Yamaha Other description

This is my 85 RZ500 I am listing with no reserve. I won't go into details about the history of the 
RZ500 If your looking at this then you know what it is. This bike is a rider not a show bike.
The bodywork although original is not perfect by any means most notably the belly pan which is pretty rough. Scratches here and there slight surface rust nothing major so keep in mind this is not some garage queen. A great 10 footer. I may have a new set of graphics I never wanted to put them on unless the bike was painted. What this bike is however is an excellent running bike that had an engine rebuild with receipts not long ago.
Bike starts on first or second kick and has a new battery. I just rode it to the shop for a thorough going through and will have compression numbers for all cylinders this week. My Mechanic will be able to answer any other questions as well.
These 2 strokes are just a blast to ride. Nothing quite like it.
This bike would be a perfect candidate for a full restoration as everything is all there 
and like i said the bike runs fantastic and has built in heated seats:)))  
I want to start selling off some of my collection of bikes so look for more bikes to come very soon. Some are riders and some are Museum quality. I can send more pictures and video of the bike running to anyone who is seriously interested. It is currently registered and has a valid Maryland title. Shipping is buyers responsibility

Shawn Higbee Wins On The Brough Superior Taylor Made Racing Moto2

Thu, 01 May 2014

In only its second race appearance, the Brough Superior Taylor Made Racing Moto2 bike competed in the WERA F1 and B Superbike events on April 27th at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, California, run in conjunction with the first round of the GEICO Superbike Shootout, presented by Yamaha. During the F1 race, rider Shawn Higbee moved up to as high as 2nd place from a 5th row start on the Brough Superior TMRGP2 bike.  The TMRGP2′s lightweight all carbon fiber chassis and 600cc Honda powerplant demonstrated impressive cornering speed on the tight infield sections but could not match the top speed of the heavily modified 1000cc F1 bikes on the long straights. On the last lap Higbee was shuffled back to 4th place at the finish line.

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.
