Yamaha xs650 description

I have this beautiful 1973 Yamaha TX650 up for sale. This has to be one of the nicest original ones that I've owned yet. It runs excellent, and probably has some break in left to do because of its low miles.The only issues that I can speak of is that the speedometer needs a bulb, and the kick starter needs a spring. The kick starter works fine, but doesn't return. This bike has brand new Dunlop Roadmaster tires on it, and has a fresh battery. I have a clean Iowa title for this bike. Its becoming difficult to find early bikes in good condition or ones that have not been chopped up. Make this one yours! 

Thanks,

Nick

1999 Yamaha YZF-R1: 165-miles

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

This is what auctioneers would call an 'investment grade vehicle'. I'd call it a bit of a waste. This 1999 Yamaha YZF-R1 has only covered 165-miles since new, that's an average of 12.6 miles a year..

An Island tour with a legend

Fri, 17 Sep 2010

What you are watching is a highlight of Mike Hailwood's segment from the racing documentary Take it to the Limit - A Motorcycle Odyssey. The Yamaha - built by the extraordinary Kel Carruthers - that Hailwood is riding in the clip featured a unique frame with the camera housed within. The voice-over recording provided by Hailwood was done by taping a small mic to the bottom of his lip so he could dictate his guide to the 37.73 mile route.

The perfect classified advert

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Forget “One careful owner, low mileage, full service history” – when it comes to penning classifieds we can all learn from Kyle Miller and Joe Strachila who’ve plundered their marketing genius to come up with the best scooter advert we’ve ever seen. The pair, from Seattle, became an internet sensation last year when they created a hyperbole-packed ad for $700-worth of frankly rubbish 1995 Pontiac Grand-Am. Now they’ve pulled the same trick to get rid of a Y2K Yamaha SH50 (the comically-named ‘Razz’), advertising it on Cragslist as “the fulfilment of your wildest fantasies”.
