Yamaha YZF-R description
|
Regrettably, selling my 2003 Yamaha YZF-R1 Limited Edition (~15,000 miles) and accessories. It has a fresh oil and filter change and new battery.
This is a one-owner, adult-owned and ridden bike that has always been garage kept, never laid-down or crashed, and was broken-in according to manufacturer recommendations. It was mainly used to commute to and from work, getting about 50mpg. Any areas of note/scratches are described in the pictures.
This bike is all original and has never been modified, with the exception of the following: Added Daytona adjustable steering stabilizer (I believe it is a Shindy). Added K&N air filter. Added frame and clutch sliders. I replaced the rear tire with a 180/55 instead of using the original 190/50 size. The current tires are upgraded to Dunlop Sportmax 209GP's originally priced at over $600 per set.
I have all of the original bolts/brackets, etc. that were removed when the above modifications were made. I am also including a 'matching' cargo net, wheel/disc lock, Lockhart Phillips tank cover, and a Nelson Rigg bike cover.
I am hiding nothing with regards to this bike. I will say upfront that it has been to the track (where I was scolded for being too slow and in the way, so it has never been pushed to its limits) and that it has also been sitting for a number of years in storage. I have inspected the bike and all appears to be in order. The chain and sprockets were replaced shortly before storage and are in good condition. The inside of the tank is spotless and the fuel system shows no signs of concern. There was no oxidation or anything of that nature on any surface when I pulled the bike out of storage. The only thing I discovered was a slight sidewall crack on both sides of the rear tire. This appears to be cosmetic. I have taken the bike on test rides and, while I am not personally concerned, these tires are several years old. At this time I am considering only local pick-up with cash payment or PayPal. |

Pipewerx's new Slash Cut slip-ons
Fri, 16 Sep 2011Pipe Werx, the British performance motorcycle exhaust company, has added a new product to its range – the Slash Cut Trim. Priced at only £79.95, delivered, the Slash Cut Trim easily bolts on with its supplied mounting clamp and spring to the catalytic converter in place of the heavy standard exit pipes on Yamaha’s R6 (2006-2011) and Suzuki’s GSX-R600/750 (K8, K9, L0). With the main aim of reducing weight and improving aesthetics on these machines, the Slash Cut Trim does give a marginal increase of throttle response and exhaust note.
I can die happy!
Wed, 04 Sep 2013As an eighteen year old Kenny Roberts was my bike racing God. I loved Barry Sheene but as a Yamaha FS1E rider I always wanted the little American to win simply because his bike resembled mine. The coverage of Grand Prix in the late seventies was sketchy but I clearly remember watching the epic Sheene/Roberts battle unfold at the Silverstone GP on my council estate telly. The Dutchman, Wil Hartog was hanging in there for a while but as the laps unfolded it became a two way battle with Sheene looking favourite to win. Sheene lost the most time as the pair lapped a certain George Fogarty so my hero Roberts eventually won by just three hundredths of a second. I’m not sure what happened next but being a Sunday we would no doubt be skidding around later in the day at the Pines chippie pretending to be Roberts and Sheene. Fast forward thirty four years and a boyhood fantasy came true as I headed out on Chris Wilson’s 1980 Roberts machine for the Barry Sheene tribute laps at last weekend’s Moto GP. It crackled into life instantly and felt as sharp as any of the more modern 500s I used to race. The temperature gauge had a maximum marker on 60 degrees so to begin with I was nervous as it didn’t move but being a hot day (although still keeping my hand on the clutch) I convinced myself it wasn’t working. The bike felt tiny, not helped by the fact I only just squeezed into my 1989 Marlboro Yamaha leathers. It still felt rapid though as I played out the 1979 classic in my head while getting tucked in down the Hanger straight. Steve Parrish was also out there on one of Barry’s 500cc Heron Suzukis so we did our best to copy the famous last lap at Woodcote Corner where Sheene came so close to winning his home GP. As a lad I would have said the chances of me riding round Silverstone on a GP winning Kenny Roberts machine were zero, but in the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true!
