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 |

Mystic Mac's 2014 MotoGP predictions
Thu, 06 Feb 2014There is no real off season in Moto GP. Although we complain about being starved of racing, for those at the sharp end, in little more than two months they have new bikes to assemble, team staff to put in place and sponsors to nail down that will pay for it all. This time frame is also tight for riders, as it seems more every year go straight under the surgeon’s knife after the last round and spend the short winter recuperating for the season ahead. The 2014 Moto GP championship looks like a cracker as apart from the ten full factory riders we now have at least eight non factory riders with properly competitive machinery. We also have five Brits on the grid, two with podium potential. Whatever happens though (providing you have BT Sport) you can just sit back and enjoy watching the incredible Marc Marquez do things that shouldn’t be possible. Speaking of whom, I didn’t believe a Rossi replacement would come this soon. And when I say replacement, I mean a rider that is the full package. Although in some ways quite different to Vale, he’s an equally phenomenal talent plus a very likeable character that appeals to the masses and although respectful to his rivals off track, deadly competitive in the heat of battle. Being young and good looking he’s obviously a dream for sponsors and the sport in general. Marquez has evolved in his own way but thankfully into a perfect replacement for our sport when the VR steps down.
