Here’s a rare bike in the U.S., the YZF1000 Thunderace! Imported for only one year here, these are so rare now that this one was actually imported from Europe. Bodywork looks clean and all the bits are there, but the rest appears a bit weather worn. On the other hand, the seller states everything works…
Almost hiding in Yamaha’s corporate blue, this R1 was parked shortly after its first ride or two and is now ready for a second life after a career on display. 2000 Yamaha YZF-R1 for sale on eBay Introduced just a couple of years before as a much more sporting liter, the R1 used a vertical…
For a significant number of riders across a wide swath of age ranges, the Yamaha RD series represents the pinnacle of the adolescent hoonabike. Sporting a minimalist profile with sporting intent, the lightweight two stroke twin has been a longstanding favorite – be it the classic air cooled RD, the not-imported-into-the-US liquid cooled RD-LC, or…

Most small smokers came in race lookalike themes, but today’s rare TZR-250 draws fans with its chic subdued livery. 1991 Yamaha TZR250 for sale at Iconic Motorbike Auctions Though legislatively limited to 45 hp, the 90 degree V-twin aboard the later 3XV variants is the most naturally balanced and capable of several more ponies with…
