Yamaha Motorcycles in General Reviews

I have a yamaha yq50 and i think its the best scooter ever, it goes up to 60 miles per hour, its very comforting to ride, and of course tax and insurance are very cheap, tax is 15.00 for 12 months and insurance is about 200.00 per year which works out at about 20.53 a month. When i bought this it was quit expensive in a 19 year olds eyes it was ...  Read the complete review

I've been motocross riding for approx 5 yrs now, I started with a late 80's YZ250 bought for £450, I spent as much again in buying parts and repairing the thing. From there I moved down to a KX125 for a bit then a nmid 90's YZ250 and gently learn't my craft - only costing me 1 broken collar bone. When you ride at a track ...  Read the complete review

Like the vast majority of riders, I passed my test on my driving school's crappy little 125. It was 6 years old and after God knows how many lunatics learning to ride, wasn't up to much good. When I passed my test I bought a Yamaha RD250. It was 22 years old and I paid £250 for it. It was in fairly good nick and it was love at ...  Read the complete review

To me the best lower class 2 stroke on the market.I had one about 3 years ago and i was very impressed with its performance, the handling one mine was next to nothing, once i hit about 6k on the rev conter that was it the power valve kicked in and it shot you back on your seat.for a 350 on a C it was powerful it s speed went off the clocks. i ...  Read the complete review

I had my XJ600 for about 3 years in which time it did over 120,000 miles on a variety of roads. In that time, other than the usual consumables, the only things that needed replacing were the clutch plates, one of the coils and the voltage regulator. Not bad going for a bike that was used day in, day out, come rain, sun and snow.....The engine ...  Read the complete review

My first trail bike was a DT175. For a couple of hundred pounds, I had a superb little machine that thrived on mud and utter neglect. Being a two stroke, with minimal weight or much power, it could be thrown into off-road adventures with total abandon, and survived countless minor crashes. I have tried to play in the mud on my present ...  Read the complete review

We all have so much fun on it we have taken it on holiday to the sea side and most weekends to waste land by where we live to ride it. it has three gears which my son mastered ...  Read the complete review

This is the best dirt bike I have ever ridden. The 82cc two stroke enginge is very easy to start, it normally starts first time. As it is a competition bike it is liquid cooled and race tuned. The suspention is exellent and the seat is very comfortable. The engine is very clean running and it is easy to look after. the paintwork is brilliant ...  Read the complete review

This bike is the best my husband and I have ever had! We have had well into double figures by now and this one is the best! It's a 1989 G reg 1000cc EXUP and it was painted in Benetton colours when we bought it 4 years ago. It's just had a new paint job in just red and yellow and it looks just as good as all the new bike and ...  Read the complete review

Amazing 2 stroke from yamaha. Unlike the UK version of the TZR250 this import gets its name because the carbs are stuck in front of the engine and the exhausts exit from under the seat unit and are hidden beneath the gorgeous body. The main difference between the UK version and this one is that due to all of the complicated technology this bike ...  Read the complete review

I OWEN a YAMAHA RXS 100 and think they are a great little commuter bike they have the power of a 125cc motor bike which is 12.5 break horse power which is not bad for 100cc concidering the prices of 125cc bikes these days you are talking about £2000/3000pounds wich is a lot of well earned cash for any body ,But the RXS100 is £1400/1600 pounds ...  Read the complete review
