Yamaha XS description

1978 Yamaha XS 1100

Clear New York State Title, 2017 Registration, Plated and Insured.

Everything has been chopped off this motorcycle, yet it still passed the NYS Inspection.

Everything works to make the motorcycle street legal and it runs.

If this is your first motorcycle, you may want to reconsider your other choices.

This Yamaha has a rigid rear end with no shocks.  However, I did install springs on the solo seat to absorb some of the impact.

Shinko tires have about 1000 gentle miles on them.

Seriously though, if you have never ridden a motorcycle before, this bike is too fast for you.

No Reserve Auction. 

I will not ship this bike anywhere.

Purchaser most arrange for pick up.

Cash at time of pick up.

BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates

Tue, 03 Jan 2012

In my opinion, the smartest move in the BSB off season has to be Michael Laverty moving from Swan Yamaha to HM Plant Honda. With a ban on electronics for 2012, and in particular traction control, WFR's Graham Gowland has already proved to Laverty how competitive an EVO spec Fireblade can be - so I’m tipping both these riders to be bang on the money at the Brands Hatch season opener in April. Unlike BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha, Honda have deliberately developed their road-going Superbike without electronics to give a user friendly feel with good mechanical traction, so it’ll be interesting to see how the opposition copes with their high-tech trickery stripped off.

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Sherco rider Alain Duclos took today’s stage, eight years after his first win in Bamako. With three top five finishes this year Duclos has proven his own increased competitiveness as well as that of the Sherco 450 Rally bike he’s aboard. In more tragic news, the body of Belgian rider, Eric Palante was found Friday morning on a part of the fifth stage route that riders completed on Thursday.
