Yamaha XT description

1 . . . . These YAMAHA 500 SINGLE Cylinder FOUR-Stroke models carried quite a history since the very first ones in 1976. It was the start of several new models in Yamaha's lineup with the Off-Road only version called the TT500 and the Street only version called the SR500. All of them had the same torquey 500 "THUMPER" engine that had such great low end torque when matched up with the two-stroke rivals. This one was a very reliable power plant and reasonable weight conscious for cycles in that era.

This particular vehicle was purchased from the original YAMAHA dealer in Sturgeon Bay and serviced there as well.  It has always been kept inside and prepped for storage early in the fall.  It has had it's recent oil and filter change and tune-up.  The silencer end of the original exhaust muffler was upgraded to a newer style that no longer has a problem with rusting out, but still looks great and sounds original.  All of the rest of the original components are still on this cycle.  I don't have a better way of explaining how nice and trustworthy this cycle really is except to say that you will just have to make it yours and be the happy new owner.  I only decided to sell it due to some health issues; otherwise would have no thoughts of ever selling it.  For any questions please feel free to call (920)495-7686 from 7:00am to 5:00pm.

An Island tour with a legend

Fri, 17 Sep 2010

What you are watching is a highlight of Mike Hailwood's segment from the racing documentary Take it to the Limit - A Motorcycle Odyssey. The Yamaha - built by the extraordinary Kel Carruthers - that Hailwood is riding in the clip featured a unique frame with the camera housed within. The voice-over recording provided by Hailwood was done by taping a small mic to the bottom of his lip so he could dictate his guide to the 37.73 mile route.

Yamaha Reveals 2014 MotoGP Livery

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Earlier this month, we reported on the partnership between Yamaha and Movistar that would place the Spanish telecommunications company as title sponsor for the Yamaha MotoGP team for the next five years. The deal came at the eleventh hour, as contract negotiations and minor details needed to be sorted. Now, just days before the start of the 2014 season at the Grand Prix of Qatar, Yamaha has revealed its official 2014 MotoGP livery.
