Yamaha FZR400 description

Well I thought I'd never sell my race bike but it's time. I don't get out enough on the street and its to let someone else have some fun.

Currently set up for the street with all working lights, blinkers, mirrors, etc. Awesome track bike or canyon carver with "telepathic" handling which is why these are so hard to find in stock condition. The motor shrieks like a banshee when wound up (see video) . Bike needs absolutely nothing and is in excellent condition. Motor is very tight, doesn't leak oil or smoke and makes great power. I went through it completely, including new tires, for a track day earlier this summer and then didn't go.

Comes with extra rear subframe and complete race body work (see picture) and tons of spares, including complete forks, water pump, black box, etc. etc. Easily enough to campaign a season of racing or sell for $500-1000 on Ebay. This is a true sport bike, not a comfy Sunday driver. If you want to strafe canyons or take a fast lightweight machine to the track, this is perfect. Also, since it is a customized bike I don't recommend buying it unless you have some mechanical aptitude and familiarity with motorcycle mechanics. I repair and restore bikes professionally and can attest that this is a one of a kind sweet machine. Raced but not beat up, meticulously maintained, clean and sharp. Raced at Road Atlanta, Daytona as well as local tracks here in Colorado and won an amateur championship back in 1997

Race tuned (for Denver elevation of 5,000 ft) with numerous dyno runs. Pulls hard all the way up to 14,000 RPM. Motor is like a two stroke with most power hitting hard at 10,000+ RPM

1mm over pistons (I forget the exact displacement but its in the low 400's cc's)

Frame and geometry tuned by CompuTrac to mimic the handling of a TZ250

Powder coated wheels with polished rims

Fox race shock

Forks built by PK suspension with cartridge emulators and preload adjusters

D&D race exhaust

FZR1000 master brake cylinder and braided steel brake lines

Custom rearsets (one of a kind)

Pod filters on carburetors

New battery

New tires

New chain and sprockets

Lots of titanium hardware

Lots of safety wiring in place

Race side covers to protect engine (I have all stock covers)

Gauges rearranged to show RPM's only (speedo not installed)

I recommend local pickup so I can go over the bike and spares with the new owner.

California Superbike School 2-day Camp at Silverstone

Mon, 24 May 2010

California Superbike School will be running a 2-day camp at Silverstone for the first time in the UK this August, offering riders a chance to enjoy extra track time while improving their skills in the art of cornering. Taking place on the all-new South circuit (1.9 miles long with 12 turns) students can ride their own bike or hire a fully prepared 2010 Yamaha R6 with the latest Dunlop Sportsmart tyres and fuel included. Already hugely popular with students returning year after year, previously the 2-day camps have been held in Spain during the spring.

Jorge Lorenzo Gets His Motorcycle License

Thu, 08 Mar 2012

2010 MotoGP Champion Jorge Lorenzo has earned his A2 Spanish motorcycle license. Last month, we learned Lorenzo was practicing for the test on a Yamaha YB250R motorcycle, and now the Yamaha factory racer has completed the practical portion of the test. Here he is pictured with his riding teacher Xavi Vallejo (and wouldn’t it be cool to tell people you taught a MotoGP World Champion how to ride a motorcycle?).
