Yamaha XS description

This gorgeous XS 850 Special has only 5700 Miles and has been stored indoors its entire life! It's in beautiful condition, even the seat is original! Starts right up and runs great using either the kick or electric start.  I have refreshed the oil, forks have been rebuilt with new seals and oil, the carbs have been clean, brakes refreshed and rebuilt, cables replaced and a brand new AGM battery. It's registered till next year and has a clean CA title in hand. If I were going to put this back on the road I would definitely consider new tires and would perhaps upgrade the brake pads, though everything does work as it should and there are no modifications whatsoever to this bike. Very clean inside and out. Zero rust to be found even the inside of the tank is spotless. Please feel free to call me, Patrick, at 916-834-6415 if you have any questions about this sweet bike. I was thinking about making it into a cafe racer, but I figured with it being in such immaculate shape it might be better off in someones collection than for me to take the knife to it. Perfect example of a bulletproof powerful triple that is ready to hit the road. I am happy to assist the buyer with arranging shipping, but it will be at the buyer's expense. I have had a perfect track record using the site U-Ship so that is a good place to go if you've never had to move a bike.

    The horrendous reality of restoring a 'classic'

    Tue, 31 Aug 2010

    It was with much excitement – displaced or not – that my freshly rebuilt 1976 SR500 Yamaha fired into life at the second kick this weekend. I say second kick. It was actually the thirty second kick – thirty of those spent frothing up a heady sweat until I realised the main fuel pipe was kinked to buggery.

    French Moto Website Anticipates Versys 1000 at EICMA 2011

    Mon, 24 Oct 2011

    Musings of a liter-size engined Kawasaki Versys have circulated the web for a few years now, as loyalists of the likable Versys 650, as well as displacement-driven riders waiting in the wings, have pondered the potential of a more powerful adventure bike from Kawasaki that’s in the same league as BMW’s R1200GS and Yamaha’s Super Tenere. Alas, nothing of the sort has ever left the lips of Kawasaki, let alone go into production. Recently, however, the French motorcycle website, Moto-net.com, has produced convincing images that appear like photos of a complete Versys 1000, including matching hard luggage.
