Yamaha V Star description

You are looking at a 2003 Yamaha V-Star Classic with a 650cc engine. Model number XVS65A. It is purple in color with gray accent striping and lots of chrome. Purchased in April 2013 as a starter bike. I believe that I am the third owner. Phenomenal gas mileage and easy to ride. Flawless performance, just time for me to move up to the 2006 Harley-Davidson Street Bob I have sitting in my garage.New PA state inspection valid until August 31, 2014. Passed with flying colors. Front disc brakes at 6/32", and rear drum brakes at 5/32". Front Bridgestone tire with 3/32" tread, and rear Metzeler tire with 9/32" tread. Carburetors have recently been cleaned, and new NGK spark plugs will be installed before sale. There is some light scuffing on the rear fender where the passenger pillion pre-owned to sit; I'm going to try to buff most of this out, but in any case, it won't be noticeable should you choose to install a new passenger pillion. They're available for about $50 or so through eBay, and I can help you source 1 if desired. There is a small area of some residue on 1 of the exhaust pipes, but I am going to try to buff that off as well. Chrome is in wonderful shape, as is most of the paint with the exception of the defects I've mentioned.Blue Book retail value $2,900, Blue Book trade-in value $1,965. Willing to sell for $2,400 with universal saddlebags and Memphis shades windshield included and installed, or best credible offer.Additional photos available upon request.

Wayne Rainey to Appear at Misano for First Time Since Career-Ending Crash

Tue, 30 Aug 2011

Wayne Rainey will return to the Misano circuit for the first time since he suffered a career-ending crash that left him paralyzed from the chest down. The Sept. 5, 1993 crash at the circuit then-known as the Circuito Internazionale Santamonica brought a sudden end to what had been an incredibly successful Grand Prix racing career.

Shawn Higbee Wins On The Brough Superior Taylor Made Racing Moto2

Thu, 01 May 2014

In only its second race appearance, the Brough Superior Taylor Made Racing Moto2 bike competed in the WERA F1 and B Superbike events on April 27th at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, California, run in conjunction with the first round of the GEICO Superbike Shootout, presented by Yamaha. During the F1 race, rider Shawn Higbee moved up to as high as 2nd place from a 5th row start on the Brough Superior TMRGP2 bike.  The TMRGP2′s lightweight all carbon fiber chassis and 600cc Honda powerplant demonstrated impressive cornering speed on the tight infield sections but could not match the top speed of the heavily modified 1000cc F1 bikes on the long straights. On the last lap Higbee was shuffled back to 4th place at the finish line.

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.
