Yamaha XS description

This gorgeous XS 850 Special has only 5700 Miles and has been stored indoors its entire life! It's in beautiful condition, even the seat is original! Starts right up and runs great using either the kick or electric start.  I have refreshed the oil, forks have been rebuilt with new seals and oil, the carbs have been clean, brakes refreshed and rebuilt, cables replaced and a brand new AGM battery. It's registered till next year and has a clean CA title in hand. If I were going to put this back on the road I would definitely consider new tires and would perhaps upgrade the brake pads, though everything does work as it should and there are no modifications whatsoever to this bike. Very clean inside and out. Zero rust to be found even the inside of the tank is spotless. Please feel free to call me, Patrick, at 916-834-6415 if you have any questions about this sweet bike. I was thinking about making it into a cafe racer, but I figured with it being in such immaculate shape it might be better off in someones collection than for me to take the knife to it. Perfect example of a bulletproof powerful triple that is ready to hit the road. I am happy to assist the buyer with arranging shipping, but it will be at the buyer's expense. I have had a perfect track record using the site U-Ship so that is a good place to go if you've never had to move a bike.

    Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Finally Coming to US for 2024

    Thu, 06 Apr 2023

    Sport-tourer equipped with radar-based adaptive cruise control Last November, Yamaha Motor Europe revealed a new Tracer 9 GT+ at EICMA, a new version of its Triple-powered sport tourer equipped with a 7-inch TFT display, adaptive cruise control, and a radar-linked unified braking system. Yamaha Motor USA, however, remained quiet about it, and we later learned the Tracer 9 GT+ was not coming to the States for 2023. In fact, even the less techy regular Tracer 9 was left out of Yamaha Motor USA’s returning model announcements.

    BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates

    Tue, 03 Jan 2012

    In my opinion, the smartest move in the BSB off season has to be Michael Laverty moving from Swan Yamaha to HM Plant Honda. With a ban on electronics for 2012, and in particular traction control, WFR's Graham Gowland has already proved to Laverty how competitive an EVO spec Fireblade can be - so I’m tipping both these riders to be bang on the money at the Brands Hatch season opener in April. Unlike BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha, Honda have deliberately developed their road-going Superbike without electronics to give a user friendly feel with good mechanical traction, so it’ll be interesting to see how the opposition copes with their high-tech trickery stripped off.
