Yamaha XS description

Selling my complete custom Yamaha. This is a 1979 bike that only the engine and the front half of the frame is original. I have completely remade the rear half of the frame and the swingarm with my own design to fit the massive 240mm rear tire. I fabricated the front numberplate out of sheet metal, the headlight is frenched into it. The front forks are 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R as are the calipers and master cylinder. The front wheel is a 19" and the rear is an 18". The gas tank is from a Honda CB175, the seat is from a 2006 Harley Sportster, the rear shock is from a 2009 Buell 1125R, the pegs are from a Yamaha WR250. The tail section was hand fabricated by me out of sheet metal, the rear lights are LEDs. I also fabricated the exhaust and the battery box. This bike is kick start only, the starter hole has been blocked off permanently, but it's not a tough bike to kick over. The paint is a custom blend with some pearl in it, it looks amazing in person. This is a beautiful bike, quite fun to ride and definitely gets the looks. I have the clear title in my name for it, it's registered as a 2008 assembled vehicle using the original XS VIN. This is NOT a reconstructed title, it's a perfectly clear title in my name ready to be signed over. If you are from the Oregon area I just re-upped the registration so it's good for the next two years. The bike does not use a rear brake, just the dual discs in the front, believe me, it's plenty. The engine is pretty much stock other than the exhaust. I took the top end apart and changed the rings and put new seals in the engine, runs great, very reliable. I've remade this bike a few times now, this is my latest version and I think it's my best. It's a beautiful bike and a blast to ride. Shame to let it go, but I need to thin my motorcycle herd. This bike is worth every penny of what I'm asking for it. I know this bike front to back, if you have any questions about things I haven't covered feel free to ask.

Magneti Marelli to Supply Electronics System to MotoGP Teams

Wed, 26 Sep 2012

It’s no secret that promoter Dorna Motorsports has been trying to push a standardized electronics control unit for teams in the MotoGP World Championship. The lack of a top-tier electronics package has been one of the biggest challenges faced by MotoGP’s claiming rule teams, and a spec ECU would narrow the gap between the CRT bikes and the factory prototypes. The manufacturers competing in the series, Honda, Ducati and Yamaha, understandably are resistant to the idea considering the effort they’ve put in to develop their electronics systems.
