1983 YAMAHA WHITE

Selling my much loved XT 550. I've owned her for four years and restored her to her former glory. She has been stripped down to the frame which has been stove enamelled and rebuilt using genuine Yamaha parts where possible. (I would say that she is 95% genuine). The tank. side panels and mud guards have all been resprayed with new decals on the tank and side panelsThis bike was imported in 2000. the engine number and frame number match. The engine has not been rebuilt as there was no need. the compression is good and every thing works as it should. These engines are bullet proof!!  Apart from the carbs being cleaned and rebuilt and a service. the engine remains untouched (to be fair it would benefit from a spray job).  I have also had a bespoke exhaust manifold made so that is brand new. the rear exhaust is original. I bought a second hand speedo as the original one was in kilometres and that had 44. 90 on it so the bike has covered approximately 28. 00 miles. I have a few old MOT's which can verify the mileage. As you can see from the photos she is very tidy and comes with the original tool bag.  To finish her off properly she does need to have the wheels re-spoked not that they are damaged. but just a bit scruffy. The reason for selling is to buy my daughter her first car.  Willing to consider part exchange with small engine car. so if you have something suitable. please contact me to discuss. Please remember this bike is over 30 yrs old so is not in show room condition. but is in very good condition and rides wellThe MOT runs out in in June but I'm willing to put on a 12 month MOT which will take a couple of days' the bike has only covered about 50 miles since the last MOT. Cash or bank transfer on collection please. For any more more information please contact me.
