Yamaha Other description

Recently built and completed in July 2013. Taken down to the bare frame. Completely smoothed out. Very clean. All new parts: - tires, front and rear brakes, wheel bearings, neck bearings, fork seals, stage 3 jetted carburetors, individual pod air filters, all fluids and filters, battery, lights, paint, exhaust, mirrors, horn, grips, gaskets, wiring, inside of fuel tank is clean, powdercoated wheels, 12v car charging port for your yuppie smart phone, etc. Bike has been completely gone through. Starts right up no problem, even on a cold morning. Shifts great. Everything works as it should, speedometer, lights, etc. Nasty loud exhaust with cute little blue flames.

I put the ammo cans (for storage). The cans and brackets come on and off easily, with no sign of ever being present.

Yamaha 650cc 4cyl engine. Shaft drive. Completely smoothed out DOM tubing hardtail frame. All welds grinded smoothed, body worked, primed, sanded, again, and painted.  Custom fenders, lights, seat, tank, etc. Legally titled as a 1982 Yamaha Maxim 650 (which is what this bike started out as in July in stock, ridable form). All street legal, including mirror and horn. Up to date/recent IL title in my name

Fast, Loud, & Exciting bike to ride. Not for the faint of heart or softies. Gets lots of looks and compliments everywhere it is taken.

I just got back from taking it to Colorado. I rode it up Pike's Peak and Mount Evans with no problems. High elevation tested baby!!!

Bigger engine, new saddlebags, and updated electronics This just in from Yamaha Europe, whether this applies Stateside remains to be seen: For 2023, Yamaha has updated the Niken in just about every area of the bike. The high points include the engine, TFT functionality, and suspension. Since the company considers the Niken to be “one of Yamaha’s most sophisticated Sport Tourers,” the emphasis on improving the quality of the rider’s experience should come as no surprise.

$8,000 Custom ATV up for Grabs at ATV.com

Thu, 02 Jul 2009

Our sister site, ATV.com, is ready to give away the Yamaha Raptor ATV they’ve been customizing over the last few weeks. They took a base Yamaha Raptor 250 valued at $4,499.00 and modified it into an $8,000 beast!  Why they just don’t keep it in the office to use for coffee runs is beyond me. They’ve slapped on new air filters, mufflers, new alloy wheels, new tires, front bumper and grab bar, skid plates, nerf bars, new grips, new seat cover, new plastics, and more!

Yamaha to Produce PES1 and PED1 Electric Motorcycles by 2016

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Yamaha announced plans to release the production versions of its PES1 and PED1 concept models within two years as part of the company’s plans to enter the electric motorcycle segment. The PES1 and PED1 (which stands for “Passion, Electric, Street” and “Passion, Electric, Dirt”) concepts were first revealed at last November’s Tokyo Motor Show. In the company’s newly-published annual report, Yamaha confirmed plans to produce the two models, saying: “In sports motorcycles, we are working to create new value with EV sports motorcycles, which we aim to launch in two years, with the development of the small, on-road sports PES1, as well as the PED1, which are being developed to expand the scope of electric vehicles to the off-road world.
