Yamaha YZ description

1983 Yamaha YZ 125K in excellent running condition.  I purchased this bike two years ago in original condition to race in vintage motocross races here in Florida.  I have had a blast racing it and have been fairly successful, frequently finishing in first or second in the 1980-1985 Open Class (all cc size bikes).  I now want to purchase a pre 1975 vintage motocross bike.  As you can see in the pictures, I use aftermarket number plates when I race as the originals are rare.  The aftermarket plates are not included with the bike.

1983 was a great year for the YZ 125.  Yamaha had figured out water-cooled engines by this point, as well as '83 being the first year for Yamaha Power Valve, which helps with low end torque as well as top end speed.

As I mentioned earlier, I bought this bike as an original survivor.  All plastics are OEM Yamaha that have been polished.  I get a ton of compliments regarding them.  The front fender is NOS, as this is the only piece of plastic that is still readily available. 

I have had all the following done to the bike since owning it.  All engine work professionally done by a vintage motorcycle shop here in Jacksonville, FL.  

-New top and bottom end to include cylinder bore, new piston and ring, and new crank and bearings.  Less than 5 hours. This alone cost $1500
-Complete Carburetor disassembly with cleaning and rejetting
-New original Reed Valves
-New water impeller with water seal
-All new engine gaskets
-Front forks and rear monoshock rebuilt
-New front and rear Michelin XC intermediate terrain tires with new tubes and rim locks
-New O-ring Chain 
-New Front and Rear Sprockets
-New Front Brake Cable
-New Air Filter

I do not have a title for it.  Ebay made me put something.

My Cadburys Boost YZF 750 comes back to life.

Sat, 01 Sep 2012

After winning my 3rd BSB title in 1998, as an end of season bonus, Yamaha UK kindly handed over my beloved Cadburys Boost YZF 750. There were three of these ex factory bikes in Rob Mac’s team; one went to me, the big man still has one, and the third was sold for a sum that was never disclosed. I had three cracking years on this special machine battling against team mates Whitham, Walker and Hislop and breaking most lap records along the way. The hard charging Bayliss, Reynolds and Rymer were also thrown into the mix on occasions just to make life even more interesting.

New Delhi Auto Expo 2012 – Motorcycle Manufacturers Draw Battle Lines for World’s Second Largest Market

Mon, 09 Jan 2012

In past years, the biennial Auto Expo in India slipped under the radar while the industry was focused more on shows such as EICMA in Italy and Intermot in Germany. But with India’s middle class starting to flex its financial muscle while other markets continue to struggle, the New Delhi show is becoming much more prominent, with major OEMs positioning themselves to claim a piece of the India’s 13 million vehicles-a-year market. We’ve already looked at India-produced Royal Enfield’s new Thunderbird 500 and Hero Moto’s hybrid scooter concept which debuted at the Auto Expo, and today we’ll look at what the major international OEMs presented.

Last week, we wrote about retired Formula One racer Michael Schumacher taking part in a track day at France’s Paul Ricard circuit on a Ducati 1199 Panigale. The event’s sponsor, Monster Energy, has released a video offering a behind-the-scenes look at the event. The seven-time F1 champion was joined by TT racer John McGuinness, retired MotoGP racer Randy Momola, Moto2 racer Pol Espargaro and Keith Flint, a musician from the group Prodigy and a racer in the U.K.’s  Hottrax Endurance Championship.
