Yamaha Other description

I have a 1981 Yamaha XS850 Midnight Special For Sale. This bike would be awesome for a collector or Vintage Japanese enthusiast. It has 22,000mis on it. All original. Very clean bike. Runs good, has fresh rubber and fluids changed every year. Also comes with original owners manual, clymer, a three into 1 pipe and the center stand (the spring wore out so I took it off) I use to ride this bike on the daily. The only reason I am selling is because I bought a Harley and could use the space now. I wanted to keep it, but it does me no good sitting in the garage. I hate to see it just sit when it would make an awesome bike for anyone. Anymore questions, text and come out and see it. Make me an offer. Serious offers can ride but need to see cash before.

Yamaha MT-10 SP Project Bike - Update 1

Thu, 26 Jan 2023

Everythings installed and initial impressions. It’s been about a month since we introduced Motorcycle.com’s 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP semi-long-term project bike. In case you forgot the premise of this whole thing, Yamaha offered us the opportunity to hang on to an MT-10 SP for an extended period of time, and since I have a soft spot for the bike, I decided to give it some tasteful upgrades to address some key weaknesses while also unleashing some trapped potential.

Retirement is rife but thankfully not for Vale

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

The racing season may be over but the winter nights will surely fly by as we watch reviews, debate events of 2012 racing and relish the excitement that lays ahead in 2013. Unfortunately retirement seems to be popular right now so with major names leaving BSB, WSB and Moto GP things will never quite be the same. I’m still in shock that Casey Stoner has decided to head back home for a spot of fishing.

An Island tour with a legend

Fri, 17 Sep 2010

What you are watching is a highlight of Mike Hailwood's segment from the racing documentary Take it to the Limit - A Motorcycle Odyssey. The Yamaha - built by the extraordinary Kel Carruthers - that Hailwood is riding in the clip featured a unique frame with the camera housed within. The voice-over recording provided by Hailwood was done by taping a small mic to the bottom of his lip so he could dictate his guide to the 37.73 mile route.
