Yamaha Other description

I am a YDS3C fan, and thought that when I retired I would enjoy restoring many of these. Well, grandchildren and old age to funny things to garage shop ambition.
What I have here is a matching numbers, titled, complete bike ready for restoration. When I acquired this bike a decade ago what drew me to it was that it was complete, straight, has a great gas tank, ( inside is clean, outside is straight, one badge is super and  it alone is worth $100 in ebay), beautiful speedometer/odometer, with keys, and  motor does not appear to have been tampered with. Now the downside is that the original owner's solution to fix some things was a bit awkward. The end of the shifter  shaft was damaged and he welded a bolt head on to the end and fastened his own idea of a shift lever. As the bike sat and aged the kick starter lost it's ability to kick the engine over. This motor will have to be disassembled anyway to do a proper restoration, and these internal engine parts are easily sourced. 
I  am willing to hold the bike for 30 days in order to help the buyer arrange shipping.

Josh Hayes has won his second consecutive AMA Superbike title, clinching the championship in a tightly contested Race One at the 2011 season finale at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

The Monster Energy Graves Yamaha R1 rider was consistent all season, finishing with three wins and 12 podium finishes in 14 races, and finishing fourth in the two times he missed the podium.

Rossi 'training' at his MotoRanch

Mon, 30 Jan 2012

Like Kenny Roberts, Valentino Rossi has got his own ranch where he has built his own private motocross track and dirt oval. The above YouTube video shows Rossi training on the flat-track circuit that makes up his 'MotoRanch' located near his home town of Tavullia. He's shown riding a Yamaha, but that's probably because Ducati don't have themselves a scrambler.

Intermot 2012: 2013 Yamaha FZ8 Announced

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Along with the announcement of the updated 2013 FJR1300A, Yamaha also announced that its naked middleweight roadster, the FZ8, has received a handful of updates for 2013. Key among the modest improvements is revised EFI programming for smoother, snappier throttle response, and front suspension is now full adjustability. The fork has new preload and rebound adjustments atop the fork legs, while a new compression damping adjuster is located at the bottom of the fork.
