I had the Seat Professionally "Rebuilt from the Frame Up" and we Nearly completely dissembled this wonderful Bike & also Refinished most All of Her Main Components were cleaned, repainted and then my Mechanic and I re-assembled her "by hand" piece by piece.

The DT-1 YAMAHA 250 ENDURO is WORLD Famous for their RELIABILITY, DURABILITY, & Easy Simple Maintenance...She is definitely one of the All Time Worlds Best & Favorite Classic Vintage Japanese ENDURO's In Fact YAMAHA Started & Perfected the High Quality Japanese ENDURO for the Worlds PLEASURE !!!! These DT-1's are famous for: Always being a EASY to RIDE, SUPER FUN, Go Most Anywhere Bike ...for families ALL Around the World !!! When these bikes were made ,There was "No Other ENDURO Bike on EARTH that were as LOVED and were as POPULAR as the YAMAHA 250 DT-1 ENDURO" ! ! ! Her Odometer Shows only 4758 miles !!! & She was Last registered JANUARY 1973 ! ! ! & early in her life she has a "FACTORY YAMAHA REPLACEMENT ENGINE" ! ! ! ! As detailed in the next paragraph...

ENGINE) (This can Be Proven because these YAMAHA Replacement engines numbers are Factory Blank).. (My Mechanic & I disassembled Her Engines Top End Her Gaskets, Piston and Rings etc were either Recently replaced & or She has fairly low hours <<Please see click on pictures>> I was told her engine was replaced just a few hours before she was Placed in storage 30 -40 years ago) << Again Please see click on pictures>>...& YES! She RUNS GREAT & Has TONS of Compression & Starts Typically Super Quick & EASY !!!! as you can see her Rolling Chassis has just had a FRESH & Very Nice Cosmetic Restoration (As detailed above) & is just returning to service again & She Starts Well & is "Running Great" I personally think the more you run her the Better she will run ! Make No Mistake this Baby... Runs, Shifts & Rides & Stops GREAT ! & YES! She HAS TONS of LIFE Left in HER !

I designed this bike to look more like a Slightly Earlier 1968 YAMAHA 250 ENDURO (with the Red YAMAHA Badge) She has Brand New Style Gas Tank YAMAHA Re-issue Badges + Correct Style Oil Tank Graphics & 1968 Custom Made Pleated style seat etc etc...Therefore She is the Very Best of All Worlds ...Early Style Looks & With YAMAHA's FAR MORE COLLECTABLE FIRST GENERATION Piston Port Style Engine which I have been told over the years is "FAR More VINTAGE RACE-ABLE" ! ! ! !

This 1969 is the Very First (and Most Collectable) ORIGINAL Generation of the 1969-1971 (a 1969 YAMAHA DT1 ENDUROs Which a Nice Example as per NADA.com Value Guides a little under $7,000.00 ......($6,700.00 to be exact) But, I have been told they can sell for Far more than that if they are in particularly nice condition...So as you can see this Beauty is a BARGAIN for the Ridiculously Fair price that I have her listed for. She has SUPER LOW MILES and She Has a FACTORY REPLACEMENT ~1969 YAMAHA 250 ENGINE) ..& She has Spent nearly all of her Life in Covered Dry Storage !

Also, Please keep in mind that the slightly newer 1972-75 & Up YAMAHA 250 DT-1 ENDURO's are Worth "FAR LESS" (IE) 1972-75 DT-1 "Even in Excellent condition can NADA.com Value Guide for many times not much worth more than HALF as Much as a first Edition earlier 1968-1971 YAMAHA 250 ENDURO like this" !!!! ...& these Early Are More Vintage Race-able as well !

<<< PLEASE read this Entire Auction & also, Please Read this auctions Bidding Rules and Bidder requirements at the end of the auction before Bidding on this item...Also Please Note Buying this item requires a NON REFUNDABLE 500 US dollar Good Faith Deposit and the balance of All Funds need to be received by either Cash in Person or Via Bank to bank Wire transfer within 3 Business days of auction close, I will allow slightly more time for International Bank wires as I know they can take longer. >>>

* * PLEASE NOTE: I think this is a Very Good Running & very Nice looking Bike in very Nice Overall Condition...However, If you are looking for a Perfect Bike or a Vintage Show or Concourse show bike etc etc please look elsewhere as I feel this is just a Nice Looking & Great Running Bike that we are selling at about 1/2 of the NADA.com Book value is for a Nice Example of one of these Original FIRST Series Wonderful YAMAHA DT-1 250 ENDURO's ...So, if you are looking for a Great Looking Fun Go most Anywhere kind of bike ..These Early DT-1's Are Famous For Doing that... However, If you are a Nit Picker that for the most part "can't be pleased" & are looking for a near Perfect or High Point Concourse bike etc etc ...Please do everyone else involved in this Wonderful bikes Auction...Please do every Reasonable Person involved in this auction a "HUGE" favor & look elsewhere & Please save your money as what you think you are looking for or think you have to have ...typically a Concourse etc. Example of one of these early Year YAMAHA 250 DT-1 250 ENDURO's Can sell for something Far Closer to Around $10,000.00 Around here. However, If you have Achievable Expectations this may be a Great opportunity to get a Very Nice & SUPER FUN Great Running Bike for Peanuts that ...& it's value will most likely Continue to Keep going Up & Up the Next few years as these are Rapidly Becoming "Harder and Harder" to find in reasonably Nice condition like this Wonderful Bike.. <<<"Particularly Considering this Wonderful bike has been in Dry Storage for Approx. 30-40 years" >>>

Please Keep in Mind the cost of ownership and Cost of Maintenance for a Vintage Two Stroke is a "Very Small Fraction" of what a four stroke would cost to own"...These bikes are "SUPER SIMPLE" and nearly all of it's Normal maintenance can be done without any of the four strokes typical Specialized tools and the level Skill required is also FAR less...I have a HUGE Collection of Vintage Bikes and ALL are Air Cooled, Two Strokes...For Just that same Reason...Also, Parts are Very Available for these YAMAHA ENDUROs on ebay and Many other sites & Even the Dealers still sell Many of the the parts for these MAGNIFICENT DT-1 ENDURO's ! ! ! !

This bike has ALWAYS BEEN A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Bike !!! Which to collectors makes Her FAR More Desirable & Collectable (as we get almost no rain here at all, Typically Only about 2 to 3 inches a year...& in our area Most of the time not even that much) & the Temperatures are most of the time a Museum like 65 - 75 the Majority of the year.

......Again,These DT-1's are famous for: Always being a High Quality, Super Simple To Maintain, Durable , RELIABLE + EASY TO RIDE , FUN, Go Most Any Where Bike ...for families Around the World !!!

* * Lucky You.. can be the First New Owner Since this Bike has Just had a Beautiful Cosmetic Restoration ... This Wonderful Bike Starts Super Easy & Runs GREAT Her Clutch , Control cables & Brakes All work Great ! I had the Seat Professionally "Rebuilt from the Frame Up" and we Nearly completely dissembled this wonderful Bike & also Refinished most All of Her Main Components were cleaned, repainted and then my Mechanic and I re-assembled her "by hand" piece by piece. She has BOTH Front and Rear Dunlap tread style Trials Universal Style re-issue Tires ! & a PIRELLI Style Trials Universal Style re-issue Tires !

Again, This Magnificent Beauty Starts Great + Runs Amazing & She Shifts & Stops Excellent etc etc + all of her Control cables Brakes Etc Etc all seem to work Great as Well.

Her Prior owner used her very rarely and after several years re-purposed her for off-road use but, as you can see I re-installed all of her head lights etc again and if you want to run a battery I will be INCLUDING "FREE" a "BRAND NEW" battery for her... ! It looks like her Headlight & Taillights look to be present & look to be in fairly good Shape. But, I have not spent any time to figure out what it will take to get them working etc.as these are VERY VINTAGE RACE-Able bikes so there is a Very High Likelihood that this Beauty may end up as a Vintage Dirt Racer ??

* * Please Note * * Very Recently (December 2014) this auctions bikes' cousins (IE) that were also built by us side by side to this auctions bike) the other Two of our bikes <<This Bikes slightly smaller twin Brother >> a Vintage Racing 1978 RM 250 SUZUKI (Yellow) & also our 73 Tribute Vintage Racing ELSINORE CR 250 (Green / Aluminum) we Displayed at the "WORLDS LARGEST" MOTORCYCLE SHOW" (the Los Angeles Cycle World / Progressive Motorcycle Show, (Los Angeles, California Area)..in Our "Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Clubs" Booth earlier (December 6, 7 & 8th 2013). Look to the right of the 3rd pictures which shows a Local Los Angeles TV News Crew interviewing Our V.J.M.C. Clubs President (in the Red & White Shirt) on the Shows Opening day ! ! !

* * *PLEASE NOTE: Over the last three years we have shown "EIGHT" Vintage Motorcycles in the V.J.M.C. Booth At This Show Alone !!!!
<<as well as an Additional "FIFTEEN" of our other "Vintage Japanese Bikes" that we Showed at the Los Angeles Area October 2013 "IRWINDALE INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY" Classic / Vintage Bike Show (said to be "The Largest Motorcycle Vintage Show event in California") ...over the last two years>>

PLEASE NOTE:Above are 6 Pictures are "NOT" of this auctions bike but are of this bikes cousins (IE) (of the first 4 pictures..one =this auction's bikes cousin a 1978 RM 250 Brother) (IE) as above we also built these two other bikes we also built & cosmetically restored our other Vintage Racing: the (Yellow) 1978 SUZUKI RM 250's & the (Aluminum & Green) Vintage CR Elsinore 250 Vintage Race bike (Dec. 2014) we Displayed at the "WORLDS LARGEST" MOTORCYCLE SHOW" (the Cycle World / Progressive Motorcycle Show, (Los Angeles, California area)..in Our "Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Clubs" Booth earlier (December 2014). Also, The White & Black Suzuki Road Racer at the end of he row next to our VJMC clubs sign (3 bikes to the right of our yellow 250 RM Suzuki)... was one of two bikes of it's Exact type in Existence (a 700ccSquare 4 "Two Stroke" w/ 4 Rotary Valves..Yep ! She is a BREAST ! ) and I was told by most everyone there that she was Pretty much "Priceless" ! The two Bikes in between ours & this were two 4 Cylinder "Two Stroke" YAMAHA a GP 500 & a GP 700 like my Hero the GREAT Kenny Roberts became a WORLD CHAMPION on !!!

Here is some More GREAT NEWS ! I have the DMV Computer Print Out on This Wonderful Bike & She is 100% Free & Clear of any and all back fees, 100% Free & Clear of any and all back registrations & 100% Free & Clear of any and all back penalties as she has been in storage so long that she is 100% off the DMV system at this time. Included with This Wonderful Bike...I will be including a California DMV (NOTARIZED) "Transfer of Ownership" (Notarized, Equiv. of a Bill of Sale) from myself to you the new owner.. which from what I hear in neighboring states, should be what you need to register it if you live outside of California. ... If you just want to Vintage Race this bike... the DMV "Bill of Sale" is all you will need...Again, YES ! ..I will also include the California Department of Motor Vehicles Current DMV Computer Print Out on this Wonderful Bike that shows & Proves that because this Beauty was in Covered dry storage for the past aprox. THREE Decades & because of this... (after typically aprox. 7-8 years here in California) there are No current DMV Computer records (WHICH IS REALLY GOOD NEWS) on this Wonderful bike & therefore there should be NO back fees and NO back taxes etc etc. etc. owed on this Wonderful Dual Purpose 250cc YAMAHA ENDURO or Vintage racing Bike. If you live inside California & If you race Vintage Bike Meets on Private MotoCross Tracks or (Vintage Bike Shows etc) the Notarized Calif. DMV "Bill of Sale" is all you will need. If for some reason ..you want to go cow trail ridding on California etc Government National Forest Land etc land & feel you a may want a National Forest etc DMV "Green Sticker" Or if you want Licnese plates to be able to street legal ride this Wonderful Dual Purpose Beauty...My Vehicle Registration Office said that because this bike had been in covered storage for many years (Approx. the last 3 decades) therefore if you live here in California & feel for some reason you want or feel you need a California Forestry Land Green sticker (to ride in Government Forest etc land) Again ...it will be Easy because this bike is currently 100% off the DMV Computer books & therefore there will be NO back fees NO Back License fees, & NO BAck Taxes etc etc (Again, Typically here in Calif.. after about 8 years DMV records fall off the DMV Computers) (This Wonderful Bike has been in Dry Storage for DECADES) and Again, this California National Forest sticker is not required or Current Calif License Tags are not usually required for MX & Other Race tracks and also NOT required for Vintage Bike & Classic Car Shows etc etc etc here in California & a California Nat. Forest Green sticker is not required if you live out of state etc etc etc)....& YES! ...she is all ready to transfer into your name ..In Calif. if you have current street tags you have to have ongoing Insurance on a Licensed so that is why most collectors allow their collection bikes to fall off the DMV Computers...& it is a Fairly Easy Process to get a vehicle back on the street again if that is what you want to do with her....

<<< & YES! She has her Vintage Blue California Plate on her as I was planning to put this Beautiful bike in a upcoming Vintage bike show

To my eye ...I think She looks Great ! ...I have always been very Proud of this Particularly Beautiful YAMAHA 250 cc DT-1 ENDURO Vintage Bike ...& Even Nearly HALF a CENTURY LATER in (Nearly 2017) She LOOKS GREAT & She Starts Quick & Runs & Shifts & Stops ...GREAT ! ..as these YAMAHA 250 DT-1 ENDURO's are Famous for being Super Easy Starting + Dependable & Very Reliable & DURABLE Bikes That unlike many other Vintage Bikes Are a True "JOY to Own" ! ..& Vintage Racing Enthusiasts & Everyone I have ever meet seem to be in Total agreement that .... "These YAMAHA 250 DT-1 Bikes are GREAT & also many people use these for Vintage Racing ! & Quite Possibly These are without Question one of the Very Most FUN , DURABLE, RELIABLE & All Purpose Use-able Bikes I have ridden in the past FIVE decades Since the late 1950's !" ((...& in the late 1960's & 1970's I was a contributing "Technical Editor" for "CYCLE NEWS" Magazine (at that time it was the Largest Motorcycle Publication on EARTH ! ! !)) & I wrote "FOURTEEN" Four to Five Page Featured Technical Articals for "CYCLE NEWS" Magazine ....& Also, I was also a Four+ Year Sponsored *750 Open Class* Mainly "TT" & some "Half Mile" Sponsored Racer for "BULTACO" Motorcycles (Mostly on a 360 cc "El Bandito" Two Stroke !!!! ) in 1968 to 1973 So ...No One Loves a TRULY Great "Two Stroke" Dirt Bike ...like this YAMAHA 250 DT-1 ENDURO ...more than Me ! ....and again ........If you Pass Up this Wonderful Bike where will you ever find a YAMAHA 250 ENDURO with a fairly Low Hour Engine & Chassis and also so little use & abuse on Her ! ????? ?????? This is a Bike that I think most any rider could Have "BIG FUN" ridding all day long On ! These YAMAHA ENDURO Bikes Are Super Versatile & can Be Ridden on the Freeway & possible more importantly also feel almost as nimble & Well balanced as some Trails Dirt & Trail Bikes

Most everyone I have talked with agrees these First & Early Edition 250 YAMAHA DT-1's have hands down Always been considered "The Worlds Most Popular as well as one of the Worlds BEST Production Dual Purpose ENDURO bikes ..& YAMAHA has Long Been known for their GREAT RELIABILITY + FUN EASY of Maintenance & also HANDLING, DURABILITY, Solid "BULLET PROOF" Construction, AMAZING Performance , Durability + Trouble Free, Reliability. The Compared to many bikes with the Power & Displacement of this Wonderful Bike these YAMAHA 250 DT-1 ENDURO's are considered by Experts to be one of the Easiest to own & to get parts for & Best Constructed and Truly VINTAGE CLASSIC ENDURO bikes "EVER MADE" & I also think one of the Most Most Rider Friendly & "FUN" Bikes Made in this Era or any Era !!! & this beautifully Cosmetically Restored YAMAHA 250 DT-1 is BY FAR one of the Most Evolved & SUPER USEABLE Early Successful "HIGH QUALITY JAPANESE CLASSIC ENDURO Bikes ("in 1968-69 when these where first Issued..This Super Practical & FUN Bike was "ROCKET SCIENCE" that "Really Worked GREAT " ! ! ! ), Very Simple less hassle far more Reliable More Trouble Free Air Cooled (FAR Better & Far less problems than the later early water cooled YAMAHAs Etc ..I have heard) (this being one of the last years of these First ISSUE 1969-71 250cc DT-1 ENDURO's she is the Perfect Bike Further Perfected being by YAMAHA (These SUPER SIMPLE Air Cooled Super FUN "TWO STROKEs" Unlike most other Vintage Bikes Are Typically always ready to have Fun With !!! ) .

This AMAZING Bike Starts Easy & RUNS GREAT ! .. and I think she has what looks to be her her Original 1971 YAMAHA 250 DT-1 Gas tank that still looks to in GREAT Condition with a Brand New White with Black striped paint & YAMAHA style reissue style Tank EMBLEMS & Striping etc etc. ! Again, Her Gas Tank has been Newly refinished & Painted as are Both her Original Rear & nonOriginal Front Fenders, also her rims, spokes, shocks, Wheel hubs & Backing plates etc etc have all also been refinished & or Painted and I think look Nice. Her rear Shocks are her Original 1969 DT-1 Shocks which have been disassembled and cleaned and seem to work well however the dampeners may need to be restored... She has her front Original DUNLAP "TRAILS UNIVERSAL" Tread style pattern tires Her Rear Tire is a Reissue Almost "BRAND NEW" High Quality PIRELLI Rear Back Tire !!!... YES ! the gas tank Graphics have been replaced with what looks to be ORIGINAL New Old Stock or Incredibly Nice Graphics that look GREAT to me to the & Look very Much like the YAMAHA Graphics that YAMAHA installed back when this bike was Brand New ! The inside of her tank is Clean looks GREAT.as do Her Handlebars, Pegs, Shifter, She has Brand Newly painted & refinished Alloy Fork Tubes etc etc & her Rubber & Chrome Fork Boots look good & New Handlebar Grips ! Also, brake levers etc etc are still in overall Nice Condition ! The Shifter and Brake levers look & Work Great ! Her Frame VIN serial number (+ or _ a couple of Digits is : DT1 63225

This Beauty has been in Covered Dry storage for Many Years 30-40 (( & particularly recently She was in Covered storage for the past 3-4 DECADE's)) & according to her prior owned she has a fairly LOW HOUR Engine (& some time since this bike was New She has a NEW Factory YAMAHA Replacement (Warranty replacement??) ENGINE) (This can Be Proven because these YAMAHA Replacement engines numbers are Factory Blank). (My Mechanic & I disassembled Her Engines Top End Her Gaskets, Piston and Rings etc were either Recently replaced & or She has fairly LOW hours ago just before she was Placed in storage 30 -40 years ago)...& YES! She RUNS GREAT & Has "TONS" of Compression & Starts Typically Super Quick !!!! as you can see her Rolling Chassis has just had a FRESH & Very Nice Cosmetic Restoration (As detailed above) & is just returning to service again & She Starts Well & is "Running Great" I personally think the more you run her the Better she will run ! Make No Mistake this Baby... Runs, Shifts & Rides & Stops GREAT ! & YES! She HAS TONS of LIFE Left in HER !

* * * Again.... Think About it , if You pass this Baby Up .....where else will you ever find a First ORIGINAL Series YAMAHA 250 DT-1 ENDURO Looking anywhere near this Nice with so little Use & Abuse on her ! ! ! ???????????????????????

This Wonderful Bike has Very Low Hours on Her Replaced & or Rebuilt Engine (as described above) and I can Tell you compared to several of these 1969 YAMAHA DT-1 250 ENDURO's I have ever owned in prior decades ...this Beautiful Bike Starts Easier and Runs FAR Better than most any other YAMAHA 250 ENDURO I have Owned !!!! This was Owned by an older gentleman & his family for many years that figured out decades ago due to some health issues...that he was just a little too old for a Ride as Spirited as this AMAZING Beauty !!! She was always in a Nice Dry Storage in a Nice Dry Garage for nearly a Decade. Once we flushed the tank & Carburetor + put in fresh gas & She started right up, Super Quickly ! ! ! ! ! ! !) We Disassembled Cleaned and Inspected most all of her & replaced the Gear Box Oil with Brand New High Quality Trans Oil, My mechanic & I completely washed out & Flushed + Rebuilt her carburetor and & her Fuel Tank & Fuel Shut off Valve etc.. & will include a Brand New High Quality Fuel Lines etc...& Every time we have run this Beautiful Bike over the past few weeks She has been running Better & Better "The Engine Runs Great and compared to any other YAMAHA 250 I have ever owned She Typically Starts SUPER Easy & Has GREAT POWER !!!! ...She runs "GREAT" & Shifts Well thru the gears.. & Stops GREAT !!!! .

Hi, Everyone...I Have had a lot of emails this morning asking me about Shipping Quotes...To get a Good & or Very Fair Deal on Shipping ..I would get as many Quotes as possible...Otherwise, you will pay Way Too Much...I would try Uship.com where shippers Competitively bid to get your Shipping business. To do this properly, Get as Many Competitive Rates as you can (so you will know when a fair rate presents it'self).......& also to protect yourself. YOU need to get the quotes yourself ...& Therefore...(IE) you will need to get your own quotes for shipping, I believe ebay my have a shipping service for vehicles... also, UShip.com is very competitive if you take your time & get plenty of shipping Bids for this ... * * About a year ago Someone bought my 1975 400 Yamaha Enduro (which Weights I think a little more than this Wonderful Bike) & the YAMAHA 400 Enduro cost about $ 325 to go from here (Los Angeles, Calif.) to North Carolina. & a 400 YAMAHA IT ENDURO to Florida went for under $ 300...PLEASE NOTE: My Home is a GREAT Place to get a Shipping Quote From !!! (IE) I live just ~5 Miles North of the Los Angeles (Long Beach) Harbor (LA IS THE LARGEST SHIPPING PORT IN THE WORLD") & ~8 Miles South of the Los Angeles "Commercial District".. so "EVERY DAY A Zillions ("MANY") Trucks".. Leave this area to go to the Entire rest of the Country ...(IE) all you need to do is find a truck that has a little extra space & Trust me their Rates will be FAR Better than someone that the is no where near this area & trip is not on their way & or Not Convenient for them or ??? . Therefore, the more Quotes you get the Better the Shipping Rate will be to your home (So "YES" get lots of Quotes). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Art & Diane Ridderhof P.S. be sure to tell Each Shipper that this is a fairly "LIGHT" weight bike (I believe, approx. 250 pounds) dual purpose bike and NOT a 700+ pound Harley etc. (TANK) or something (IE) Trust Me.."Mentioning that Fact will Save you a lot of Money") ...I live in Long Beach /Lakewood California Zip = 90808
