Yamaha xp500yl description

I am the second owner, I bought it 2 years ago with 700 miles, it has all the factory break in inspections from the previous owner, there is no damage on the bike, it looks and drives like a new bike.

I installed a new battery last year, there is plenty of storage in rear trunk and under the seat for 6 bags of groceries. It has 2 small compartments by the front. All oil changes are done at the required intervals

I always ride with my wife on the back and she says its almost as comfortable as a gold wing.

The bike should not even be called a scooter, it will do 110 mph and will out accelerate most cars, and it handles just as well as a newer sportbike.

What can I say it is a blast to ride, I love not ever having to shift gears.

The only reason I am selling is I am moving out of the country this fall

This is local pickup only

Live from the launch of the Yamaha FZ8

Sun, 18 Apr 2010

THAT, MY FRIENDS, is our test rider's transportation to the 2010 Yamaha FZ8 launch in Marseille. Today, Jon Urry will endure 700 miles in a bazzed-up Ford Transit with other UK bike journalists, thanks to the infamous cloud of volcanic ash that's turning our skies a worrying shade of crystal-clear blue. So check back later for Jon's updates on their progress to southern France.

How do 1000s compare to the 800s

Wed, 09 Nov 2011

Now MotoGP has completed its transformation from 800 to 1000cc, how do the lap times between the different bikes compare using Valencia and the post-season test as a benchmark.. Yesterday, Dani Pedrosa was the quickest 1000 on his Honda RC213V setting a time of 1:32.186. To find the quickest time from the outgoing 800 era you have to look at his current Repsol Honda team-mate, Casey Stoner, but it wasn't set on a Honda.

The short but sweet life of the Yamaha R7

Tue, 17 Jan 2012

I was reunited with an old friend recently, my 1999 Virgin Yamaha R7 Superbike. By the end of 1998 I had won three straight BSB titles with the Yamaha YZF750, when main sponsor Cadbury’s pulled out leaving zero funds for a title defence. Wanting desperately to ride the new R7 and thinking a replacement backer would instantly get on board I turned down quite a few offers including a juicy contract from Crescent Suzuki (Paul Denning always enjoys reminding me).
