Yamaha XS description

I have owned this bike for over 30 years (the mileage is original) and recently completed this mild Cafe project. Very strong

stock engine, runs great. Fresh oil change (Amzoil) and replacable filter, part of the custom oil cooler, and fork oil.

New:  tires, shocks, 4 gal. tank, set-backs, halogen headlight conversion, fork brace, bar-end mirrors.

Cafe seat professionally upholstered on stock XS seat pan (so it flips up like stock).

Awesome front twin disc brake system with SS brake lines and correct master cylinder for the set-up.

Includes all original take-off parts including the excellent original seat and tank.

This is not a restoration, but is a really nice 35 year old bike, with no issues, that shows the appropriate patina (a bike to be proud of).

Clear title in my name. No warranty given or implied. Transport is the buyers responsibility.

Non-refundable $500 deposit required at the auction end (contact me for deposit payment and balance payment).

Bike is being listed locally & may be removed from auction listing if sold prior to auction end.

Thanks for your interest.

Kenny Roberts Motorcycle Collection Up For Sale

Wed, 25 Apr 2012

Motorcycling legend Kenny Roberts has commissioned RMD Motors to auction off some rare and exclusive motorcycles from his collection, presumably to make room for more. The Japan-based company is known the world over for its collection of rare and classic motorcycles for sale, many of which are retired grand prix machines fortunate enough to escape the fate of most decommissioned racebikes: the crusher.  Headlining the Roberts collection is the 2004 Proton KRV5 originally ridden by Kurtis Roberts, King Kenny’s youngest son. The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.
