Yamaha XS description

 Up for auction is my 1978 Yamaha XS650 Bobber build. Matching frame and engine numbers. Clear title. Starts, runs and stops well. I am the third owner of this well maintained bike. I did all of the build off of the original XS650 Special. I have owned the motorcycle for 3 years. When I bought it the mileage read 23,000 miles. I have put approximately 100 miles on it. The after market speedometer reads 91 miles. Many new aftermarket parts have been installed including Pamco Ignition (no points to adjust), Anti-Gravity lithium battery, completely replaced old Yamaha wiring harness with new after market minimal wiring and fuse box, 34MM Mikuni Carburetors, Biltwell Seat, TC Bros handlebars and foot pegs, new Low Brow customs ignition switch, new grips, cables and controls, new front brake master cylinder, new copper painted headlight and bobber style rear tail light/license plate mount. Low miles on new Firestone tires. Electric or kick start. I replaced the #4 starter gear and spring that are the cause of the notorious grinding starter, and she starts easily due to the Pamco ignition. This is a rider NOT A SHOW BIKE, although it did win "Best Bike" at a local builders bike show June 11, 2016! The Sportster tank has a small dent on right side near the top but retains the factory paint job. The frame paint, and wheels are rattle can but look good because I prepared the surfaces  and primed them properly. The rear brake is a little spongy but works fine. I have a brand new rear master cylinder that has not been installed included in sale. This bike is a blast to ride and a head turner. Questions are welcome and I have video of the bike running and being ridden.

It was a very early start for the Rally Dakar. The pack of riders headed off at four in the morning on a long 251 miles that took them towards the vibrant city of Rosario for the start of the 112 mile special.

WSBK 2013: Moscow Race Report

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Marco Melandri captured his third win of the season, the Ducati 1199 Panigale scored its first podium while Sylvain Guintoli regained the championship lead despite dislocating his collarbone days before the race. But the big news at Moscow Raceway of course was the tragic death of Andrea Antonelli in the World Supersport race. The opening-lap crash in severely wet conditions naturally led to the cancellation of the rest of the events as the World Superbike community mourns the loss of the 25-year-old Antonelli.
