1979 Yamaha YZ (1979)
Here is the story on this bike: I’m 62 years old. I retired from my job a few years ago. I thought that I might try a little post-vintage racing. My wife and I recently went to a race and, while we were watching, we saw a +70 rider take a dirt nap in the first turn. My wife turned to me and said, “See that! You always used to land on your head when you crashed. I think you’ve had enough concussions from the last time you tried motorcycle racing.” To which I replied, “What’s your name, again?” (True story) So, here is my would-be post-vintage racer for sale. It is a 1979 YZ 250. I have owned this bike for a number of years, and only ridden up and down my driveway a couple of times (Making the video made three times.). I put a new piston and ring in it when I got it, and replaced a lot of parts. It has been sitting in my garage since then. Here is a partial list of the new parts: New Fork Seals, New Fork Wipers, New Front Tire, New Front Fender, New Pro Taper Handlebars, New Front Brake Cable, New Throttle Cable, New Clutch Cable, New Front Brake Lever, New Clutch Lever, New Grips, New Piston and Rings (less than an hour on the new top end), New Front Number Plate, New Side Panels, New Rear Fender, New Rear Tire, New Air Filter, New Wide Footpegs. The frame and cases were painted with automotive urethane based paint (it won’t peel off when gas is spilled on it). Hubs were painted with black enamel. The bike also has an after-market pipe, and a period correct DG silencer. The wheels are in good condition as is the suspension. The graphic on the tank is probably as old as the bike and has more wear and ripples than are evident in the photos. The bike is fast (too fast for me), and ready to race. (To see the bike running, check out the Youtube video: https://youtu.be/VIS0qvww_iw Video was taken the day before I listed the bike.) As with most bikes this age, there is no title--Bill of Sale only. Although I have tried to accurately represent this motorcycle, it is almost 40 years old, and I make no guarantees as to performance or durability. Bike is in Carlton, Oregon (a little south-west of Portland). Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will gladly hand the bike over to your shipper at his convenience since I am home most days.2016-08-07 04:50:45Carlton, Oregon, United States110000 -

1979 Yamaha YZ (1979)
1979 Yamaha YZ400 Winner of 2005 AHRMA National Championship Formerly owned by the late Mike Owens, who used it to win the 2005 AHRMA Historic 500cc Expert Championship in Post-Vintage Motocross. After its title-winning days, the bike went on static display in Owens' extensive collection of vintage dirt bikes, while he turned his attention to the Legends & Heroes Motocross Museum. In race-prepped condition, with top-end work by Boyko Racing and suspension rebuilt by DeWayne Jones, the YZ has been in a private collection since Owens' passing in 2015, and remains unridden. It should need only a simple recommissioning to be track-ready once more. Mileage is obviously low, though the exact amount is unknown.2016-10-27 04:43:10Santa Ana, California, United States1005000 -

2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP Review – First Ride
Wed, 28 Aug 2024Better suspension and Track mode brings us so close to an R9 Photos by Dave Schelske As the tail rider in a train of approximately seven identical Yamahas, I couldn’t help but watch in awe as each of us weaved our way through the notorious Tail of the Dragon, bending the bike underneath us to our will through the 120-something corners, the unison of the dance mesmerizing as each of us took our turn, one by one, around each apex, at irresponsible speeds, front wheels inches away from the person in front of us. This is the kind of trust you build up after you’ve ridden with the same group of people for years on end. We all know that riding with your friends is fun.

Wed, 13 Dec 2023Small updates keep the T7 fresh, but we're still missing out on the European variants Photos by Yamaha/Joseph Agustin Photo Yamaha’s popular Ténéré 700 “T7” adventure bike returns for 2024, and while it would be easy to say it is “largely unchanged” from the 2023 model, there have been some notable changes made in response to feedback from many North American riders. One wish still unrealized: the U.S. dealers won’t be getting the up-spec World Raid and numerous other versions of the T7 the EU enjoys - at least not this year.

2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Review
Thu, 17 Aug 2023Riding 950 miles across three states in two days highlights this Tracer’s capabilities Photography by Joseph Augustin New motorcycle model introductions follow a well-worn path: travel to the event location, eat nice meals, get briefed on the bike of the moment, ride a route designed to highlight the bike’s strengths, take photos/video, eat more good food, return home, and write up a review. After 27 years in this industry, I still get a cheap thrill about throwing a leg over a new motorcycle before it is available to the general public. However, what really gets me going is when I have a chance to log more than just the couple of hundred miles typically covered in an intro and spend some real time on the road with said bike.
2023 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Review – First Ride
Thu, 18 May 2023Yamaha’s sports tourer middleweight receives an influx of technology for 2023 Astute readers are probably wondering why Motorcycle.com is publishing a First Ride of a bike that’s not coming to the States this model year. Our reasoning is that, thanks to the sleuthing of Dennis Chung, we suspect the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ will be coming to the U.S. in 2024.
Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Finally Coming to US for 2024
Thu, 06 Apr 2023Sport-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.
Yamaha MT-10 SP Project Bike - Update 1
Thu, 26 Jan 2023Everythings installed and initial impressions. It’s been about a month since we introduced Motorcycle.com’s 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP semi-long-term project bike. In case you forgot the premise of this whole thing, Yamaha offered us the opportunity to hang on to an MT-10 SP for an extended period of time, and since I have a soft spot for the bike, I decided to give it some tasteful upgrades to address some key weaknesses while also unleashing some trapped potential.
