Yamaha R5 description

I have for sale my fully restored 1972 Yamaha R5 for sale. This is a fairly rare motorcycle, made for three years. This is the precursor to the Yamaha RD350. This is a very unique 350cc two stroke, and is quite fun to ride. 

Specifics:
• Frame off rebuild
• Frame repaint
• All body panels/tank repainted blue (non-original, but very nice)
• All original badging
• All chrome fully polished including wheels
• Forks/drum brakes polished as well
• New battery
• New foam, and seat cover with passenger strap
• New tires with about 150 miles
• New wheel bearings
• New chain
• NOS rear sprocket
• Fully rebuilt carbs
• Engine was disassembled and all crank seals were replaced. Internals were in great shape
• New plugs
• New coils from HVC cycle

There may be a few specifics I'm forgetting at this point; however, this bike has been fully gone through and works great.

I found this in a pile of boxes a little over a year ago, and it was my full intention to enjoy restoring this beauty, and putting it up for sale - and my fiance is making sure I stick to the original plan.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions - 330-321-8664 or jbows51@gmail.com. I am at the moment installing new coils, as the originals just didn't cut it.

Thanks!

Around here, it’s no secret we’re fans of the Yamaha FZ-09 (MT-09 for those reading this outside the U.S.). It’s a great do-it-all motorcycle, and for $7990 it’s a great value, too. Apparently, Mark Toia is well aware of how useful the FZ-09 can be as well.

Last Year’s Surprise Podium Finisher Katsuyuki Nakasuga to Wild Card at Japanese GP

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Katsuyuki Nakasuga, the surprise podium finisher at last year’s MotoGP finale in Valencia, will have the chance to catch lightning in a bottle once again, after being granted a wild card entry to the 2013 Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi. Nakasuga shocked the racing world with a second-place finish at the Valencian Grand Prix last November as an injury replacement for then-Yamaha factory rider Ben Spies. Nakasuga made the cagey decision to run slick tires in the wet race.
