Yamaha Virago description

Custom bobber for sale at an extremely low price! My son recently moved from Texas and brought this custom Yamaha with him. We were in the process of obtaining a bonded title through Texas, but the paper work we turned in had the bike listed as an '82 when in reality it is an '83 so we needed to re-submit it, however, he was already up here in Missouri so we could not complete the process. 

The bike runs absolutely perfect and everything works as it should besides a little slippage in the starter (typical for these Viragos). It was meant as a city commuter for going back and forth from work and my son took the liberty of customizing it a bit to his taste. The front fender was removed, the rear chopped, new tail light and turn signals were added, fork boots added, smaller horn installed, painted matte black, lower Yamamoto handlebars and bar end mirrors added, and he installed a custom exhaust he found on EBay. The bike sounds great and is extremely reliable. Only downfall is it is missing the title. Bike needs to go because my son is going to school in the fall and is more into dirt riding now that he's out in the country.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo has suffered another high-speed crash during free practice ahead of the German Grand Prix at Sachsenring. Lorenzo had a similar crash during practice in the previous round at Assen, but still lined up on the grid to race, finishing fifth despite breaking his collarbone in three places in the accident. This time, however, the Yamaha rider decided to withdraw from the race.
