Yamaha V Star description

2005 Yamaha V Star 1100 Custom , Here's your chance to own an awesome cruiser!! I'm selling because my wife is 7 months pregnant and unfortunately, it's time to put biking on hold. This is really a great bike with some excellent modifications and extras. I'm very sorry to part with it, but I'll be happy to give it a new home that will treat it well. I purchased this bike new in 2005 at Fun Bike Center and it has always been in the garage when not being ridden. There are only 11,000 miles on this bike and half of those are from long distance riding up the Cali coast. Tags are paid through November, 2013. $1000s worth of modifications and extras included with your purchase: - Hard Krome long exhaust pipes - these have a deep throaty roar and sound great! - Thick drag bars (almost straight handlebars) for that stretched out cruiser look - Factory jet kit with K&N air filter plus - Tear drop air filter cover with flames to match the tank - Steel braided brake and clutch lines - Electrical lines hidden inside handlebars - Forward chrome foot pegs (to relax on long rides) with matching chrome passenger pegs - Granucci slim profile leather seat - Gel seat pad for longer rides - this kept me comfortable on a 7 day, 1,700 mile ride! - National Cycle Switchblade removable windshield (pictured off bike) - Kuryakyn ISO flame design hand grips with ISO Throttle Boss - Chrome brake fluid cover with flames to match the tank - Yamaha back roast and luggage rack (pictured off bike) - Silver neck covers (around key hole) which give it a chromed-out look,/li> - Full set of luggage including: large Tourmaster sissy bar bag, Cortech tank bag, and Cortech saddle bags - Chrome clock that fits over the handle bar bolt - easy viewing while riding - All Yamaha labeling removed which included another small piece of chrome - the stock part had 'Yamaha' engraved on it. The only labeling is the logo (not name) on the speedometer. - Battery Tender trickle charger - All stock parts also included! - One minor issue and an otherwise perfect bike - The tail light cover is cracked. The light still works. I haven't bothered to fix it, but you can purchase the replacement part for under $20 like item #200954543431 on ebay. Please send any questions and I will be quick to answer. I'm also happy to provide more pictures if you want to see specific parts of the bike. I'll be home all weekend for showings. Call/text at 858-922-9188. $4,500.00 8589229188

As an eighteen year old Kenny Roberts was my bike racing God.  I loved Barry Sheene but as a Yamaha FS1E rider I always wanted the little American to win simply because his bike resembled mine.  The coverage of Grand Prix in the late seventies was sketchy but I clearly remember watching the epic Sheene/Roberts battle unfold at the Silverstone GP on my council estate telly.  The Dutchman, Wil Hartog was hanging in there for a while but as the laps unfolded it became a two way battle with Sheene looking favourite to win.  Sheene lost the most time as the pair lapped a certain George Fogarty so my hero Roberts eventually won by just three hundredths of a second.  I’m not sure what happened next but being a Sunday we would no doubt be skidding around later in the day at the Pines chippie pretending to be Roberts and Sheene.  Fast forward thirty four years and a boyhood fantasy came true as I headed out on Chris Wilson’s 1980 Roberts machine for the Barry Sheene tribute laps at last weekend’s Moto GP.  It crackled into life instantly and felt as sharp as any of the more modern 500s I used to race.  The temperature gauge had a maximum marker on 60 degrees so to begin with I was nervous as it didn’t move but being a hot day (although still keeping my hand on the clutch) I convinced myself it wasn’t working.    The bike felt tiny, not helped by the fact I only just squeezed into my 1989 Marlboro Yamaha leathers.  It still felt rapid though as I played out the 1979 classic in my head while getting tucked in down the Hanger straight.  Steve Parrish was also out there on one of Barry’s 500cc Heron Suzukis so we did our best to copy the famous last lap at Woodcote Corner where Sheene came so close to winning his home GP. As a lad I would have said the chances of me riding round Silverstone on a GP winning Kenny Roberts machine were zero, but in the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true!

The horrendous reality of restoring a 'classic'

Tue, 31 Aug 2010

It was with much excitement – displaced or not – that my freshly rebuilt 1976 SR500 Yamaha fired into life at the second kick this weekend. I say second kick. It was actually the thirty second kick – thirty of those spent frothing up a heady sweat until I realised the main fuel pipe was kinked to buggery.
