Yamaha XS description

This bike has the three main ingredients of a bobber project.  1. Runs strong (and loud) with a strong clutch/transmission. 2. Drives straight on a strong frame with very good tires. 3. Has a clear title.  Starts right up.  


If you want to restore it, it can be done but: dent in tank, rear fender bent, seat cover is shot, turn signals, mirrors, mufflers, one side cover missing.  The front master cylinder will need a rebuild kit.  There are quick connectors here/there.  Speed/tach works.  Starter works.

If you really want to restore it I have a nice tank, turn signals and intake case, master cylinder from an 1981 650 we can make a deal.

These Yamaha twins make the best custom bikes.  They sound good and look awesome.  Just Google and you will see what I mean....

R1 noise, bike porn and a quick lap

Tue, 24 Apr 2012

Trawling the internet for a sound clip of the Crossplane Crank Yamaha R1 on full chatter, I came across this: a few fast laps on board with New Zealand Superbike racer Tony Rees as he works the CABS Throttle Blipper on his 2011 R1. (Skip to 7:35 for the fast ones.) CABS is a system used by Superbike teams that makes use of the R1’s digitally controlled throttle. When you change up a gear, the bike blips in the perfect amount of revs to save time on track and make downshifts as quick and easy as clutch-less upshifts.
