Yamaha V Star description

I purchased this bike in November of 2014 and have put just about 3,800 miles on it. I have maintained it very well including getting all recommended servicing. It has been garage kept (with a cover too) and I have used a trickle charger in the winter to keep the battery in good condition. Two major alterations have been the changing of the front sprocket from a 16 tooth to a 17 tooth and dropping the rear from 45 teeth to 43 to increase the stock gearing which was far too low. The bike now rides much better and even gets increased fuel mileage (I've achieved over 90mpg). Here is what you will get with this purchase:

1) 2014 Yamaha V-Star 250 in Pearl White w/ sprocket upgrades
2) Original sprockets
3) Bike cover
4) Trickle charger
5) USB connector (this is already wired up so you can use your phone for GPS, etc)
6) Cell phone mount
7) Handlebar clock

All the specifications for the bike are below. It's a great starter bike for a new rider but I highly recommend it for anyone. I'm selling it to pursue my true life calling: aviation, and I'll be sad to see it go. EMAIL ME so I can provide you with a review I did over a year ago on the bike. Lots of close up high def video of the bike including exhaust sound, test ride, etc. 

The title is currently with the bank whom I'm financing with just so you know. 

Asking price: $3,200 obo

Yamaha Files Trademark Application for FJ-09

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Yamaha‘s next three-cylinder motorcycle may be a sport-tourer, if a recently-filed trademark application is any indication. The Tuning Fork brand filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the name “FJ-09” as it applies to “Motorcycles, scooters, three-wheeled scooters and structural parts for all the aforesaid goods.” Following Yamaha’s usual naming conventions, the signs indicate the trademark will be for a new sport-touring model using the same Triple as the FZ-09. Yamaha has made it clear it plans to introduce more three-cylinder engines following the FZ-09 (or MT-09, as it is known in Europe.) Previously-filed trademark applications for the YZF-R3 and R3 names raised speculation the next triple would be a sportbike, but as per Yamaha’s usual naming convention, the “3″ in R3 is likelier to refer to the engine displacement rather than the number of cylinders.

Rossi Makes Progress but Hayden Suffers Shoulder Setback

Wed, 01 Feb 2012

Ducati continues to develop its Desmosedici GP12 MotoGP race bike, setting modest goals while trying to establish a good setup. Already trailing the other factory teams in development time for its race prototypes, Ducati continued to try to find good base settings for the GP12. Valentino Rossi achieved the team’s goal of lapping under two minutes and two seconds with a time of 2:01.886 while completing 44 laps on the second day of testing at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit.

MotoGP to Re-Visit Rookie Rule

Tue, 19 Jun 2012

MotoGP organizers are re-opening discussion for the series’ rookie rule which prevents new riders from entering the series with factory teams. Introduced following the 2009 MotoGP season, the rule was designed to give satellite teams the chance to field young up-and-coming talents  they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to sign. The theory was the rule would protect the satellite teams and spread out the talent pool.
