Description
I am very sorry about ending the previous auction. I listed the bike in the incorrect location and could not edit the auction. So I have relisted the auction and made it a 7 day auction, hich was the amount of time left in the initial auction.
1974 Yamaha YZ250 Tank Strap Bike. If you are looking at this bike then I am sure you already know the history of these bikes and that these bikes were hand built in the Yamaha factory to compete with the Honda CR250M Elsinore bikes in the day. All of the original bolts have the counter sunk heads to reduce weight. Aluminum D.I.D. Rims, ice and straight. No cracks in the motor case or the frame just a clean old original bike, lease look at all of the pictures. The bike still has the original rear shocks and a un-molested original swing arm, lmost un-heard of. The tank is nice and straight and someone wrote their nick name, FLASH", n the front of it in a magic marker or something. It appears that it could be removed easily with some compound or thinner but this is for the next owner to worry about. The fuel cap is loose and the threads in this plastic cap are worn out and it does not tighten up. I have a new fuel cap that I will attempt to locate before the end of the auction. Bike starts up on the 3rd kick and sound healthy. I purchased this bike about 10 years ago and is has been stored in my dry climate controlled warehouse for the duration. How you see the bike is how I bought the bike, do not have any extra parts that are not shown in the pictures. I am not an expert on these vintage Race bikes but I do know that this bike is EXTREMELY hard to locate in this original condition. If you need any other pictures, lease let me know. I will not build a crate for shipping but you more than welcome to come by and personally inspect this bike before purchase. There will be a $500.00 deposit required within 30 minutes of the end of the auction and then the balance will need to be paid for with Bank Wire of certified check. If a check is used then as soon as the check has cleared, he bike is yours, ash in person works as well. This is an old race bike and I make no claims about the amount of hours that are on this bike, do not know and will not make any assumptions but the bike is all there and start and runs well. No warrantee on this bike, hich I am sure that anyone familiar with these original vintage race bikes understands. I have my other vintage MX bikes that I will be listing as well. All in original condition; 1973 CR250M, 975 KX250, 973 TM400, 974 YZ125 Tank strap (restored). I also have about 30 other vintage bikes that will be sold as well. Street bikes to Enduros, ost all are Originals and some are EXTREMELY CLEAN AND RARE, riginal bikes with very low miles. Any questions just give me a call or shoot me an email, sk for Lyle, 03-509-2727
A couple of notes here. 1) all of these bikes that I am selling have been sitting in storage for years and they will all need to be tuned and carb cleaning. 2) I do not have titles for the dirt bikes, ILL OF SALE ONLY.
