Yamaha XS description

This is a custom 1978 Yamaha XS650.  The bike started out as a stock bike in great shape and was taken apart, chopped and a TC Brothers hard tail was installed.  The frame, motor, and sheet metal is all done in metallic blue powder coat.  The rims were blasted and powder coated black then new bearings were installed and Firestone Deluxe tires.  The electrical system was updated with a new regulator rectifier which was mounted in a fake oil tank with a sealed battery and all other electrical parts.  All wiring is made of modern cloth coated wire which has silicon heat shielding and was hidden in copper pipe.  The exhaust was custom made with solid brass tips which match the grips and pegs.  All starter parts were removed from the motor in an effort to reduce weight and the bike is kick start only.  The forks and triple trees were shaved and polished as were the brake calipers.  The rear master cylinder is made of glass, brass and billet aluminum and the gas cap is also made of brass.  The seat is custom hand tooled leather.  Lots of custom parts on this bike.  I made the bike in 2012 so it has four year of wear on it, see pictures.  The battery was just replaced in the bike.  Sold as is and buyer is responsible for pickup.  $200 deposit due via PayPal within 48 hours of winning bid and remaining balance due via certified check or money order within 7 days of purchase.

French Moto Website Anticipates Versys 1000 at EICMA 2011

Mon, 24 Oct 2011

Musings of a liter-size engined Kawasaki Versys have circulated the web for a few years now, as loyalists of the likable Versys 650, as well as displacement-driven riders waiting in the wings, have pondered the potential of a more powerful adventure bike from Kawasaki that’s in the same league as BMW’s R1200GS and Yamaha’s Super Tenere. Alas, nothing of the sort has ever left the lips of Kawasaki, let alone go into production. Recently, however, the French motorcycle website, Moto-net.com, has produced convincing images that appear like photos of a complete Versys 1000, including matching hard luggage.

The new Yamaha Tenere is preparing to debut

Sun, 30 Jul 2017

The next-generation 689cc touring enduro is almost ready. The bike, magnificent in its conciseness and Dakar functionality, is a kind of preview of the future SUV that will replace the XT660Z Tenere. The rival of the BMW F800 GS/F 800 GS Adventure and the promising KTM 790 Adventure borrowed the 689cc inline-two from the Yamaha MT-07 and XSR700 (on these bikes it develops 74.8 hp and 68 Nm).

Yamaha Produces 35th Anniversary Edition SR400 for Japan

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Yamaha is celebrating the 35th anniversary of its SR series with a special edition model in Japan. Produced in limited numbers, the 35th Anniversary Edition Yamaha SR400 offers an exclusive leaf green metallic color, special badging and, in an unusual gesture, a lower price than the base model. The original SR500 was introduced in 1978 as a street-focused version of the Yamaha XT500.
