It utilizes a standard Ohlins spring for inter changeability. This bike can be switched back to a street bike. However, it would need to have the replacement frame (that is included) installed. Which is obviously quite a task but all the power to you. Front forks are from a 2010 R6 they were rebuilt with a K-Tech full racing SSRK cartridge kit by Jodie Christies crew chief John Sherrard of Accelerated Racing Technologies in Ontario. They were set up for a 180lbs expert rider at Castrol raceway. Making this bike very stable and balanced. The bike has been equipped and tuned with the new PCV power commander. Brand new (label still on) Pirelli racing slicks were also just installed this May. Its a perfect bike for the Novice to Intermediate racer. Though I am sure we a have a few experts in our club that can and would love to turn some very fast lap times on this nasty little super sport. It has been geared, setup and saftey wired to for Castrol Raceway. New Parts List Below:

Frog eBike – the Electric Successor to 1985 Frog FZ750 Concept
Tue, 03 Apr 2012San Francisco-based Frog Design released images of a new electric motorcycle concept, just as its influential Yamaha FZ750-based Rana concept gets enshrined at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Frog designer Jin Soek Hwang prepared the Frog eBike concept as an expression of how electric motor technology can influence motorcycle design. In a post on Frog’s blog, the designer says he was inspired in part by Frog’s 1985 FZ750 Rana concept (pictured after the jump).
Q3 2013 US Motorcycle Sales Results
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Motorcycle and scooter sales in the U.S. in 2013 remain consistent with last year’s figures, according to data released by the Motorcycle Industry Council. Several manufacturers blamed poor weather for the poor start this year, and the rebounding sales in the third quarter helped to negate the slow sales from earlier in the year.
I can die happy!
Wed, 04 Sep 2013As an eighteen year old Kenny Roberts was my bike racing God. I loved Barry Sheene but as a Yamaha FS1E rider I always wanted the little American to win simply because his bike resembled mine. The coverage of Grand Prix in the late seventies was sketchy but I clearly remember watching the epic Sheene/Roberts battle unfold at the Silverstone GP on my council estate telly. The Dutchman, Wil Hartog was hanging in there for a while but as the laps unfolded it became a two way battle with Sheene looking favourite to win. Sheene lost the most time as the pair lapped a certain George Fogarty so my hero Roberts eventually won by just three hundredths of a second. I’m not sure what happened next but being a Sunday we would no doubt be skidding around later in the day at the Pines chippie pretending to be Roberts and Sheene. Fast forward thirty four years and a boyhood fantasy came true as I headed out on Chris Wilson’s 1980 Roberts machine for the Barry Sheene tribute laps at last weekend’s Moto GP. It crackled into life instantly and felt as sharp as any of the more modern 500s I used to race. The temperature gauge had a maximum marker on 60 degrees so to begin with I was nervous as it didn’t move but being a hot day (although still keeping my hand on the clutch) I convinced myself it wasn’t working. The bike felt tiny, not helped by the fact I only just squeezed into my 1989 Marlboro Yamaha leathers. It still felt rapid though as I played out the 1979 classic in my head while getting tucked in down the Hanger straight. Steve Parrish was also out there on one of Barry’s 500cc Heron Suzukis so we did our best to copy the famous last lap at Woodcote Corner where Sheene came so close to winning his home GP. As a lad I would have said the chances of me riding round Silverstone on a GP winning Kenny Roberts machine were zero, but in the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true!
