Yamaha IT490 description

Bought both of these bikes with many extra parts from the previous owner who was going to restore them but lost interest. Had both bikes running briefly in the shop, but never put fuel in the tanks or rode them. Both transmission static shift through the gears. Have strong spark and great compression. Both frames appear straight as well as the wheels. The 1984 is the one with the yellow fork gators and has a clear title. All new plastics. Tank was repainted by the previous owner. New decals. Previous owner stated that he touched up small areas on the frame and covers, but was a clean bike to begin with. Has a DG pipe and silencer. The 1983 is the bike with the black fork gators. No title. Tank is discolored from fuel. Plastics look to be original in good condition. A few small cracks on the side panels. Bike appears mostly stock and complete. Trip knob is missing and so is the bottom throttle housing.
$1,700 for the 1984 and $1,500 for the 1983. I also have many extra used parts - cylinder, carb, transmission, complete clutch, plastics, frame, forks, swing arm, triple trees, rear shock, seat, stock and DG silincers. Brand new parts include - clutch, bottom end kit, fuel valve, kick start shaft/spring, shifter shaft, gasket sets, rubber dampeners, seals, stainless steal bolt cover set, kill switch and others.
Will be willing to sell the extra parts with the bikes for an additional price.
Buyer to pay and arrange for shipping. May be able to help find a shipper. Deposit required through Paypal within 48 hours. Bike is for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction early.

Kenny Roberts Motorcycle Collection Up For Sale

Wed, 25 Apr 2012

Motorcycling legend Kenny Roberts has commissioned RMD Motors to auction off some rare and exclusive motorcycles from his collection, presumably to make room for more. The Japan-based company is known the world over for its collection of rare and classic motorcycles for sale, many of which are retired grand prix machines fortunate enough to escape the fate of most decommissioned racebikes: the crusher. Headlining the Roberts collection is the 2004 Proton KRV5 originally ridden by Kurtis Roberts, King Kenny’s youngest son. The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.

Yamaha Star Bolt Café Photos from Tokyo Motor Show

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We received some positive feedback on our Google+ page when we first wrote about Yamaha‘s Star Bolt Café prototype, so we thought we’d share some new photos Yamaha released from the Tokyo Motor Show. Yamaha has made it clear the Bolt Café is only a reference model to showcase the customization potential of the Bolt. At its heart remains the Bolt’s 942cc V-Twin engine and double-cradle frame.
