Yamaha XS description

 1981 YAMAHA XS850 SPECIAL


This 1981 Yamaha XS850 Special starts right up and runs good. It shifts through all the gears smoothly and everything works as it should. Overall the bike is in good condition, but not perfect. There is some rust, scratches, and typical wear. The bike was repainted at some point in the past and looks decent but certainly not factory quality. Some of the paint is faded and dull (see photos). The tires are newer and in great condition with about 75% of tread left. The bike has a king & queen seat with backrest and crash bar with highway pegs. By no means is this a perfect motorcycle, but it is a solid bike that runs good and looks decent.

  • Runs good, shifts through all gears smoothly

Rich Oliver’s Mystery School Still Has Open Dates

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Many roadracing champions will tell you that training in the dirt has helped them immensely in becoming the best rider they can be. The drastically reduced grip in the dirt makes a rider feel more comfortable on the street when one or both tires start slipping. At the Rich Oliver’s Mystery School, five-time 250cc champion, Rich Oliver, will teach you how to gain confidence on two wheels, all from the controls of a TTR125 Yamaha.

The new Yamaha Tenere is preparing to debut

Sun, 30 Jul 2017

The next-generation 689cc touring enduro is almost ready. The bike, magnificent in its conciseness and Dakar functionality, is a kind of preview of the future SUV that will replace the XT660Z Tenere. The rival of the BMW F800 GS/F 800 GS Adventure and the promising KTM 790 Adventure borrowed the 689cc inline-two from the Yamaha MT-07 and XSR700 (on these bikes it develops 74.8 hp and 68 Nm).
