Yamaha Other description

Yamaha yr1 1967 Up for auction is a 1967 Yamaha Yr1 350cc original motorcycle. I believe it to be a 1 or two owner motorcycle due to the mileage the bike literally has only 5200 mis on it. The bike is really clean for its age, although the chrome and paint is a little worn out, the internal functional parts on this bike are really clean. The bike does have good compression and the motor is free ( yes the kicker works). The inside of the tank is like new and never had rust in it, just like the gas tank the oil tank is really clean.The bike currently does not run, I bought it with the intention to make it run but never got to it so I'm just going to sell it now because I need the money. I have owned a lot of these 2 stroke bikes and firmly believe it should fire up with a simple tune up, the points still move and appear to be gap correctly,the oil injection system is complete and should do its job once refilled and primed, and the wiring is all complete from what I can see but I did pop the seat and head light lens off so you can see for your self. The bike does not come with paper work just a bill of sale. This is a very rare find due to the fact that in 1967 Yamaha's 350 was the fasted bike they ever made back in 67, this bike was only made for 1 yr, and the mileage of the bike. The bike still has the original tire fill which is very rare to have the tire pump with its original bike.The bike does not have its key but really is not that big of a deal you can get keys direct from yamaha or on ebay. This bike is truly my favorite yamaha ever made and would have loved to kept it, so with that said I set a reserve on the bike because if I don't get what I need out of it it will be built in the next month or 2 then be back on ebay to sell. If you want to know anything about the bike feel free to email me through ebay or call me at 424 400 XXXX just ask for Brandon. Look out for more bikes to come from me in the future. Thank you and bid to win.

Yamaha Reports Q2 2013 Sales Results

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Yamaha bounced back from a poor first quarter with sales of 1.530 million motorcycles over the second quarter ended June 30, 2013. The results represent a 1.5% increase from the 1.507 million motorcycles sold in the same quarter last year. Still, Yamaha’s first half motorcycle sales total of 3.0 million units remains behind last year’s tally of 3.1 million units because of the weak first quarter sales.

Valentino Rossi Works at the Yamaha Offices when not Winning Everything

Tue, 07 Jul 2009

Yamaha Motor Europe has recently posted up on YouTube a delightful video about their riders.  Their secret for being so good at what they do is that they totally immerse themselves in Yamaha by working at the Yamaha offices. Hilarity ensues. James Toseland works the mail room, while Colin Edwards does security, quoting Eric Cartman from a 10 year-old-South Park episode.  Jorge Lorenzo is washing windows and Valentino Rossi is working the front desk.

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.
