Classic reviews

A brilliant collectors motorcycle. Stylistically, a gem. Rides like a Thruxton, looks like something out of a museum. Ps. In the canyons this bike will ride like a super bike. Around town it rides like a gentleman's sport bike. Show less

The Yamaha 350 cc two stroke Grand Prix was Yamaha Motor's largest displacement sport model at the time. It covered the 400 m sprint off the line in 13.8 seconds, and could reach a maximum speed of 173 km/h. Featuring a newly developed 350cc, 2-cylinder engine with aluminum cylinders, 36 hp at 7500 rpm has a return type 5-speed transmission, "Autolube" and more, it boasted excellent cooling capacity and light weight. The R1 chassis featured a highly rigid double cradle frame, telescopic front fork, 3-way adjustable rear suspension and fully waterproof drum brakes. Awesome bike! Around 346 lbs dry. Mixes it own oil and gas! Lots of torque and fast even for today! Vibrates a little though, but tolerable and fun bike to ride, what a blast from the past! Show less

This bike, this work of mechanical art, a bike that's almost organic in the absolute love that you'll come to have for it. I actually named it Shangri La, from a Led Zepelin lyric. I live in SW Pennsylvania; Shangri La. has provided me with many adventures in the mountains. I even took a trip or two to Flight 93 Memorial and Gettysburg. The longest ride that I took her on was to Bowling Green, Ky. The ride there was unbelievably comfortable. My route is usually going from Cincinatti to Louisville, on down to Bowling Green. That one time, I decided to go through Lexington, Ky. for some sightseeing. This took me a good way out of the way, by the time I turned my forks back towards my true destination, the sun was beginning to get low. Shangri La gave me enough power with her 111 Thunderstroke engine, that I reached my destination before dark. All through my trip, any trip actually, I get tons of compliments on her. Many people think it's an antique bike, due to the new corporate owners of the Indian Name, Polaris, modeling the Indian Vintage from the 1948 year, just with 21st century technology. I am selling her with a tremendous amount of sadness and reluctance due to my second bike wreck where I went down hard. I'm 65 years old now and beginning to feel my mortality. Shangri La, because she in being my dream bike of all time, btw the bike I went down on was a Sportster 1200. Any who, I did annual preventative maintenance on her, she has been garage kept. This bike will give you a status of at least one cut above. I can't really add much more, except to say I love her, and you will to. The only wear that you will see, is understandably the seat, from me riding her. I would include a statement of being negotiable, but the asking price is already what Cycle Trader states as typical asking price. If I were to negotiate, and that is a big if, I may consider some but remember, you are getting a very good deal... Show less

I love this motorcycle, but now too old to ride it safely with the arthritis I have, so I need to sell. Low mileage at 8,700. Excellent condition and alway garage parked, never wreaked. AWSOME red/silver color combination. Show less

Bought a 2023 BMW R Nine T pure brand new. On the way home there was a rattle in the tank and the engine. According to the dealer they first said to just break it in. But then when it did not go away and took it back they could not hear it. Then said that the new Euro 5 emissions cause it. What does emissions have to do with a rattle in the tank or engine? However BMW does not stand behind their product neither does the dealer. So, if you are looking for a dealer that backs their product look elsewhere. If you are looking for a manufacturer that stands behind their product look to another brand. Many times I have tried to get into a different bike with as you guessed no help from BMW or the dealer. The only reason for one star is because there is no choice for zero stars. What's more after leaving this heart felt and factual account there still will not be anyone whom cares enough to make it right. Because if they do I will change my rating if I do not then you will know what I say was truthful... Show less

For the money best on the Planet. I have over 22,000 miles and nothing but tires and tune ups. Only change was ordering a custom Diamond seat. Now can ride all day in comfort. Highly recommended and if you want the Harley sound just change the pipes. Show less

My experience with the bike is nothing but age and caring about something so much and wanting it more since you were 8 years old now you're older and more mature it's a want you've always seen and now you know it's achievable. Show less

Very nice pieced together bike. Seems like a good runner and perfect for a new owner. I sold a 51 Rapide w/ correct numbers for $50k, just a few years ago. Good luck w/ this one. I now own a 52 Black Shadow that is a great ride. I took a whole winter making it closer to stock, even suffering the original voltage regulator for almost a year until finally giving up on it and going w/ a Podronics reg. This bike is a nice setup and should make any rider not worried about matching numbers. very happy. Show less

Today’s date March 20 2022: This husband and wife company located in Phoenix Arizona has ripped off my deposit. They owe me more than $15,000 dollars after losing the civil lawsuit in Maricopa County. Do you’re homework and check for your self and see three lawsuits on this company they have lost by Default Judgment. Failure to appear. Thanks for reading my honest review. Show less
