Yamaha XS description

Letting go of my 1981 Yamaha XS650 Cafe Racer...

All black, runs great!! Engine and carbs professionally rebuilt by certified Yamaha service in Houston, TX less than a year ago, only ~150 miles ridden since!

-Stock tank
-Sportbike front end (rim/fork/triple tree/brakes from 2000 GSXR)
-BRAND NEW front tire (~50 miles on it), LIGHT USED rear tire (~150 miles)
-Custom seat pan and seat
-Clip-on handlebars
-All engine seals replaced about a year ago when engine was rebuilt

I'll throw in a free bike cover (2 months old)!

Ridden in the San Francisco Distinguished Gentleman's Ride and got ALOT of compliments! This bike definitely stands out as is, but is also a great opportunity to make it your own!

Sad to part with my super fun toy, and I hope it brings as a big a smile on your face as it does on mine!

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips.  Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment.  Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions.  Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.

2024 Yamaha MT-09 Review – First Ride

Tue, 14 May 2024

More minor changes in anticipation of the R9 Photos by Joseph Agustine. There really wasn’t a reason to update Yamaha’s MT-09. We love the MT-09, and apparently you do too – it’s been Yamaha’s best-selling MT model for a decade.
