Yamaha XS description

 1978 Yamaha XS500. Ready to ride! Pictures speak for themselves. Lots of work done so it is ready to go. Everything works including electric start. Has Supertrapp mufflers which sound awesome. Includes original taillight assembly to return to stock. Has the factory oil filter conversion so filters are easy and inexpensive to replace.  Bike needs nothing to ride.

These bikes are similar to the XS650 but know to handle better and are lighter. I like the look of them too. This was the last and best year of the 500's.

New parts include:

-Fresh full synthetic oil change and filter
-New tires
-Mike's XS new fuel petcocks, lines, and filters
-Seat slightly modified and recovered
-New taillight/brake assembly

I am sure there is more that I am missing. Let me know if you have any questions.

Bike is for sale locally.  I have the right to end auction at any item as long as there are no open offers pending through Ebay.  Thanks!

For just $120,000, you too can be the owner of a special piece of motorcycling history. Up for grabs on eBay is the 1973 Yamaha TZ750 that started it all. Claimed by the current owner to be the test mule of none other than Kel Carruthers in 1973, this TZ carries the number #409-100001. Yamaha Works GP rider Sadeo Asami cared for the motorcycle for much of its racing life until it was returned to Yamaha USA where it was destined for the crusher.

Happy 50th Hizzy

Wed, 11 Jan 2012

On the 11th January 1962, Steve Hislop was born in Hawick, Scotland. Today would have been his 50th birthday, but he was tragically killed in a helicopter accident in 2003. Hizzy was a genius on a motorbike and when he was happy with everything around him, he was amongst the best in the world.

Yamaha TCROSS. This was a TMAX

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Great looking girl, crazy bike. This TCROSS started life as a T-Max but it was given to a former motorcycle designer and former MotoGP mecahanic to turn it into something unique as part of Yamaha's Hypermodified series. They've certainly managed to make it unique.
