1973 Yamaha TX500 (1973)
1973 Yamaha TX500. Rare bike. It was Yamaha's first 4 valve per cylinder Motorcycle. Has a balance shaft as well, so it is very smooth. Twin CV carbs, Front Disk with dual piston caliper. Electric and kick start. In its day, it was very expensive, which was a problem for Yamaha, as the RD350 was almost as powerful, but much cheaper. I was just at Mid Ohio, and this was the only one there this year, which should give you an idea as to its rarity. After all, there were two NSU's there.... I got this bike from a friend, who had it in his garage for years, but hadn't run since the early 1980's. He lost the key, which was on an "ET" keychain. I fixed up the bike as follows: Removed the old period accessories that were nasty, and found the proper replacement parts, i.e., grab rail, rear turn signals, gas cap New tubes and tires Rebuilt front caliper and installed new brake disc pads Rebuilt master cylinder Obtained two new keys Rebuilt carbs, all new gaskets and jets Rebuilt petcocks, including new petcock to gas tank gaskets Cleaned gas tank New Plugs New Battery Unifilter foam wrapped around the original air filter core (the paper was solid, crusty and old, NOS is hard to find, so this is the way to go).2016-07-12 04:54:15Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, United States221900

2024 Honda Transalp Review – First Ride
Fri, 03 Nov 2023A European staple comes to America Photos by Align Media/Honda Adventure bikes weren’t really a thing in 1989, at least not in the United States. Even BMW’s venerable GS was nothing more than a misunderstood, oversized dual-purpose machine with ties to the Paris-Dakar rally, which itself was only a little more than a decade old at the time. At the back of the dealership where I worked in 1991, parked next to the tire rack, languished a 1989 Honda XL600V Transalp.

Church of MO: 2003 Honda ST1300

Now if it’s a Honda sport tourer you crave, it’s the Gold Wing or, well, that’s about it. Anyway, the big 1261cc V-four ST1300 was quite the long-distance mile muncher 20 years ago.
