Yamaha XS description
1973 Yamaha TX 650. Kick and electric start. I installed a Pamco ignition and hi output coil, bike starts w/ one kick hot or cold. Original mufflers sound great and are in fine condition. I picked this bike up 3 yrs ago and did an over the winter restoration to it. I installed a second disc up front with Spiegler braided brake hoses, new master cylinder and pads. New oring chain and sprockets, clutch actuator and cable. Carbs and petcocks have been rebuilt, new throttle cables and grips. All electric work proper and the charging system is great. I had the seat reupholstered and new foam put on. I did the tapered steering head bearings and the bronze swingarm bushings. The motor has never been apart to my knowledge and the compression is great with no leaks on or under the engine. The original speedometer was replaced after I got it and the actual mileage is closer to 18k than what the present speedo shows. The paint is all original and looks great except for one small chipped area near the fuel cap and some fading on the left side near the Yamaha badge. The tires are at about 70% of life left on them. This has been an original VT bike and thus the mileage is pretty low. The bike runs great but I have other projects and no time to ride right now. I'd like to see someone use it and not have it sit in my garage all winter. I will need a 10% deposit on the winning bid and the bike must be picked up or shipped within 10 days.

Yard Built XV950 Pure Sports Channels the Yamaha FZ750
Tue, 29 Apr 2014The latest product Yamaha Motor Europe’s Yard Built custom specials is a Star Bolt transformed into a replica of an FZ750. Dubbed the XV950 Pure Sports after the words written on the original FZ750′s fairing, the project was produced by Italy’s LowRide magazine and Radikal Chopper and styling by Oberdan Bezzi. The Star Bolt – known in Europe as the XV950 – is nearly unrecognizable in this new guise, except for its 942cc V-Twin engine.
Bonhams To Sell Garelli Grand Prix Collection At No Reserve
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Mark your calendars for February 5 and 6, 2013, as those are the dates when Bonhams — one of the world’s largest auctioneers of fine arts and antiques — will put for sale two motorcycle collections which include some incredibly rare and historic machines. The Grand Palais in Paris, France will play host to the auction, which includes the entire Garelli Grand Prix collection as its headliner. Founded in 1919, many famous Italian racers got their starts on Garelli motorcycles.
You want a nice little car, you do.
Wed, 08 Sep 2010We ran a couple of stories last week - both, coincidentally, about new Kawasakis. One was the first peek of the new ZX10R – hot stuff you’d imagine – the other, the new W800 retro parallel twin. I suppose it shouldn’t have shocked us, which story was most popular in terms of hits but it really does mark a seismic shifts in British biking attitudes that the W800 story doubled the hits of the ZX10 piece.
