Yamaha Other description
1981 Yamaha SR185H Exciter. Runs well. Excellent commuter bike for work or school.
Currently owned by a parish priest in his mid-50's.
Odometer says 18K miles, but is inaccurate, as I replaced the instrument
console after the original speedometer quit working at the same time
the speedo cable broke. It actually has about 9K miles, or a bit less. I got this as a barn find and fixed it up to ride myself. I'm selling because I bought an older BMW R850R to ride instead so that I can ride long distances on the interstate..
Make an bid as I need to move it off the porch of the Parish House!
Has a LOT of totally new stuff:
>New dual-purpose tires & tubes
>New brakes front & Back
>New sprockets & chain (front sprocket changed from 14T to 16T for highway riding)
>New headlight bulb
>New stock-sized carburetor jets
>New speedometer cable
>New OEM seatcover
>New side covers, (one OEM, one aftermarket)
>Tank has been sealed with POR-15
Here's the not-so-great: Tank needs paint job and has a light dent on the left side. (See photos) Fuel cap has surface
pitting in the chrome. New side covers are blue, but the rest of the bike is
red. Side covers could use new mounting grommets. Forks have surface rust up high on the tubes. Forks have very slight bend from my letting an idiot test ride it who
rode it right into the back bumper of my truck, and then dropped the
bike and got in his car and took off. (That's also why the price was reduced from the $995 asking price before). (New
fork tubes from Forking by Frank are about $140, although these are very useable)
SO, if you intend to bid, please do not come to pick it up and expecting to take a test ride if you do not have a
current driver's license WITH a motorcycle endorsement: that just won't
happen. There also will be no test rides without the deposit being made. I've learned my lesson on that one!

Greg Tracy to Ride Amarok P1A Electric Sportbike for Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Canada’s Amarok Racing has secured quite a coup in signing six-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner Greg Tracy to ride its P1A electric superbike for the 2013 edition of the event. Tracy has six class victories in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, winning in 1996, 1999, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010. His victories have come riding motorcycles from several manufacturers: Honda, Yamaha, BMW and, more recently, Ducati.

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new
Mon, 25 Mar 2013THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place. Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series. Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing). The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!
