Yamaha Other description

2002 Yamaha Vmax 1200, You know what the Vmax is. I'm going to stick with the history and the extras. I am the 2nd owner of this maxx. I bought it with 450 miles on it from a guy that had 12 bikes. I laid the bike down in 2006. The rear of the bike took a lot of damage requiring the entire back end rebuilt including the frame and the swing arm. The work was performed by Yamaha. The bike has custom carbon fiber from MEK. The side covers, top cover, and rear fender have all been replaced. The front fender was never replaced, I had always intended to but never got around to it. The carbon fiber is beautiful but the process is done by hand and there are some imperfections. It reduced the bike weight by a few pounds, I don't know exactly how much. The rear shocks are works performance and were rebuilt after the accident. The front forks had Works upgraded spings. The bike handles much better than a stock maxx. The rear shocks alone are $1000. The rearsets are also from MEK. The posture is more aggressive. You will not find many Vmaxs with these rear sets. The bike has a few yamaha upgrades: a frame brace, the windshield, and the corbin seat which has a couple of small rips in it where the thumbscrews go. It's in decent shape, but not excellent. The bike also has stage 1 jetting, k&n air filter, and a 4-2-1 titanium exhaust from Hindle. It's a great sounding exhaust and a real nice performance combination. I'm not riding this bike as much as I'd like. It's a time thing for one, but also I have other toys. I did a lot of soul searching to list this and the fact is I won't be disappointed if I remain the owner. The price is firm, please don't waste your time or mine... serious inquiries only. Thank you for looking! $5,400.00

Back in the day, the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba

Fri, 24 Jun 2011

This ‘you tube’ gem sent to me recently brought back some funny memories from the scary but incredibly exciting days of 500cc two stroke racing. This particular race was the final round of the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba Circuit where I enjoyed a head to head battle with national hero Tadahiko Taira. Yamaha’s favourite son at the time, ‘tie wrap’ as we liked to call him, was taller and better looking than most Japanese riders (maybe a war baby?) and went on to win nearly everything in Japan during his career.

Ben Spies Video Interview on 2012 MotoGP Season [Video]

Thu, 22 Mar 2012

Yamaha Factory Racing today posted on its YouTube page a video interview with Ben “Elbowz” Spies, in which Spies discusses the soon to start 2012 season of MotoGP. In his usual calm, cool and under control manner Spies speaks frankly on how he prefers the 1000cc GP machine, saying it suits his style (elbows out!) better than the previous seasons’ 800cc bikes because the extra torque and horsepower of the liter-class bikes are, essentially, better matched to his physical stature. Spies also answers honestly the question of who he thinks he needs to keep an eye in 2012, including his teammate, Jorge Lorenzo.
