Yamaha Other description

If you know what this, then I don't have to 'splain it.

If you don't know what this, it's probably not the bike for you...

Mostly stock and mostly original, even has stock exhaust. Try finding that.

Non-stock: Front brake cylinder and hose, one mirror, recovered seat.

Missing: one cylinder fin rubber damper (being re-popped by HVC Cycle), tool kit, original mirrors, amber reflectors.

Generally in good condition for the year and mileage, tank is clean, oil injection works, starts on first kick, weeping a little oil, I think from the oil pump. Title is clear.

Look carefully at the pictures and ask any questions before bidding. This wonderful bike is in storage so give me some time if I have to go there for answers.

Cash only, in person, local pickup only, $500 deposit due within 24 hours, usual stuff. If you want to have it shipped, all I can do is open the door, the rest is up to you.

Love this bike, but I have too many and one has to go. (it's this one or my Harley)

NO IT'S NOT an illusion: you're looking at the 1981 Yamaha OW53, ridden by double World Champion Barry Sheene in the first three rounds of the '81 500GP championship. The bike's owner, aircraft engineering entrepreneur Chris Wilson, has lent the £100,000 GP machine to Visordown for our stand at this year's NEC Motorcycle Show - 27th November to 6th December 2009. Sheene raced the bike in the 1981 championship, where he finished fourth at Salzburgring, sixth at Hockenheim and third at Monza.

FANCY AN ex-Carl Fogarty Harris Yamaha YZR500? A rare chance to acquire the machine ridden by King Carl in the 1992 British Grand Prix has come up on eBay. It's a V4 screamer, recently restored by 500cc guru Nigel Everett and features a host of top notch accessories, including Marchesini wheels, 320mm carbon discs and AP six-pot calipers, to name just a few.

Dakar Begins This Sunday!

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Dakar is an international, bad-ass, multi-day off-road event and if you’re not a fan you should be. Crossing the borders of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile the route takes motorcycle and ATV competitors through more than 5400 miles of extreme riding conditions. Competing cars and trucks go even farther.
