Yamaha XT description

I am selling my 1980 Yamaha XT 250 (yeah, same model Rambo rode). I recently got a TW200 and it's time to depart with the trusty XT! When I got the bike (only a few hundred miles ago) it had been sitting so it has a new set of rings, fresh valve job, valves freshly adjusted (10 miles ago), cam chain retensioned, fuel filter added, tank treatment added, new Renthal chain and sprockets, new engine bolts (All Allen head), and new front brakes, tire, and inner tube. The tire and brakes are *not* shown in the pictures (taken before I installed it), but it is a Shinko SR244 tire which is very popular for dual sport riding! I run the the same tire on my TW and love it! The carb has recently been rebuilt with a new boot, accelerator pump diaphragm, and gaskets. The bike runs AMAZING! Kicks over in any weather with one kick and you can snap the throttle wide open from any speed once the engine is warm. It really pains me to see the bike go. It's massively reliable, surprisingly powerful, and very nimble in all situations. Cosmetically, the paint is faded, but very good condition given the age. The tank has ONE minor ding, but otherwise in great shape. Really is a fine example of one of the greatest Yamaha dual sports every made! I am somewhat firm on the price, but make me an offer and see what we can work out! Two keys included!  Clear Colorado title!! Street legal!!!!

Unique Sounds of the New Yamaha R1

Tue, 06 Jan 2009

When Yamaha announced its new R1 literbike last fall, company reps told us about the tractability assets of its new, MotoGP-derived crossplane crankshaft for the four-cylinder engine. It’s unique in that cylinders fire 90-degrees apart, allegedly enabling better grip during acceleration. A byproduct of this design is an exhaust note that is distinctive in this world of cookie-cutter designs.

MotoGP Teams Complete First Sepang Pre-Season Test

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Preparations for the 2014 MotoGP Championship are well underway, with the first pre-season test at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit complete. As the first test of the year, we shouldn’t take too much stock into the results, but they do provide a basis for later comparison. Reigning World Champion Marc Marquez was the fastest rider on all three days of the Sepang test.
