Yamaha YZF-R description
03 Yamaha R1 Raven Edition Street Fighter. She was chosen by Yamaha North America as one of ten bikes to compete in the "Custom Showdown" and to be on display at MotoGP Indy 2012. She was also voted "Fighter of the Month" March 2012 on customfighters.com Bike turns heads and is always fun at bike night. I rode it less than a week ago and she starts and runs perfectly. I did notice the front brake pull feels long and it probably needs pads. I always get compliments when I ride it things like "That looks like batman's bike" or "is that a monster?" I usually say something like "no and it has twice the power of a monster" I am the second owner of the bike and bought it stock and is currently registered in Florida. Highlights are: Custom sub-frame Custom all aluminum tail Custom saddle Custom Triple with Vrod Night Rod headlight Toggle ignition(lock cylinder and key switch deleted) External wiring moved inboard Short exhaust with internal glass wrapped drag baffle Semigloss black paint job Aluminum coolant catch can Custom water-jetted LED tail lights(no turn signals) Shorty style adjustable clutch and brake levers Misc parts anodized black(rear set brackets, etc) Titanium header So that's the good. The bad: No key or lock cylinder, bike uses a toggle switch. Not set up to carry passenger. Paint has normal signs of use with misc scuffs/marks but no dents or dings. Tires are 100% worn and will need replacement. Please feel free to ask questions or if you'd like specific photos. Buyer is responsible for all shipping/packaging, I will not ship but am willing to help drop the bike off at a local(less than 30 miles from 33155) freight forwarder. I have the title in hand and will include it with the bike.

Japan Needs Your Help
Thu, 17 Mar 2011By now, we’ve all seen pictures and video of the devastation in Japan following the March 11 earthquake and the ensuing tsunamis. Japan, of course, has contributed much to motorcycling, with the Big Four of Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, as well as tire manufacturer Bridgestone, helmet companies Arai and Shoei and many other motorcycle industry stalwarts all coming from the Land of the Rising Sun. Jon Bekefy and Greg Hatton, two motorcycle enthusiasts, industry employees and above all, humanitarians, have set up a fundraising campaign benefiting the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan.
BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates
Tue, 03 Jan 2012In 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.
Best Helmet Designs from the 2009 MotoGP Season
Thu, 22 Oct 2009Unlike with most athletes, motorcycle racers’ faces remain hidden during competition. Except for promotional events or pre- and post-race interviews, the faces of our racing heroes are shielded under protective helmets with tinted visors. You don’t see the same human emotion in their faces like you can when soccer players score a goal or baseball players hit a home run.
