Yamaha Road Star description

1999 Yamaha XV1600 Road StarAre you ready to rumble?With a cubic capacity greater than that of some cars (1602cc) the Yamaha XV1600A???s massive, pushrod V-twin mill delivers an outrageous 134.3nm of torque at 2250rpm. It???s a sea of grunt that almost renders your gear shifter obsolete ??? pick a gear, any gear, roll on the throttle and feel Road Star???s trade mark, shoulder-yanking grunt. It???s what you get from 98 cubic inches of monster motorcycle powerplant ??? an artful merging of traditional cruiser design principles and up to the minute technology. Hydraulic valve lifters and smooth-riding belt drive meet high-tech cylinder plating and Mikuni carb with throttle position sensor, coasting enricher & accelerator pump. And believe us, when it???s attached to an XV1600, the term ???accelerator??? pump is used advisedly! Road Star has the show to match the go. Gleaming bodywork and classic styled, deep-valanced fenders, making it a feast of feel and smooth flowing lines. The cockpit layout is relaxed and comfortable, with wide, backswept handlebars on rubber-mountings, and floating floorboards. Handling is stable, neutral and confidence-inspiring, thanks to a rigid, double cradle frame, beefy, brushed-steel fork and quality Bilstein shock, while powerful, triple disc brakes bring speeds down in a controlled and easy manner.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC. It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching. I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration. Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience. I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love. And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor. The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more. I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects out there so why not have a go yourself?

Superbike In the AMA Pro National Guard Superbike division, Yamaha is fielding “Team Josh,” as three-time and defending class champion, Josh Hayes once again teams up with Josh Herrin, the 2012 AMA Rookie of the Year. Despite setting single-season records for the most SuperBike wins, the most consecutive SuperBike wins, and the most SuperBike poles, the elder Josh hasn’t lost any of his competitive fire. During the off-season, Josh signed a two-year contract to stay with Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha because he loves the team and he still feels that he’s got a lot of unfinished business to attend to.
