Yamaha Other description

The bike has been gone through completely.  Everything works as it should.  We took it down to the frame.  Just about every part was either sandblasted or prepped with a wire wheel before being primed and repainted.  We lowered the ride height by lowering the front shocks and replacing the rear shock – it’s a simple swap with no cutting of the frame - lowers the ride height by about 2.5 inches.  Can be restored to original ride height very easily.  Currently has 4311 miles - may go up a few miles.

New Delhi Auto Expo 2012 – Motorcycle Manufacturers Draw Battle Lines for World’s Second Largest Market

Mon, 09 Jan 2012

In past years, the biennial Auto Expo in India slipped under the radar while the industry was focused more on shows such as EICMA in Italy and Intermot in Germany.

We’ve already looked at India-produced Royal Enfield’s new Thunderbird 500 and Hero Moto’s hybrid scooter concept which debuted at the Auto Expo, and today we’ll look at what the major international OEMs presented.
