Yamaha XS description

Letting go of my 1981 Yamaha XS650 Cafe Racer...

All black, runs great!! Engine and carbs professionally rebuilt by certified Yamaha service in Houston, TX less than a year ago, only ~150 miles ridden since!

-Stock tank
-Sportbike front end (rim/fork/triple tree/brakes from 2000 GSXR)
-BRAND NEW front tire (~50 miles on it), LIGHT USED rear tire (~150 miles)
-Custom seat pan and seat
-Clip-on handlebars
-All engine seals replaced about a year ago when engine was rebuilt

I'll throw in a free bike cover (2 months old)!

Ridden in the San Francisco Distinguished Gentleman's Ride and got ALOT of compliments! This bike definitely stands out as is, but is also a great opportunity to make it your own!

Sad to part with my super fun toy, and I hope it brings as a big a smile on your face as it does on mine!

Milan Show: Moto2 tried and tested

Tue, 02 Nov 2010

The insanity of Moto2 doesn't seem like the right home for the elegance of the Rizoma brand. But the Rizoma ProGuard system has helped secure the levers of Toni Elias on his road to championship success in the inaugural Moto2 season. The example above was on an attractive Rizoma-enhanced BMW S1000RR, but the lever guards are not limited to sports bikes, they were also visible on Yamaha's FZ8.  The patented design can tilt up to 10 degrees providing full lever coverage and can be added by simply replacing the bike's existing bar-ends.

Yamaha Champions Riding School August Update

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Our friends at the Yamaha Champions Riding School have been busy lately. Since moving to New Jersey Motorsports park in April, traffic has steadily risen, with June being sold out and July not far behind. August is very promising with some new ideas (one-day clinics to bring a more economical program to a larger group of riders) being inserted into the mix as well as a normal two-day school at the end of the month, which is already 80% full thanks to the yearly visit from the engineering department of Harley Davidson. Following August YCRS will have two schools the week directly after the AMA Pro races at NJMP.

Rumor: Yamaha Developing Inline Three Roadster

Wed, 25 Jan 2012

French motorcycle outlet Moto Revue reports Yamaha is developing a new three-cylinder middleweight. Citing an internal Yamaha document, Moto Revue reports the new naked model will feature an inline Triple engine, aluminum perimeter frame, upside-down fork and a triple-pipe exhaust like the MV Agusta F3 and Brutale 675. Yamaha has produced a Triple before, offering the XS750 from 1976-1979 before replacing it with the XS850 in 1980 and 1981 (pictured above is the 1981 Yamaha XS850.) The potential new model is still likely to be years away, so its look is yet to be determined, though Moto Revue does have a rendering that borrows some of the design elements from the FZ8.
