Yamaha YZF-R description

This is a 2001 Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat.  I have owned this bike since 2005; was my first street motorcycle.  I'm going to be completely honest and say that as of now the bike does not run.  The last time this bike was ridden was summer 2011.  At that time the bike ran excellent, and since then has been garage kept.  After I added two Harleys to my collection I never found time to get back on this, so it has went 5 years without being started.  There is no battery, the engine would need refreshed with new fluids and carbs cleaned obviously, and a new fuel line would probably be necessary.  The body plastic has some cracks as I have shown in the pictures but the paint is still bright and the frame/chassis is in fantastic shape.  Tires have 70% tread left.  The motorcycle has only 7,431 miles on it and to be honest I need to get it out of my garage so somebody can get some use out of it.  This motorcycle would be great for a first time bike or a small project bike; wouldn't take much money into this bike to make it nearly new.  It does have a 520 chain conversion kit, 1 down (front sprocket) 3 up (rear sprocket).  Feel free to ask any questions, no reasonable offer will be refused.  Pick up locally or arrange for shipping.  If price is right I would consider traveling up to 3 hours from me to meet.  For sale locally, so can end any time.  Thanks for looking.

You. Call. That. Lean

Fri, 14 May 2010

Jean Philippe Ruggia, 1988, Coppice at Donington Park, Sonauto-Yamaha 250. This is elbow lean action. There was a previous blog entry of Ben Spies and his elbow grazing the tarmac onboard the M1 Yamaha, I admit it is impressive but I find myself admiring the horizontal angles that Ruggia submitted his 250 Yamaha to, with the above image taken at Coppice as a prime example.

Pierre Karsmakers, one of the first European motocross champions to bring his expertise to America, has been elected to the AMA Motorcycle Hall Of Fame Class of 2014. A three-time motocross champion in his native Holland, Karsmakers came to the United States to gain wider exposure and attract the attention of the Japanese motorcycle makers. “All the Japanese (sponsorship) contracts were going to Belgian riders,” Karsmakers said.

2014 AMA Supercross – Indianapolis Results

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Ryan Dungey captured his first win of the 2014 AMA Supercross season in a wild main event that saw two of the top title contenders crashing on the starting straight at Indianapolis‘ Lucas Oil Stadium. Smartop MotoConcepts Suzuki rider Mike Alessi took the holeshot for the second race in a row, but the big news was incoming points leader Ryan Villopoto and Ken Roczen going down before the first turn. Roczen trailed Villopoto by nine points going into the Indianapolis round, but the KTM rookie’s hopes of overtaking the reigning champion took a blow when he went down on the straight, knocking Villopoto off in the process.
