Yamaha Other description

The bike has been gone through completely.  Everything works as it should.  We took it down to the frame.  Just about every part was either sandblasted or prepped with a wire wheel before being primed and repainted.  We lowered the ride height by lowering the front shocks and replacing the rear shock – it’s a simple swap with no cutting of the frame - lowers the ride height by about 2.5 inches.  Can be restored to original ride height very easily.  Currently has 4311 miles - may go up a few miles.

Josh Hayes To Wear RS Taichi In 2014

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha rider Josh Hayes will be sporting a new look this upcoming racing season. The three-time AMA Pro Racing SuperBike Champion will be protected by RS Taichi racing leathers and gloves while aboard his Yamaha YZF-R1 SuperBike. After a long-standing relationship with Teknic, his previous protective gear provider who ceased operation last year, Josh had an opportunity to go in a new direction.

Yamaha TCROSS. This was a TMAX

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Great looking girl, crazy bike. This TCROSS started life as a T-Max but it was given to a former motorcycle designer and former MotoGP mecahanic to turn it into something unique as part of Yamaha's Hypermodified series. They've certainly managed to make it unique.

The Japanese oddity to naming teams

Wed, 28 Jul 2010

Whenever the calendar shifts to a major Japanese race, such as the Suzuka 8hr, one of the more amusing things to do is glance down the team sheet This years highlight for me has to be team Moto Bum, with other stand outs including aprilia D.D.BOYS, Team Etching Factory Yamaha and MITO MOTO & e'freaks Honda. Looking back through the ages some of the great Japanese team names have been Burning Blood Racing Team, Dog Fight Racing and Team Moto Space amongst others.
