Yamaha XT description

1 . . . . These YAMAHA 500 SINGLE Cylinder FOUR-Stroke models carried quite a history since the very first ones in 1976. It was the start of several new models in Yamaha's lineup with the Off-Road only version called the TT500 and the Street only version called the SR500. All of them had the same torquey 500 "THUMPER" engine that had such great low end torque when matched up with the two-stroke rivals. This one was a very reliable power plant and reasonable weight conscious for cycles in that era.

This particular vehicle was purchased from the original YAMAHA dealer in Sturgeon Bay and serviced there as well.  It has always been kept inside and prepped for storage early in the fall.  It has had it's recent oil and filter change and tune-up.  The silencer end of the original exhaust muffler was upgraded to a newer style that no longer has a problem with rusting out, but still looks great and sounds original.  All of the rest of the original components are still on this cycle.  I don't have a better way of explaining how nice and trustworthy this cycle really is except to say that you will just have to make it yours and be the happy new owner.  I only decided to sell it due to some health issues; otherwise would have no thoughts of ever selling it.  For any questions please feel free to call (920)495-7686 from 7:00am to 5:00pm.

AMA Pro Racing Announces Tommy Aquino Spirit Award

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The sudden and tragic passing of Tommy Aquino has hit the entire motorcycling community hard. In order to preserve and honor the spirit and positive attitude of the late Tommy Aquino, AMA Pro Racing announced today that a “Tommy Aquino Spirit Award” will be granted to an AMA Pro Road Racing rider who best embodies the spirit of the paddock during the 2014 season. The paddock will vote for the rider who exemplifies qualities mirroring those of Tommy including passion for the sport, fan engagement and team interaction. The award will be presented on behalf of Cortech and Shoei at the conclusion of the 2014 AMA Pro Road Racing season. “Over the past eight years we have had the pleasure of working with Tommy Aquino, but he was much more than just another Shoei athlete,” said Hiro Mizushima, President of Shoei Safety Helmet Corp.

I have had a little walk around checking out the preparations for the show.

Yamaha are the only manufacturer to use an industrial crane to place some of its bikes up on high rise stands.

Yamaha Produces 35th Anniversary Edition SR400 for Japan

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Yamaha is celebrating the 35th anniversary of its SR series with a special edition model in Japan. Produced in limited numbers, the 35th Anniversary Edition Yamaha SR400 offers an exclusive leaf green metallic color, special badging and, in an unusual gesture, a lower price than the base model. The original SR500 was introduced in 1978 as a street-focused version of the Yamaha XT500.
