2001 Yamaha reviews

This bike is sweet. It flies like no other. I am so excited to own this thing....if I were you I would go out and buy one right now...Yamaha rules!! Show less

Had the bike for a couple of years now and I must say that it has done everything I wanted it to. I wasn't sure which bike to pick as a beginner, and I feel I have made the right choice. It gets about 65 MPG & is great for putting around town. I've had it off road a few times & it works very well. Keep in mind that I'm not a pro rider. I had one problem the second time I took it offroad - I think it got too hot & it wouldnt start.(A friend had to bail me out!) That was probably due to my inexperience, since I haven't had a problem since. It's a fun bike to ride! I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to get some aftermarket parts - they seem to be hard to find! Show less

What a machine! Can't say enough good things about this bike!! Smooth, Powerfull, Reliable! Did a 1,500mi high speed run. Ran perfect, handled very well in 20-35mph side wind. I love this bike Show less

I just turned 18 and have wanted a sport bike for a long time. I bought this bike about a month ago and have been riding it everywhere since then. It's my first bike and has been an excellent one to learn on. It has got plenty of punch, especially in the high RPM's. Despite this the bike is extremely comfortable and easy to ride. Very forgiving handling and excellent breaks. Great all around bike, especially for the price. Show less

I bought this bike used and have not had a problem since I've owned it. It is not your typical putt around four stroke. Especially once you cut the throttle stop and take out the spark arresstor. The power is defiantly there but if you want to just cruise around you can but if you want to race that is no problem either. Show less

I own a 2002 YZF600R, I love it except for the 2nd gear problem over 10000 miles. Customer service wasn't much help. Searching the internet I have found that many owners of this bike have the same problem. If you are interested in this bike be aware. Show less

I have been riding big bikes like XR600s and friends talked me into this 250. I was quite amazed by the power generated by this 250! Pulls hard WAY into the revs. Bottom end torque is a bit lacking, but understandable for the design of the motor. Must admit this is definitely a bike to have. Light and fast. Show less

Wow! I can't believe that I'm the first preson to write about this bike. It is incredibly fast and fun to ride! It kept up with my friend's YZ250 with no problem. The revs... it revs forever and feels like it will just keep going!! The only problem is starting it. Get used to using the compression realease. It is such a blast to be able to pull a wheelie in almost every gear without using the clutch! Show less

Have had the V Star 1100 Classic now for a year and it has been a great bike. Looks good, has all the options on it and is pretty comfortable to ride. Would like a 6th gear to quiet her down a bit on the highway. And would like a different oil location, but other than those two things, this is a GREAT bike for the money. Show less

The YZ125 is a barn burner with some of the best power characteristics of any 125 ever produced. The 2001 YZ125 placed second in a recent review of all the YZ125's made in the last ten years! Only just beaten by the 2004 model. I got my YZ125 new in 2001 and still have it. This is the best 125 I've ever owned. It is super reliable and very strong. I've kept it completely standard apart from cosmetically. I believe that all around, YZ's are the best package available. This bike handles and turns great, it chops through the ruts effortlessly. It's very quick with excellent suspension and brakes. I recommend any YZ, but this one especially - IT'S GREAT! Show less
