Yamaha Other description

Up for sale is my 2009 R1. I drove this bike off the show room floor in 2010 and will cry to see it go.Bike has 2200 mis and thefollowing mods: Graves header back stainless/carbon exhaust (no cats), Kevlarcolor matched windscreen, carbon sliders, carbon rear tire hugger, integratedtaillighs/turn signals, solo seat cover, various other carbon pieces. Bike is extremely clean, but unfortunately due to anidiot driver who rear ended me dead stopped at 300 mis on the odo, it has a rebuilt title.The only damage caused was a torn rear tire and broken bolt boss on the seatsub frame. I talked the adjuster into salvaging it pretty easily because heknew the speeds these bikes are capable of and he didn't want his name onanything involved with repairing it. I did a filament string test for alignment (simpletried and true method) between front and rear tires/wheels and everything was 100% withinfactory specs. I've since had the bike to over 175mph (in Mexico of course) andabsolutely positively as stable and wobble free as it was from the factory. Theonly part I had to replace due to the accident was the rear tire. The bike didn't even go over on its side. Only oneother panel was scratched, I truly mean minimal damage involved.Please askquestions before bidding.

Kenny Roberts Motorcycle Collection Up For Sale

Wed, 25 Apr 2012

Motorcycling legend Kenny Roberts has commissioned RMD Motors to auction off some rare and exclusive motorcycles from his collection, presumably to make room for more. The Japan-based company is known the world over for its collection of rare and classic motorcycles for sale, many of which are retired grand prix machines fortunate enough to escape the fate of most decommissioned racebikes: the crusher.  Headlining the Roberts collection is the 2004 Proton KRV5 originally ridden by Kurtis Roberts, King Kenny’s youngest son. The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.

Yamaha to Cut Motorcycle Production in 2009

Thu, 26 Feb 2009

With mounting inventories coupled with a drop in demand, Yamaha will be cutting its motorcycle production in Japan by 24 percent this year or to about 260,000 total units; one newspaper reported this would be a 40-year low for the manufacture. Yamaha plans to cut production for motorcycles and other products by 30 percent in the Americas, 20 percent in Europe but will maintain production levels in Asia where demand has not dropped off. The company is forecasting its group sales to fall 22 percent with an operating loss of about $300 million.

Wood-Rotax SJ676 Grand Prix

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

Until yesterday I'd never even heard of this bike let alone seen one. I didn't know anything about it. I still don't, really but I dug up these words on the bike and thought I'd share them.
