Original Crated Pair of Yamaha 1993 TW 200's California Editions-58 & 98 Actual Miles
Nevada Hoarder Estate Garage Find - All Original Crated Pair of 1993 Yamaha TW 200's
Originally purchased from a southern California Yamaha dealer in April of 1994 this pair was delivered to Nevada still in the crate where they were assembled buy a retired Yamaha mechanic. On the first day the original owner and his wife took them for a ride in the desert area between their home and the shore of Lake Mead where Rangers pulled them over and cited them with 2 tickets of $1000 each for riding on protected federal land and in 1994 $1000 was a BIG ticket ! The owners were so disgusted the bikes were parked in the garage where they sat for the next 2 plus decades
21+ Years hidden in a 7000 square foot Estate inBoulder City Nevadaon the shore of Lake Mead inside a climate controlled garage hidden under a mountain of stuffed animals that filled up an entire bay of a 4 bay garage almost 6 feet deep!!! Discovered in early 2015 when the estate was being prepared for sale.
Once the bikes were re-discovered a local Yamaha mechanic installed new batteries and cleaned the fuel system including new gas tank fuel petcocks and fuel lines. They used aftermarket petcocks and fuel lines which work fine but I ordered brand new OEM Genuine Yamaha petcocks fuel lines and all other parts to do a complete refresh of the carbs but I have not installed those parts yet
All original sale documents including the original Bill of Sale(s) from the California Yamaha Dealer the MSO's (MSO = Manufacturers Statement of Origin) signed off by and still in the original California Yamaha Dealer's name and numerous original pictures taken in 1994 showing the delivery uncrating and assembly of the TW's
Each TW includes the two factory Yamaha keys and the original owners manuals in pristine condition
Never titled and never licensed in any state but they are original California TW's so they can be licensed in all 50 states
The 58 mile TW is nearly perfect cosmetically I can find no blemishes
The 98 mile TW has some superficial scratches on the left side engine cover (they are vertical and likely from a boot) and what appears to be a tiny swipe of white paint near the back of the seat as if they bike was near a painting project and a brushed just barely touched it. I have made no attempt to try and remove the paint. The fuel tank has several very small paint chips (???) or fish eye like paint defects that may be there from the factory or possibly a tiny drop of paint thinner etc was dropped on it at one time (please see the pictures as all these minor issues are visible but they are very minor so you have to look extremely close)
Free delivery in the Western States once paid in full. Washington Oregon Idaho Nevada California or Arizona
