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.

Max Biaggi loses the plot . . and very nearly his teeth !

Tue, 29 Mar 2011

I’ve just got back from Donington Park and the second round of the World Superbike championship. The racing was exciting, going off without a hitch, and the weather was unseasonably kind, but the meeting will be remembered by those in the fairly close knit WSB paddock for reasons other than the temperature or the race results. It’ll be remembered by most, especially those who witnessed it, as the meeting where Max Biaggi finally lost his already feeble grip on reality.
