Yamaha Other description
This is my Yamaha 650 Turbo Seca. It is in excellent condition. Everything works, including all lights, gauges, warning lights, signals, etc.
The compression on all four cylinders is 125 psi, about as good as you can get. I have recently rebuilt all four carbs with complete carb kits, not just cleaned them and replace a few gaskets. The petcock was rebuilt (very important with these bikes as otherwise fuel will leak through the carbs into the crankcase and through the turbo), replaced all spark plugs, all fluids, rebuilt the front brake calipers with new NOS Yamaha kits, replaces the brake lines with braided stainless steel lines and resealed the front forks. The carburator air box was resealed and the fuel pressure regulator was replaced. The turbo was also replaced with a rebuilt unit. It has a new battery. The bike also has the Yamaha Turbo Boost which the raises the turbo boost from 7 to 12 psi.
The bike starts easily, idles smoothly and runs as it should. At about 5-6000 rpm the turbo comes on the bike takes off. It is a blast to drive, smooth, fast and very agile.
The bike is in excellent condition for it's age. I would say it is well above average cosmetically, with just a few paints scratches and nicks. There are no dents or digs and the mufflers are dent free.
There are many sights where you can learn all about these great bikes. One I like is Vince's Seca Turbo page. It was a big help in the restoration and continuing maintenance of this rare bike.
Buyer is responsible for pick-up and shipping. I will assist and can store the bike inside for a reasonable amount of time.

Milan Show: Moto2 tried and tested
Tue, 02 Nov 2010The insanity of Moto2 doesn't seem like the right home for the elegance of the Rizoma brand. But the Rizoma ProGuard system has helped secure the levers of Toni Elias on his road to championship success in the inaugural Moto2 season. The example above was on an attractive Rizoma-enhanced BMW S1000RR, but the lever guards are not limited to sports bikes, they were also visible on Yamaha's FZ8. The patented design can tilt up to 10 degrees providing full lever coverage and can be added by simply replacing the bike's existing bar-ends.
And in my front room this evening...
Tue, 24 Nov 2009NO 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.
