Yamaha YZF-R description
This is a 2001 Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat. I have owned this bike since 2005; was my first street motorcycle. I'm going to be completely honest and say that as of now the bike does not run. The last time this bike was ridden was summer 2011. At that time the bike ran excellent, and since then has been garage kept. After I added two Harleys to my collection I never found time to get back on this, so it has went 5 years without being started. There is no battery, the engine would need refreshed with new fluids and carbs cleaned obviously, and a new fuel line would probably be necessary. The body plastic has some cracks as I have shown in the pictures but the paint is still bright and the frame/chassis is in fantastic shape. Tires have 70% tread left. The motorcycle has only 7,431 miles on it and to be honest I need to get it out of my garage so somebody can get some use out of it. This motorcycle would be great for a first time bike or a small project bike; wouldn't take much money into this bike to make it nearly new. It does have a 520 chain conversion kit, 1 down (front sprocket) 3 up (rear sprocket). Feel free to ask any questions, no reasonable offer will be refused. Pick up locally or arrange for shipping. If price is right I would consider traveling up to 3 hours from me to meet. For sale locally, so can end any time. Thanks for looking.

Recall for 2011 Yamaha FJR1300
Mon, 11 Jul 2011Yamaha is initiating a recall campaign the 2011 FJR1300, just a week after a separate recall for the 2006-2009 versions of the sport touring motorcycle. Like the earlier campaign, the recall for the 2011 Yamaha FJR1300 is for an electrical issue, this time for the brake lights. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, brake light on affected units may not illuminate when the front brake lever is applied because the activating mechanism in the brake switch can bind.
Think You’re a Smooth Rider? Yamaha’s SmartRiding App Will Prove It
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Yamaha has released a new app that records and evaluates riding habits. The free Yamaha SmartRiding app (available now in the App store) uses the Apple devices sensors to measure basic telemetry to evaluate how smoothly you handle curves. The app requires the device to be firmly fixed to the motorcycle in either a vertical or horizontal arrangement (the app is compatible with iPhones, iPods and iPads, though I’m not sure how many people will mount a tablet to their motorcycle).
1999 Yamaha YZF-R1: 165-miles
Wed, 05 Dec 2012This is what auctioneers would call an 'investment grade vehicle'. I'd call it a bit of a waste. This 1999 Yamaha YZF-R1 has only covered 165-miles since new, that's an average of 12.6 miles a year..
