Yamaha Other description

I am a YDS3C fan, and thought that when I retired I would enjoy restoring many of these. Well, grandchildren and old age to funny things to garage shop ambition.
What I have here is a matching numbers, titled, complete bike ready for restoration. When I acquired this bike a decade ago what drew me to it was that it was complete, straight, has a great gas tank, ( inside is clean, outside is straight, one badge is super and  it alone is worth $100 in ebay), beautiful speedometer/odometer, with keys, and  motor does not appear to have been tampered with. Now the downside is that the original owner's solution to fix some things was a bit awkward. The end of the shifter  shaft was damaged and he welded a bolt head on to the end and fastened his own idea of a shift lever. As the bike sat and aged the kick starter lost it's ability to kick the engine over. This motor will have to be disassembled anyway to do a proper restoration, and these internal engine parts are easily sourced. 
I  am willing to hold the bike for 30 days in order to help the buyer arrange shipping.

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

We’re just over two weeks into the new year which means it’s time for MotoGP teams to start the promotional push for their 2013 MotoGP programs. Ducati is set to reveal its Desmosedici GP13 today at its annual Wrooom ski event with Ferrari‘s Formula One team later today, but Yamaha has gotten the jump on its Italian rival by releasing new photographs and a video of ex-Ducati rider Valentino Rossi and reigning World Champion Jorge Lorenzo. Also revealed is the 2013 Yamaha M1, though the racebike is shrouded in graphical overlays of its pilots and devoid of any sponsor logos including the newly signed supporter Monster Energy.

Valentino Rossi Test Drives Kyle Busch’s NASCAR Toyota Camry

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The morning after riding his Yamaha M1 to a sixth-place finish at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, nine-time Grand Prix World Champion Valentino Rossi landed in Charlotte, N.C., to race around another track; only this time there were no right turns. (UPDATED with additional photos.) Rossi met up with NASCAR racer and fellow Monster Energy-sponsored athlete Kyle Busch to ride Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Busch, winner of the last three Nationwide Series races, gave Rossi a walkaround of his car before taking the Yamaha factory rider around a few laps of the Charlotte  Motor Speedway 1.5-mile oval.
