Yamaha XS description
1973 Yamaha TX 650. Kick and electric start. I installed a Pamco ignition and hi output coil, bike starts w/ one kick hot or cold. Original mufflers sound great and are in fine condition. I picked this bike up 3 yrs ago and did an over the winter restoration to it. I installed a second disc up front with Spiegler braided brake hoses, new master cylinder and pads. New oring chain and sprockets, clutch actuator and cable. Carbs and petcocks have been rebuilt, new throttle cables and grips. All electric work proper and the charging system is great. I had the seat reupholstered and new foam put on. I did the tapered steering head bearings and the bronze swingarm bushings. The motor has never been apart to my knowledge and the compression is great with no leaks on or under the engine. The original speedometer was replaced after I got it and the actual mileage is closer to 18k than what the present speedo shows. The paint is all original and looks great except for one small chipped area near the fuel cap and some fading on the left side near the Yamaha badge. The tires are at about 70% of life left on them. This has been an original VT bike and thus the mileage is pretty low. The bike runs great but I have other projects and no time to ride right now. I'd like to see someone use it and not have it sit in my garage all winter. I will need a 10% deposit on the winning bid and the bike must be picked up or shipped within 10 days.

2014 Yamaha MT-09 Three-Cylinder Street Bike Announced for Europe – to be Named FZ-09 in US
Tue, 11 Jun 2013A couple of weeks ago, Yamaha Europe released a video called “Dark Side of Japan” teasing a new street bike it claimed would “change the sport motorcycle world.” Today, the company revealed its new model, introducing a new naked sportbike powered by a “Crossplane” three-cylinder engine called the MT-09. (EDIT: and we can now reveal that the North American version will be known as the Yamaha FZ-09.) The 2014 Yamaha MT-09 is powered by a new 847cc three-cylinder engine first teased at Intermot last year. According to Yamaha, the MT-09′s engine produces 113.4 hp at 10,000 rpm and 64.5 ft-lb.
What Would Colin Edwards Do?
Wed, 25 May 2011As fast as Colin Edwards is on the track, the Texas Tornado may be even quicker behind a microphone. We saw some of that last year in the Yamaha-produced “Man-Cation” video with Edwards and his then-Tech 3 teammate Ben Spies, and Edwards can always be relied upon for a good quote at press conferences. The producers of MotoGP’s official video podcast “After the Flag” have taken notice of CEIII’s wit.
Motorcyclist Nabbed For Going 166 MPH on NY Thruway
Fri, 04 May 2012McCarthy’s wit isn’t as quick as his motorcycle. “A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.” (Proverbs 12:23 KJV) According to reports, New York State Police arrested Nikkolaus McCarthy, 25, of Charlton, N.Y., this past Wednesday afternoon after he was “clocked” riding his motorcycle at 166 mph on the New York State Thruway in Ravena, N.Y. But it seems McCarthy needs to learn the simple concept of avoiding self-incrimination.
