    Hey, so I'm consulting with the Yamaha experts here, right? I've got NO experience in evaluating what a street bike is worth, or even knowing what it is that I've got. We do own 3 pretty cool matching Yamaha dirt bikes, so I feel I've got a right to be in this forum- I've just never had a need to post anything. So here's my dilema- I won this auction for an abandoned storage unit and in it (among many many other things) were two Yamaha motorcycles. One was a dirtbike with no engine, the other was this BEAUTIFUL street bike that looks 98% restored with not a speck of rust on it. We have no place to store it inside- so I'm thinking to either finish it off and sell it o…

    I recently found a 1977 YZ125 project bike for a kidney patient in dire need of a project to occupy his spare time and help take his mind off of things. He is very excited about his new project, and had it stripped down to the frame the 1st day he got it! Now I am trying to locate the parts he needs to rebuild it. Anyone out there have anything laying around the garage?

    Hello all, now, I've got a Yamaha wr125x 2015 and I need some advice!! Most days I take the dual carriageway home as my bike is my main form of transport! It's currently all stock apart from a leovince exhaust. I've researched for hours trying to find someone who has messed about with the gearing, I want a wee bit more topend. I know it's a 125 4 stroke and I'm lucky to get 65/70mph out of it but I'd rather sit at them speeds a little more Comfortably in 6th gear. Does anyone know what gear ratios suit this bike better for a little bit more speed? Thanks in advance ! Oh, and merry Christmas guys!!

Well I think I broken it Hopefully something and nothing but as I was coming home at 23:00 down the M56 last night the boy didn’t sound to be fully on song and I noticed that the lights slightly flickering on the dash then I saw 2 or 3 white flashes near my right knee and that was it he decided to have a sleep I was in lane 3 and was passing a couple of cars so I backed off a tad to fall behind the cars then i coasted across to a slip road with no hard shoulder and parked it in the widest part which was about twice the width of the bike and sat on the barriers and called recovery , got it home but I haven’t got a clue where to start. …
