 When you first enter Western Powersports, the first thing you’ll notice is that we have the widest selection of new Yamaha and Triumph motorcycles of any dealership in the area. While you can purchase a stock motorcycle, it’s been our experience that not everyone wants their bike to look like the next guys. Just seeing the accessories on the shelf can sometimes make it hard to visualize how they will look on your new bike. So what we do is customize the bikes in the showroom; that way you can better choose the options and accessories that are right for you.
 
We have the entire line of Yamaha street bikes on display, just waiting for you to take them home. No matter if you want some minor accessorizing like saddlebags, “Cobra” exaust pipes, “Mustang” seats, or
a fully loaded Road Star with everything but the kitchen sink, you will find what you are looking for in our showroom.These Yamaha cruisers, were made to be personalized and Western Powersports has both “Genuine Yamaha” and aftermarket accessories to fit any of the models.
 For the 2008 cruiser lineup, Yamaha gives you the Raider and Raider S (XV1900). A 1,854 cc air-cooled, OHV, 8-valve, 48º, V-twin w/EFI powered custom machine, right out of the crate!
When the engineers at Yamaha set out to produce a true custom machine, the easy part was the styling and attention to detail.
The trick was to combine this awesome "chopper" inspired styling with a chassis that would offer superior handling. The engineers at Yamaha were not willing to compromise. The new Raider S must deliver great handling and excellent ride quality. Discover the superior quality, styling and all round performance of the new Raider S.
The engineers at Yamaha had 2 main goals for the 2008 R6. To be the most exciting bike to race on the track and to be the most fun sport bike to ride on a winding road. Even at full lean, the new R6 C.E. allows the rider to dial up the throttle and sling shot out of a corner. Confidence, agility, performance and fun, all wrapped up in a hot new cooler package.
Yamaha's YZF-R1 remains the showcase for their most advanced sport bike technology. The 2008 model brings with it a new 4-valve 998cc powerplant and YCC-I (Yamaha's Chip Controlled Intake). From chip controlled throttle and electronic variable intake funnels, to the new more advanced Deltabox V frame design, Yamaha strives to offer experienced riders a whole new level of exhilaration and riding excitement. Despite serious power, the 2008 R1 is more obedient and more civilized than ever before.

Triumph trashed the Cruiser rulebook with the introduction of the Rocket III – the first cruiser ever to feature a 3-cylinder engine mounted lengthwise along the frame. The Rocket III is the largest capacity production motorcycle in the world. But a bike so balanced it can be ridden with the lightest of touches. You already know the numbers: a 2294cc triple engine; torque, 147lb-ft at 2,500 rpm; giant, 240 section rear. What you don’t know is how it feels to push a bike like this through a few twisties. It’s a revelation. A 2.3 litres bike that corners, that doesn’t just go in a straight line. But then, this is a bike built to ride not just to sit on - an impeccable cruiser with an easy handling and a motor so torquey, you’re always in the right gear. And clearly, should you require it, performance is not an issue.
 The Triumph America is a motorcycle just made for the open road. It feels planted and rides easy. For 2007 the jet-black, parallel twin motor has been cranked up to 865cc to give the bike more torque. And more torque means fewer gear changes - just what is needed for relaxed cruising. The riding position puts the rider at the centre of the universe with a low, sofa of a seat that lets feet be planted firmly on the ground when coming to a stop. The pillion gets a exceptionally comfortable riding experience too with a roomy seat.
As the first three-cylinder super sports middleweight the Daytona 675 stands alone in the most hotly contested arena in motorcycling. Of course it can be compared to many motorcycles – and on such occasions invariably comes out on top, but in one single stroke it’s redefined just how a middleweight sports bike should look and feel. If the Daytona 675’s unique DNA is a large part of its appeal, its stunning performance is the winning flourish.
The Daytona’s power plant embodies all of the refinements one would expect from a modern Supersport bike – a compact, lightweight design, stacked, close-ratio gearbox, and more. What sets the Daytona 675 apart from any other engine in the category is masses of bottom-end torque, linked to a heavy mid-range punch that’s topped with a searing burst of peak power. Whereas conventional 4-cylinder machines make virtually no torque below 8-10,000 RPM, the Daytona 675 pulls all the way from 3,000 RPM, which launches it out of corners harder than any other bike in the category.
The Scrambler is a redefinition of the off-road machines made famous by 60’s thrill seekers such as Steve McQueen. Very few motorcycles can claim to be unique but the Scrambler,  thanks to its authentic styling, is most certainly one of them. The flat seat, small headlight and single, round-faced speedometer mark its difference, likewise the pair of high-level exhaust pipes, each wearing an evocative heat shield.
A ‘do anything, go anywhere’ kind of bike, inspired in part by the relaxed culture of sunny California and in part by the stylishness of southern Europe, the Scrambler has been specifically developed for a group of riders currently underserved in the market.
While diverse in their demographics and riding experience these riders share the view that motorcycling is great fun, socially acceptable and a liberating experience. They desire a bike that’s easy to ride, with or without a passenger, in the rough and smooth parts of town or out and about on a longer jaunt. Added to this is a wish for the bike’s design to make a distinctive, personal statement that appeals to and is understood by both their biking and non-biking peers.
Very few motorcycles can claim to be unique but thanks to its authentic styling, the Scrambler is certainly one of them. The flat seat, small headlight and single speedometer help mark its difference as do the pair of upswept exhaust pipes. Only Triumph, with the brand’s strength and sense of its own history could credibly produce such a machine, creating a whole new niche in the process.
The Scrambler’s 865cc, DOHC, eight-valve, air-cooled engine uses a 270° crank firing interval for a smooth and torquey power delivery.
A whole range of Triumph Factory accessories will be available for the Scrambler, all of which enhance its looks and functionality. They include a skid plate to protect the underside of the engine, headlamp grill, number boards for the sides (obviously with no. 278 as an option), tachometer, handlebar brace and a single seat and rack. Two paint schemes – Caspian Blue/White and Tornado Red/White underscore its retro appeal.
