Yamaha Other description

 The bad , and it ain't all that bad.  Paint on rear master cylinder is gone....brake fluid has a way of doing that.  No biggie to refinish.
Pipes are in very good condition , a couple little dings from being ridden. Re chrome for show or ride as it is.
Fenders are good to very good. the front could stand a re-plating to make it perfect , but it isn't pitted or dinged up.
The finish ?  It is what it is........I didn't do it.
The John Deere paint scheme was done by the previous owner and it is a better than fair job.
It would be no big deal to have the tank and side covers squirted and apply original decals if you covet the original look.
Top end was done by the previous owner and this little bugger goes like a two stroke twin should.
very quick for it's era and a pure joy to ride.
I will be happy to work with buyer on shipping.........I can crate the bike and deliver to a freight broker or trucking company of your choice for domestic or international sales.
I will have to charge actual material costs and mileage to crate and deliver , and that will run in the 125.00 neighborhood.
Pick up is cool , the bike is in St. Paul , Mn. , and I would drive a reasonable distance to deliver , again for mileage.

Unique Sounds of the New Yamaha R1

Tue, 06 Jan 2009

When Yamaha announced its new R1 literbike last fall, company reps told us about the tractability assets of its new, MotoGP-derived crossplane crankshaft for the four-cylinder engine. It’s unique in that cylinders fire 90-degrees apart, allegedly enabling better grip during acceleration. A byproduct of this design is an exhaust note that is distinctive in this world of cookie-cutter designs.

AMA Supercross: 2012 New Orleans Results

Mon, 16 Apr 2012

Ryan Villopoto has already secured the 2012 AMA Supercross Championship but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to let up and take it easy over the remainder of the season. The Monster Energy Kawasaki racer clinched his second consecutive title two weeks ago in Houston, Texas, but he continued his dominance in AMA Supercross’ return to New Orleans’ Superdome, taking the holeshot and leading all 20 laps for his ninth win of the season in 14 rounds. The New Orleans round may have lacked some big names currently nursing injuries such as Ryan Dungey, James Stewart and Chad Reed, but Villopoto provided a star effort in the first AMA Supercross race in the city since 2009.

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.
