Yamaha XS description

1974 Yamaha XS650. Clear Illinois title in hand, titled as 1974 Yamaha so insurance is cheap and can be registered as antique automobile based on year. Motorcycle features Custom Built frame with stock Yamaha neck. 43 degree rake and minimal drop seat. Top end of motor rebuilt about 400 or so miles ago. Bike has been featured in Dice Magazine issue #24 Built by Troy Critchlow of Seattle WA. Bike is extremely fun to ride and comfortable. Feels like a powerful BMX bike once you get going. Previous owner / builder had ridden this bike from Seattle to San Diego. I personally have ridden this bike around Baja Mexico for 5 days in 2011 and featured in the Biltwell Inc El Diablo Run Movie. No longer get to ride this as much as I should so it's time for someone else to enjoy it. Motor is completely stock. Dual Mikuni carbs, Firestone BiasPly repop tires. Have never had any problems and starts on first 3-4 kicks. Straight pipes without baffles in the exhaust. Please feel free to ask any questions.

2015 Yamaha FZ-07 Announced for Canada

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Yamaha announced it would import the MT-07 to Canada as the 2015 FZ-07. Until now, the twin-cylinder roadster had only been announced for Europe as the MT-07; there is no word the FZ-07 will be offered in the U.S., but the Canadian announcement is a good sign it may be coming soon. Revealed at EICMA, the FZ-07 slots in under the three-cylinder FZ-09 (known as the MT-09 outside of the North America) with a newly-developed liquid-cooled 689cc parallel-Twin engine.
