Yamaha Other description

Nice XZ 550 Vision with the fairing. This is a good find for someone who has been looking.
When I got it a few years ago, I changed the oil, replaced the spark plugs, put new tires on it, and had the carburetor rebuilt.  I also had the recommended fix done to the starter clutch (to keep it from rattling).
Everything works.
The seat is in nice condition. Soft and no splits. Paint looks nice for the most part.  It has some blemishes mostly from being shuffled around for decades. It's never been dropped. Has never leaked a drop of anything.
Due to medical reasons, I can no longer ride it. It's been sitting a couple years and the battery is dead. 
Assume you'll need to buy one and put fresh fuel in. Also that you'll have to arrange to come and get it.  I rode it the day I parked it, so shouldn't take more than an hour or two to get it ready again.
I have the repair manual.

This thing looks like what a two wheeled '82 Trans Am would look like.
Great opportunity. These don't come up for sale often and have a cult following. They look beefier than what a 550 usually does, like to be wound up (red line is like 10,000 RPM!), and look killer with or without the fairing.

Happy to answer questions and help when picking it up.

Results From Day 1 Of Second Sepang MotoGP Test

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

With the absence of Marc Marquez from the second Sepang MotoGP test, due to a broken leg suffered in a training accident, another Honda rider took his place at the top of the time sheets, though it’s not who you might think. Alvaro Bautista on the Gresini Honda set the fastest time at the end of the first day with a 2:00.848. The time is 1.3 second slower than the fastest time Marquez set at the last Sepang test.

Simon and Leo

Thu, 11 Aug 2011

If you are a track day regular this year, you may well have bumped into former racer and friendly Kiwi, Simon Crafar. I first met him in Malaysia in 1990 when he was riding for a Yamaha dealer team, sweating his way round circuits like Shah Alam and Johor Bahru but with a long term plan to make it onto the World scene. And he didn’t take long as after riding for Honda in the UK in 1992 he moved to WSB in 1994 and enjoyed success with both the Honda and Kawasaki factory teams.
