Yamaha Other description

For sale is the motorcycle of your dreams. I bought it in May of this year, new from the dealership. It was so new, it had never had oil in it, despite being last year's model. I bought it for $8400, and I've put over $800 of upgrades into it. Last week, I estimated that I get 55 miles-per-gallon. It has less than 3,000 mis (somewhere around 2500, but hey, I'm still riding it on the warm days until it sells!)Click it into 1st, and feel the torque throw your head back as you approach the speed limit in seconds as the 942 CCs of fuel-injected power make the hair on your chest grow. Talk the little lady into going with you and she will enjoy the ride also. Take it up and around Horsetooth. Lean forward a little on the handle bars, and swing with the curves. The exhaust isn't Harley-stupid-obnoxious loud, but it is music to your ears as you roar away from the green lamps with a low, throaty burble. At the next red light, pull up to that Harley and watch him rev his engine to keep it from stalling while yours steadily pounds with the heartbeat of an athlete at rest. Pushrods?!? That is sooo 1938, Harley! Overhead cams are where it is at if you don't want to rebuild the engine every 40k.I'm asking for just the loan buyout amount so I can get out from under the loan, so it will fall in price every month.The upgrades are:Clevver Clutch lever: the friction point is now right at your finger tips as soon as you let go.Mustang seats: WAY better than the stock seat, which was like sitting on the toilet too long!Jel-net cushion: Cools your bum on hot summer days. The Harley shop has the nerve to as $100 for this!Ergonomic grips: What vibration??Viper Removable Windscreen: Turn two thumbscrews, and it slides right off for that James Dean look.Saddleman removable (zip off) PVC saddle bags: Pretty roomy for all those groceries the wife sent you out for.K&N air filter: Ran smoother the day I installed it!Mobile 1 VOLT-twin Synthetic oil: change it once a year, not three times.Phone holder/charger: also holds a GPS.Sissy bar and luggage rack: For her and her purse!I'll bet I'll be posting this well into Springtime next year, and the price will go down to match the payoff. However, if this looks like your dream-bike, bring some cash and try it out!$7600 now, call with questions. Local sales only (or local pickup), and respond with your name in texts or emails. I'll only give out my address if you are on your way over.

AMA Sportbike: 2012 Daytona 200 Results

Tue, 20 Mar 2012

The 2012 Daytona 200 delivered another fairy-tale finish with underdog privateer Joey Pascarella and the Project 1 Atlanta team fending off a pack of three other racers to win by a slim 0.048 second margin. Competing in just his first Daytona 200, 19-year-old Pascarella from Victorville, Calif., held the lead for 41 out of 57 laps to finish first ahead of a last year’s winner Jason DiSalvo while Cameron Beaubier squeezed by 2010 Daytona Sportbike Champion Martin Cardenas in a photo-finish to take third. For the Project 1 Atlanta team, the win marked a dramatic turnaround from a let down in 2011.

We don’t know if this is a case of a guilty man going free or of a braggart facing trial for something he didn’t do. Either way, Randy Scott, 26, was found not guilty of a Trans-Canada Highway run at 299 km/h in April 2012. The viral YouTube video of a Yamaha R1 rider weaving in and out of traffic was used by police to track down Scott with the help of a concerned neighbor’s tip.
