Yamaha Road Star description
1999 Yamaha XV1600 Road StarAre you ready to rumble?With a cubic capacity greater than that of some cars (1602cc) the Yamaha XV1600A¿¿¿s massive, pushrod V-twin mill delivers an outrageous 134.3nm of torque at 2250rpm. It¿¿¿s a sea of grunt that almost renders your gear shifter obsolete ¿¿¿ pick a gear, any gear, roll on the throttle and feel Road Star¿¿¿s trade mark, shoulder-yanking grunt. It¿¿¿s what you get from 98 cubic inches of monster motorcycle powerplant ¿¿¿ an artful merging of traditional cruiser design principles and up to the minute technology. Hydraulic valve lifters and smooth-riding belt drive meet high-tech cylinder plating and Mikuni carb with throttle position sensor, coasting enricher & accelerator pump. And believe us, when it¿¿¿s attached to an XV1600, the term ¿¿¿accelerator¿¿¿ pump is used advisedly! Road Star has the show to match the go. Gleaming bodywork and classic styled, deep-valanced fenders, making it a feast of feel and smooth flowing lines. The cockpit layout is relaxed and comfortable, with wide, backswept handlebars on rubber-mountings, and floating floorboards. Handling is stable, neutral and confidence-inspiring, thanks to a rigid, double cradle frame, beefy, brushed-steel fork and quality Bilstein shock, while powerful, triple disc brakes bring speeds down in a controlled and easy manner.

The problem with electric bikes...
Mon, 11 Jun 2012This weekend sees the running of the most famous car race of them all, the Le Mans 24hrs, and to be a driver of one of the front-running cars has got to be fairly high on the list of jobs that will make ladies swoon. Speed, danger, noise, fame, physical fitness and lots and lots of money, the key elements of any top-line race series, tend to ensure that its star competitors manage to appear cool. But the latest press picture from Yamaha – publicising the firm's link with (Yamaha shareholder) Toyota's Le Mans effort – manages to strip away every last shred of of swagger from the team's drivers by plonking them on Yamaha EC-03 electric scooters.
Brammo Earns Seventh Place Against Gas Bikes
Mon, 06 May 2013This past weekend, Brammo arrived to Sonoma Raceway in Central California ready to do battle. Only this time the electric sportbike manufacturer would be trading blows not with other electric bikes, but with their ICE counterparts at the second round of the American Federation of Motorcyclists series — one of the oldest club racing organizations in the country. We recently mentioned Brammo’s eligibility with AFM, and this weekend was the first outing. Team Icon Brammo and its two riders Eric Bostrom and Steve Atlas competed on the Empulse RR machines while third rider, Shelina Moreda, rode the Team Parker Brammo Empulse TTX — a modified version of the road-legal Empulse.
Rossi 'training' at his MotoRanch
Mon, 30 Jan 2012Like Kenny Roberts, Valentino Rossi has got his own ranch where he has built his own private motocross track and dirt oval. The above YouTube video shows Rossi training on the flat-track circuit that makes up his 'MotoRanch' located near his home town of Tavullia. He's shown riding a Yamaha, but that's probably because Ducati don't have themselves a scrambler.
