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.

Yamaha Unveils 2012 MotoGP Livery – Massive Gallery and Video

Thu, 22 Mar 2012

Yamaha has pulled the covers off the 2012 edition of its YZR-M1, the machines which racers Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies will ride to compete in the 2012 MotoGP World Championship. While last year’s M1 was predominantly blue, the new 1000cc version of the M1 sports more white paint with wide bands of Yamaha blue on the front fairing and along the side, flowing along the line of the seat. Like most MotoGP squads, Yamaha doesn’t want to be too specific about its MotoGP bike’s potential, estimating the power output from the crossplane crankshaft engine at over 240 hp.
