1996 Harley Davidson FXSTC Softail Custom (1996)
NO RESERVE AUCTION!!! This bike is an absolute showstopper and has won every show I’ve entered it in. It turns heads everywhere and will have every mechanic at the Harley dealer dropping wrenches and walking off their rack to check the bike out when it’s in for routine fluid service. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer, cleaner, better running EVO. This bike was bought here in Tucson at Tucson Harley Davidson 17 years ago by me. It only has 15K miles on it and I put them all on except for about 500 miles. Save the pictures to your computer and then zoom in on all of them. I will also be loading a video of the bike in a day or two. The bike has never broke down, never been run hard, never seen bad weather, only has been in the rain once in 17 years and that was only a light sprinkle for about 5 minutes. The bike is detailed before and after all rides and has never been stored/parked outside overnight anywhere in its life. The engine is solid with no knocks, no smoke, and pulls hard. All fluids have been changed by the dealer or me every 1,500 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Battery on tender under light cover with bike up on bike lift with wheels off ground when not being ridden. One winter when I thought it was too cold out (dropped into the 40’s outside and 60’s in the garage) I brought the bike into the house and it stayed in the kitchen until the temps came back up to the 70’s. Momma supported and understood. I’ll try to list all the farkles below, but undoubtedly will forget something so be sure to ask any and all questions before bidding as the first bidder if not out bidded will take it home. Yes, I know the KBB value and the fair market value of a ’96 FXSTC from most of the bike websites and here on eBay. Those prices are nowhere near the $21K I paid for it in 1996 and the numerous $K’s I put into it over the years. I also know these bikes just simply will never pull that kind of money. As such, I’m starting the bid at a very very fair price and I ask you compare this bike with others a couple years older and newer and I think you’ll agree. I built the bike with a specific look in mind. Although the bike has drag bars, a shift light, and Hooker Headers, I assure you it has not been beat or run hard. The shift light was part of the theme I was looking for and I run a 3.8 pill in it (3,800 RPM shift point). I usually shift before that, but always shift if the light comes on. Redline is around 5K so I’m well under any redline concerns. I’ve run Vance and Hines Straight Shots and Long Shots and I’ve run a White Bros E pipe before I settled on the Hooker pipe. In my opinion, the Hooker FourBidden pipe is the best looking pipe for this bike, it is without a doubt the best pulling pipe, and definitely the absolute best sounding pipe. It is a very loud pipe so don’t be buying this to impress law enforcement. I have never run the pipe without the baffle in it. I have no idea how loud it would be with the baffle out. All other pipes I’ve had there was a sacrifice somewhere. With the Hooker there is no sacrifice. It performs everywhere and looks great too. The bike also has what I consider one of the best must do mods and that’s a CV tuned and jetted Carb from Killer M/C Products. This carb has awesome performance everywhere and is maintenance free. The rake of the bike coupled with the lowering kit, bar set-up, and forward controls make this bike handle amazing.

Is the bike 100% showroom perfect…no, it’s 17 years old and has a few minor age flaws. Is the bike in outstanding condition and ready to ride, take to a local show, or wow your friends… absolutely. Please contact me with any questions. I will not ship the bike but I will assist in shipping. I’m not interested in trades of any kind so please don’t ask. I’m not willing to sell the bike for next to nothing so don’t ask that either. If you’re wondering if this is the kind of bike you can take home to momma… yes, she’ll approve. As for getting this bike into your kitchen or bedroom when it’s cold outside… you’re on your own on that one. Thanks for looking and ride safe.2013-09-04 07:51:25Vail, Arizona, US15,6556,499.00

2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP Review – First Ride
Wed, 28 Aug 2024Better suspension and Track mode brings us so close to an R9 Photos by Dave Schelske As the tail rider in a train of approximately seven identical Yamahas, I couldn’t help but watch in awe as each of us weaved our way through the notorious Tail of the Dragon, bending the bike underneath us to our will through the 120-something corners, the unison of the dance mesmerizing as each of us took our turn, one by one, around each apex, at irresponsible speeds, front wheels inches away from the person in front of us. This is the kind of trust you build up after you’ve ridden with the same group of people for years on end. We all know that riding with your friends is fun.

Wed, 13 Dec 2023Small updates keep the T7 fresh, but we're still missing out on the European variants Photos by Yamaha/Joseph Agustin Photo Yamaha’s popular Ténéré 700 “T7” adventure bike returns for 2024, and while it would be easy to say it is “largely unchanged” from the 2023 model, there have been some notable changes made in response to feedback from many North American riders. One wish still unrealized: the U.S. dealers won’t be getting the up-spec World Raid and numerous other versions of the T7 the EU enjoys - at least not this year.

2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Review
Thu, 17 Aug 2023Riding 950 miles across three states in two days highlights this Tracer’s capabilities Photography by Joseph Augustin New motorcycle model introductions follow a well-worn path: travel to the event location, eat nice meals, get briefed on the bike of the moment, ride a route designed to highlight the bike’s strengths, take photos/video, eat more good food, return home, and write up a review. After 27 years in this industry, I still get a cheap thrill about throwing a leg over a new motorcycle before it is available to the general public. However, what really gets me going is when I have a chance to log more than just the couple of hundred miles typically covered in an intro and spend some real time on the road with said bike.
2023 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Review – First Ride
Thu, 18 May 2023Yamaha’s sports tourer middleweight receives an influx of technology for 2023 Astute readers are probably wondering why Motorcycle.com is publishing a First Ride of a bike that’s not coming to the States this model year. Our reasoning is that, thanks to the sleuthing of Dennis Chung, we suspect the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ will be coming to the U.S. in 2024.
