Yamaha Other description

'78 Yamaha XS Eleven, 1st year E model. 24,269 original miles, "Macho" Maroon. Has owners manual, Yamaha factory service manual, and Clymer service manual, original tool kit. Original seat and Yamaha optional touring seat are both in terrific condition, no rips or tears. Brake calipers have been rebuilt, new brake pads, Russell steel braided brake lines, SuperTrapp 4-into-1 exhaust, new battery kept on a Battery Tender, 2 new tires not mounted yet but wrapped in plastic to help preserve them, new fork seals, original and aftermarket Progressive shocks. Drive shaft repacked with molybdenum grease. Fuel petcocks rebuilt, new spark plugs and wires. Runs but carbs need work, 1 or more are leaking. Have never checked valve clearance yet. A year ago the bike took a tumble off of my lift and the part of the frame where the right rear turn signal mounts is bent, as is the rear fender, and the plastic cowl behind the seat is broken. Fuel tank has some chips and scratches but no dents and inside of tank is clean. Side covers in terrific shape. Also have Samsonite style hard side bags and top case but no mounting hardware for them. Would make a good parts bike or if you have capability to straighten the bent part of the frame a good bike to finish up for riding. I bought it in 2006 from a former AMA staffer who had it stored for 18yrs. I started work on it a couple of years ago but lost interest after the tumble. Have other bikes I spend time on. Can call me at or reply to attached e-mail address.

Chad Reed won his first race of the 2012 AMA Supercross season in Los Angeles but the victory was overshadowed by a first-lap collision that left Trey Canard and Ryan Morais with broken backs. Racing for Team Honda Muscle Milk, Canard was injured on the first lap after catching a piece of some signage. That forced him to single a triple jump, putting him in the path of Star Valli Yamaha rider Ryan Morais who landed on Canard from behind.

Best Helmet Designs from the 2009 MotoGP Season

Thu, 22 Oct 2009

Unlike 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.
