Yamaha YZ description

Yamaha 1974 YZ 250A First year that Yamaha made the famous yz motocross bikes.
The bike starts and runs shifts thru all gears, clutch works good. Starts first or second kick most of the time, has good compression.
I do not know much history on the bike was a barn find. It had a 19 inch front wheel and flat track bars on it when i got it. I found a original front wheel for it. It is missing front brake lever and cable. The number plates are missing, has wrong muffler on it. Bike is mostly all stock i see someone put a decompression release on it probably for braking.Seat has a tear in it you can see it in one of the pictures. Tank is dent free except very small pin size ding also in a picture. Hard to find airbox is intact, fenders are not cracked but striping is coming off the rear fender. Rear shocks have damping, front forks are spongy probably oil has leaked out. It is a number matching bike! 431-001709
Please only bid if you have the funds to buy it. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements and costs.
You can reach me at 616-881-6052 or email me with questions.
I live just north of grand rapids mi close to a major expressway  US131  
This bike is not a show piece but a good survivor worthy of restoration or vintage motocross race bike
Very hard to find model only made a few of them. I have no title for it, Michigan did not issue a title for dirt bikes in 1974 just registrations, will furnish bill sale.

Motorcycle Live and a few of my favourite things for 2013

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

There is lots of shiny new metal on show at Motorcyclelive this year but for me it’s the new Triumph Daytona 675 that steals the show.  We’ve been starved of brand new models in the Supersports segment for years but for me the latest Trumpet has made the wait worthwhile. And if its performance matches its looks then I reckon the 2013 bike of the year is a foregone conclusion.  The sleek curvy nose contrasts perfectly with the more pointy angular rear end and new side mounted silencer. It is lighter, more powerful and revs harder with much work on on mass centralisation to further improve handling.  Few of us have a whole lot of spare cash these days but £8899 for the standard model seems a fair price for such an awesome bike. That said I’d have to consider selling the granny and granddad to find the extra £1700 for the 675R.  Available early next year, and surely the perfect all round track day tool, this beauty comes with upgraded suspension, brakes, ABS, a quickshifter and some nice carbon detailing. The white 675R on display at the show looked even better in the flesh than previous images I’d seen so be careful or you might find yourself handing over a deposit. With no money left from the Triumph stand you’ll need your six special numbers to come up for my second favourite show item the AGV Pista GP Project 46. Although road legal this extremely light, full carbon helmet is designed especially for racing with a huge field of vision, extensive ventilation and superb ergonomics. It also comes with earplugs which suggests there may be some compromise in the noise department but it is still an incredible piece of engineering. At £799, this special Pista is also an incredible price but there will only be one hundred available and Raceways Yamaha reckon they are going fast.        

How To Rebuild a Yamaha R6 In Under A Minute + Video

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

If you’re new to the road racing scene, you might have heard the terms “Factory” and “Privateer.” For the casual observer, you’ll notice the difference between the two ultimately comes down to money and support, as one is likely working out of the back of their van while the other is supported by an 18-wheeler. This video, shot by the Y.E.S./Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha team makes the line between the two sides clear as day. Watch as the Yamaha crew rebuilds Garrett Gerloff’s R6 from the frame up after a nasty crash with enough time to make the race.

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Pierre Karsmakers, one of the first European motocross champions to bring his expertise to America, has been elected to the AMA Motorcycle Hall Of Fame Class of 2014. A three-time motocross champion in his native Holland, Karsmakers came to the United States to gain wider exposure and attract the attention of the Japanese motorcycle makers. “All the Japanese (sponsorship) contracts were going to Belgian riders,” Karsmakers said.
