Yamaha XS description
1974 Yamaha TX650 Electric Start Recently brought up to flawless mechanical condition, this unrestored British-styled motorcycle is fully-operable and has been proven in daily use. Stored for 30+ years indoors, this pre-"cruiser" model Yamaha 650 2-cylinder with electric start has been well-preserved. Alternately named TX650 and XS650; in contrast to the 650 Special, this model remains nearest to the original concept of all. I can assure of the motorcycle's age and use being as low as it appears, having bought the bike from an 80+ year old grandfather who remembered the bike's history in detail. I've owned a lot of seventies-era Yamahas and have seen very few in this condition. I think you'd not be disappointed.Five speeds provide brisk around town use and cruising at 70+ mph. Starter operation is by electric switch or kick lever. Two petcocks supply fuel and a choke lever allows cold-start. Electric starter switch is combined with the decompression lever on the right. Includes tool pouch and manual. Tabs will be needed. Clean title Recent service has included: New tires and tubes, new battery, new clutch cable, rebuilt petcocks,fresh oil change and filter, new fuel filters, carburetor clean/synchronization, brake service w/new fluid, new chain, and new fork seals w/oil. Tires are both Dunlop "Gold" K70; each are of front or rear-specific design. Value based on condition and soundness. Flaws include scrapes at lower right pipe chrome, a chink on headlight ear and paint flaking near fuel filler cap (dribbled when overfilled). Condition: Finish: 8/10 Wear: 9/10 Blemish-free: 7/10 Clean: 9/10 Mechanical: 9/10 Link to specs page with review: http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/yamaha/yamaha_tx650_73.htm |

And in my front room this evening...
Tue, 24 Nov 2009NO IT'S NOT an illusion: you're looking at the 1981 Yamaha OW53, ridden by double World Champion Barry Sheene in the first three rounds of the '81 500GP championship. The bike's owner, aircraft engineering entrepreneur Chris Wilson, has lent the £100,000 GP machine to Visordown for our stand at this year's NEC Motorcycle Show - 27th November to 6th December 2009. Sheene raced the bike in the 1981 championship, where he finished fourth at Salzburgring, sixth at Hockenheim and third at Monza.
Reunions Are Best Done On Motorcycles
Tue, 09 Jul 2013When we were kids, life was much simpler. We could play outside all day without a care in the world. If we were lucky, our parents bought us dirtbikes to use in the field, or in Australian Mark Toia‘s case, his favorite hill.
Yamaha Officially Announces Monster Energy Sponsorship
Tue, 08 Jan 2013As we reported in December, energy drink producer Monster Energy has signed a sponsorship agreement with Yamaha‘s factory MotoGP program, putting its brand on the Yamaha YZR-M1 race bikes, team clothing and equipment, as well as riders Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi. Monster Energy already had a personal sponsorship deal with Rossi but the company will now also sponsor Lorenzo. The reigning MotoGP Champion had previously had a sponsorship arrangement with rival energy drink company RockStar, but Yamaha exercised a clause in its contract with Lorenzo allowing a buy out of the RockStar deal as it conflicts with the team’s sponsor.
