Yamaha Other description

Howdy, Have this near bone stock 1974 DT250 my lousy back won't let me ride anymore, so here ya go.  All original except rear turn signals, the tool kit is still under the seat, amazing.  On original bore, rings still almost shiny, no seizure marks, ready to go and go and go.  Tires are about 3/4 tread left, oil injection system still working so no pre-mixing needed.  Nice that this model's sprockets can be flipped for double the life when needed in the future, these have 12K miles, not bad.  Chain outer links are rusty from when it sat out for a long time, chain itself I cleaned, only 1" stretch, still good.  No rust in tank, replaced fuel lines and filter.  Starts first kick (has a fresh plug), runs like a bat, embarrassingly fun with the low gearing that's on it, ring-ding it through the gears and you're only doing 50mph, fun.  Air cleaner is K&N type, needs an oiling.  Wheels are straight, no rust to speak of.  Only negative is seat, the pan rusted when sitting, I put the funky cover on it wears now.  Your butt won't know the difference. Not sure what else to say, except I'd put my grand kids on it, I consider it safe and sure.  AZ title notarized and ready to go.  Will consider using my van to deliver it once paid for at say a buck a mile one way?  Thanks, Bruce in Tombstone.  PS, might swap for a DSL, RPK or Dragonov with scope and extras, I'm an FFL.

Rumor: Yamaha Developing Inline Three Roadster

Wed, 25 Jan 2012

French motorcycle outlet Moto Revue reports Yamaha is developing a new three-cylinder middleweight. Citing an internal Yamaha document, Moto Revue reports the new naked model will feature an inline Triple engine, aluminum perimeter frame, upside-down fork and a triple-pipe exhaust like the MV Agusta F3 and Brutale 675. Yamaha has produced a Triple before, offering the XS750 from 1976-1979 before replacing it with the XS850 in 1980 and 1981 (pictured above is the 1981 Yamaha XS850.) The potential new model is still likely to be years away, so its look is yet to be determined, though Moto Revue does have a rendering that borrows some of the design elements from the FZ8.
