Yamaha XS description

1978 Yamaha XS 1100

Clear New York State Title, 2017 Registration, Plated and Insured.

Everything has been chopped off this motorcycle, yet it still passed the NYS Inspection.

Everything works to make the motorcycle street legal and it runs.

If this is your first motorcycle, you may want to reconsider your other choices.

This Yamaha has a rigid rear end with no shocks.  However, I did install springs on the solo seat to absorb some of the impact.

Shinko tires have about 1000 gentle miles on them.

Seriously though, if you have never ridden a motorcycle before, this bike is too fast for you.

No Reserve Auction. 

I will not ship this bike anywhere.

Purchaser most arrange for pick up.

Cash at time of pick up.

Yamaha Champions Riding School August Update

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Our friends at the Yamaha Champions Riding School have been busy lately. Since moving to New Jersey Motorsports park in April, traffic has steadily risen, with June being sold out and July not far behind. August is very promising with some new ideas (one-day clinics to bring a more economical program to a larger group of riders) being inserted into the mix as well as a normal two-day school at the end of the month, which is already 80% full thanks to the yearly visit from the engineering department of Harley Davidson. Following August YCRS will have two schools the week directly after the AMA Pro races at NJMP.
