1979 Yamaha RD400F Daytona Special, immaculate condition

For auction a 1979 Yamaha RD400F-Dayton Special, 00cc two stroke twin, he first and only year the Daytona Special was produced for the U.S.,“The King of the two strokes.” I bought the bike 21 years ago.
It is box stock with a few exceptions: Expansion chambers by a previous owner; the kick stand was extended to fit under the pipes; the seat has been reupholstered (and is much more comfortable than the original); the horn needs a new switch:
Engine: This is a 2-stroke oil injected 400cc twin. The bike was thoroughly serviced in September (New plugs, oints and condenser; carbs and oil pump sync’ed, arbs cleaned,) and it starts first kick. It pulls and revs hard on the power band and that beautiful two stroke purr when idling. It dyno’ed at 48 HP (Stock is 40HP, he difference is in the expansion chambers). The battery was replaced two years ago. The engine has not been ported or polished. No mods what so ever, ave the chambers.
Body: The bike is in excellent original condition and the paint looks terrific. The gas tank has no dings or dents. The inside of the tank is perfect. The front fender has a small scuff. Minor scratches on the left chamber from the kick stand. The side cover for the oil tank has a slight oil stain. Overall the bikes paint and finish are in excellent condition.
Chassis: The condition of the frame and hardware is excellent. The bike rides perfect. The suspension is in great shape and the front brake pads may need new pads eventually. The chassis and engine numbers are identical: 2VO-002013

But don’t take my word for how amazing this motorcycle is:
“The Daytona Special was the last air-cooled street 2-stroke sold in the United States.
The bike ended up as a monument to the 2-stoke motorcycles that defined an era.”
“You can’t help but love it,” Cycle World proclaimed in a gush of enthusiasm. “The road test concluded that it was the closest thing the magazine had ever seen to a perfect motorcycle.”
