1977 Yamaha RD-400 - no reserve

This Bike is in nice condition. I bought it 3 years ago with a plan to do a complete ground up rebuild and I've done much of it.  However, too much time spent at work and a house with lots of work looks like I won't finish it for some time. Looks good with only some minor flaws (shown as well as I can). Stuff I've finished:

New Bridgestone tires

Powder coated frame

Almost all new all new rubber grommets including new seals on engine

New chain and sprockets

New oversize pistons and painted cylinders

New battery

I may be able to help deliver the bike based on location and timing- ask if you are interested.

The bike starts easily and runs very well. Everything works well except the 2 stroke oiling pump so I'm running premix and the rear brake master cylinder needs a rebuild. The pump is kinda hard to find but many people run premix and I haven't found any issues. The brake cylinder rebuild kit is $95 so, take that into account. Ready for daily use or and complete paint & freshening as I had planned- good luck

Yamaha Champions Riding School August Update

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Our friends at the Yamaha Champions Riding School have been busy lately. Since moving to New Jersey Motorsports park in April, traffic has steadily risen, with June being sold out and July not far behind. August is very promising with some new ideas (one-day clinics to bring a more economical program to a larger group of riders) being inserted into the mix as well as a normal two-day school at the end of the month, which is already 80% full thanks to the yearly visit from the engineering department of Harley Davidson. Following August YCRS will have two schools the week directly after the AMA Pro races at NJMP.

Graves Yamaha AMA Racer Injured in Scooter Accident

Thu, 29 Mar 2012

Motorcycle racers recognize they compete in a dangerous sport, risking serious harm in a crash. Of course, all riders know about the risks, whether they’re on a race track or on the street. Still it seems odd to hear Daytona Sportbike racer Cameron Beaubier broke his knee cap and injured his wrist crashing a 50cc scooter on the street.
