1974 YAMAHA MX175 DIRTBIKE - VIN 000127 This was the 26th one ever made!

This 1974 Yamaha MX175A was the 26th one ever built. Matching engine and frame numbers!It has been hidden away in a private collection for the past 20 years. Due to the volume of production we believe this bike was built in the first hour or two of production. VIN 455-000127 and the first model started with vin 455-000101Fuel tank is amazingly in near perfect condition (paint wise) and has a few bubbles on the bottom. The entire bike really is in incredible original condition. Engine is free and has compression. No spark. We found the flywheel key was sheared so we replaced. and also installed new pickup coil (old one was really in poor condition). Beyond this we have not done further work and I have since purchased a larger bike to ride. Not sure if it needs a new coil or just a wire unplugged. I am not capable of troubleshooting. The crossbar has been cut on this model but otherwise I see no other modifications. I have the shifter and left side engine cover. It was removed to replace flywheel key. Because of the RARE low production I have decided not to use for trail riding. and would rather see it lovingly put back to great original condition and appreciated by a Yamaha collector. Buyer responsible for shipping but I will assist in loading. Low reserve set. I want to see it preserved by someone who will appreciate it as a survivor!Never again will you see such a low serial number. What are the odds of a "first day" race bike remaining in this condition for the past 41 years??There is no title for dirt bikes so I will provide a bill of sale only.
