    Up for sale is a barn find 1979 Yamaha XS Eleven with a complete Vetter Windjammer Kit. Motorcycle was purchased new by the last owner in 1979 and was driven on the road until around 1989, then it went into storage.  I haven't tried to hook up a battery and to start it, it sat for such an long time and that's something for the new owner to go thru all parts. Engine turns free, tires holding air and there's a dent in the tank.

    XS750SF   From the pictures you can see she's in nice shape.  The tank has some scratches but other than that there isn't much to tinker with.  I'll be honest, I don't really want to sell her but I cant ride 4 bikes at once.  down side, she needs a front tire.  up side, I just put in a new AGM battery, rebuilt the pet cocks and the carbs then spent 3 hundred bucks having them professionally, checked and sync'd.  The forks were rebuilt in 09. She is completely stock with the exception of the highway bars (they are Yamaha bars though) and the seat.  The seat pan is original but the previous owner, Andy, had it redone. I have had her since 08 and she has been garage kept during that time, as far as I know, she always has been.

    This is a Yamaha XS 650 special which has been lightly customized with low bars, bar end mirrors, fork boots, Harley style mufflers, and a unique seat cowl.  The bike has a clear PA title signed by the previous owner.  I noticed that while the mileage on the title states 28000 the mileage on the speedometer is 23500.  The bike started easily on fresh gas and idled and accelerated smoothly on a 10 mile test drive.  I did not exceed 65 mph as the tires are dry and have sidewall cracks, but the bike seemed to have plenty more speed on tap.  All gears shifted well and all lights and instruments work. The mufflers are not as loud as they look and bike has a deep mellow tone.  The engine does not make any unusual noises.  The brakes felt a little spongy and probably need some attention.   There is a dent in the tachometer housing (see picture.)  There is a deep scratch on the top of the front fender but is is hard to see (see picture.)   There are small tears at the front lower corners of the seat cover that have been sewn up (see picture.)

Yamaha R6 to Continue Racing in Supersport Next Generation Category

Mon, 17 Jan 2022

No R6 replacement for the near future Last month, the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) provided the first look at the new “ Supersport Next Generation” models that will redefine middleweight racing class. Starting with the 2022 season, the World Supersport class (and their equivalents in various national racing series such as MotoAmerica) will add new models such as the Ducati Panigale V2, MV Agusta F3 800, MV Agusta F3 Superveloce, Triumph Street Triple RS, Suzuki GSX-R750, and the 636cc Kawasaki ZX-6R. The primarily 600cc models that previously represented the class will continue for one more season, before the Supersport Next Generation models take over completely in 2023.

A look forward to the year (and rides) to come You’ve read our weeks long tribute to 2021 in the form of the MO Best Of awards.

Yamaha Tenere 700 Raid Prototype First Look

Tue, 23 Nov 2021

Return to sender Well the seat was a little high, at 34.6 inches, but that didn’t stop the Yamaha Ténéré 700 from doing very well in last summer’s blockbuster middleweight ADV comparison. Keeping it simple and keeping the weight down was a great recipe for success, and now Yamaha is fixin’ to take it to the next level with a Ténéré 700 Raid, for which this machine it showed at EICMA serves as prototype.

Yamaha Announces MT-10 And MT-10 SP For 2022

Mon, 22 Nov 2021

This news should come as a surprise to nobody, but it’s still equally as exciting to finally get the official confirmation: Yamaha is bringing an updated MT-10 to the US. Maybe more exciting is the announcement that Yamaha is also bringing an MT-10 SP here as well. We reported earlier this month that a new MT-10 was coming, but at the time, the report was only confirmed for Europe.

What's The 2022 Yamaha R7 Like To Ride On The Street?

Wed, 13 Oct 2021

The R7 is a barrel of laughs on track, but is it any good on the roads? Credit: Photos by Evans Brasfield | Videos by Paisley Kerr and Sean Matic I make it a point to tell everyone who is willing to listen (and even some who aren’t) how much fun the new Yamaha R7 is. While most people get up in arms about the name of the bike, I’m over here having a blast actually riding the thing, preferably at a race track.

2021 Lightweight Naked Bike Shootout Smackdown Comparo Review

Mon, 27 Sep 2021

BMW G310R vs Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 vs Kawasaki Z400 vs KTM Duke 390 vs Yamaha MT-03 You know what they say: It’s more fun to ride a slow motorcycle fast than a fast motorcycle slow. Yet another example of conventional wisdom baloney. It’s actually more fun to ride a fast bike fast, or even a medium-fast one.

Trizzle's thoughts, now in video form. Photos by Joseph Agustin | Videos by Ray Gauger and Sean Matic The definition of a sport-touring motorcycle has gotten a bit blurred lately with adventure-touring bikes encroaching on the space. A good bike in either genre agrees that you need to be able to pound out miles and do it in relative comfort.
