Yamaha Other description

1970(?) HS-1 90cc twin. As is where is. No title. A project I'll never get to. I have ridden it and it was about like you'd expect from a 90cc. I was gonna make chambers and give it the true cafe treatment but life got in the way. It will need a full rebuild. It has been sitting and I am sure the carbs are gummy. There are two other issues you need to know about: 1) Someone tossed a chain and popped a nice chunk off the LH case right where the shift drum boss is. It weeps oil from there when it's running and the oil is bathing the gearbox. HOWEVER...The wound is above the oil line and it can be used as is if you just want to fart around on it until you get to the repair. Cases are almost always on eBay for $50-$100. 2) Some issue with the charging system. I suspect a ground from a worn wire. Won't charge battery and so it sputters when the battery gets flat (won't fire the coils). Chrome is pitty. Tank looks like it may have been lined. Couple dents. I can send more pics if you want. I'll help load but shipping is buyer's thing. Cash or wells fargo cashiers check on pickup.  919-819-4950

Rumor: Yamaha Developing Inline Three Roadster

Wed, 25 Jan 2012

French motorcycle outlet Moto Revue reports Yamaha is developing a new three-cylinder middleweight. Citing an internal Yamaha document, Moto Revue reports the new naked model will feature an inline Triple engine, aluminum perimeter frame, upside-down fork and a triple-pipe exhaust like the MV Agusta F3 and Brutale 675. Yamaha has produced a Triple before, offering the XS750 from 1976-1979 before replacing it with the XS850 in 1980 and 1981 (pictured above is the 1981 Yamaha XS850.) The potential new model is still likely to be years away, so its look is yet to be determined, though Moto Revue does have a rendering that borrows some of the design elements from the FZ8.

Jefferies' TT V&M R1 for sale

Tue, 26 Apr 2011

We got a tip-off about a former David Jefferies TT R1 for sale on eBay. The owner says it's from the 1998 TT but I'm pretty sure it was the one he raced in 1999. Here's a little bit more background about the V&M TT effort in 1999: In 1990 Jack Valentine gave up racing to concentrate on running V&M Racing, and after being sacked by Honda at the end of the 1998 season, the team set about to do some giant killing.

2013 AMA Superbike Daytona Race Report

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The story leading up to the opening round of the 2013 AMA Pro National Guard Superbike season was whether anyone would be able to keep up with defending champion Josh Hayes. After all, the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha rider dominated the competition last season winning 16 of 20 races including a string of 10 in a row. The season-opening round at Daytona International Speedway appeared to start on script with Hayes qualifying in pole position.
