Yamaha Other description

A very recent paint job and a complete overhaul/restoration befitting a bike that already logged 25 years in a toy store of a private collector.There is not a speck of dirt on this bike and to my knowledge the only aftermarket parts on this bike are the mirrors.There is a small tiny scrape on the tip of the fender.Evidence of use in a past life.The tachometer is in need of a rebuild but it still functions.Both gauges look great and it is evident that this bike has a few years spent indoors in the air conditioning.The seat appears to be original but i am not sure of this history.There is a small tear at the underside of the seat pan that can,t be seen without raising the seat.No big deal but i want full disclosure.The tool kit is not with this bike.New cables and new brakes were installed and the tires are new as well with less than a hundred miles on them.This bike is too fun to leave sitting.It did get ridden but never enough.The low miles on it is evidence of the limited use of this beautiful gem from our past.There is a small ding on the right side pipe.I will show the ding in the pictures.these pipes have a small spot here and there but you have to hunt to find a flaw on them.they are in great condition and have cleaned up very nice.No rust anywhere on this bike anywhere ever.The frame and engine numbers match for all of you investors and collectors out there.This bike is a very nice example of a rd from our childhoods.It is perfect in my opinion but you need to look for yourself.Ask questions.Everything works.We do not sell garbage! I price them fair.The work is already done on this one.Fly in and ride it home.If you would like more pics or need to talk feel free to contact me.

Suzuka Eight Hour capers

Mon, 05 Sep 2011

Chatting to TT legend John McGuiness recently about his first Suzuka Eight Hour experience got me thinking of a few capers the boys and me managed a few years back at what is still Japan's most important race of the season. It is a unique event that starts at 11am and finishes at 7pm making  it a pukka endurance race as the last hour is run with headlights on in the dark. It is essentially an eight hour sprint that showcases the trickest endurance machinery and manufacturer’s sales can be affected the following year depending on who wins or loses.

Pedrosa, Marquez, Bradl Talk About Racing, Motorcycles, And Each Other

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

In order to use footage from a Dorna-sanctioned MotoGP test session — say, for marketing or promotional reasons — a team must receive approval from Dorna. The process is tedious, and even if permission is granted, there are strict limitations as to what the material may or may not be used for. So when Honda decided to conduct its own private test (which Yamaha also joined), at the Circuit of the Americas, it was free from any and all Dorna mandates.

GSX-R600 and CBR250R the glass is half full

Wed, 13 Oct 2010

Suzuki’s GSX-R600 might not look that much different to the outgoing model but I suspect this bike could be very much a dark horse in 2011. I say this because two years ago I was definitely not building my hopes up en route to the K9 GSXR 1000 launch. The leaked pictures suggested the biggest change from the 2007 version would be some fresh graphics but I was so wrong.  As it turned out, I was greeted in Almeria with a brand new bike, built from the tarmac up and it proved to be more than a match in every department for the much hyped 2009 Yamaha R1.
