Nice bike for not a lot of cash. A firstyear 850, shaft drive, 3 cylinder triple middleweight cruiser bike with 52k miles.
Many small parts replaced, carb boots, and carbs jetted & cleaned 3 years ago. Fork seals, tach cable and o-rings, valve cover gasket plugs and wires.
Replaced one coil at roadside 2 summers ago. Front tire around a month ago, rear needs to be replaced (13k miles on it) Runs out nice down the road decent on gas but recently sometimes hard to start. May need carbs synched.
Overall, nice but not perfect. A few chips on the tank, both sidecovers intact- chrome nice. Missing a rear shock reflector, and one of the footpeg rubbers. R. front reflector cracked but intact. clear michigan title. Buyer MUST be able to pick up. M-53 area. 25 miles north of I-696, 15 north of m-59. South of I-69 around 13 miles.

BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates
Tue, 03 Jan 2012In my opinion, the smartest move in the BSB off season has to be Michael Laverty moving from Swan Yamaha to HM Plant Honda. With a ban on electronics for 2012, and in particular traction control, WFR's Graham Gowland has already proved to Laverty how competitive an EVO spec Fireblade can be - so I’m tipping both these riders to be bang on the money at the Brands Hatch season opener in April. Unlike BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha, Honda have deliberately developed their road-going Superbike without electronics to give a user friendly feel with good mechanical traction, so it’ll be interesting to see how the opposition copes with their high-tech trickery stripped off.
Build your own Yamaha VMax
Tue, 15 Jun 2010For the origami fans out there, Yamaha have a printable Paper Craft version of their VMax motorcycle (or should that be PMax - P for paper obviously) Download each of the five individual PDF pages and get folding. Might want to stock up on printer ink and A4 paper though as it looks like it will be a frustrating model. As it looks fairly impossible and time consuming I'm putting the challenge out for anyone to go out and complete the paper model themself.
