Yamaha RT1 description

No Reserve Auction

1970 Yamaha RT1; beautiful survivor with 4803 miles. No Reserve.

Two Owner (one owner for 35 years) Street Legal Dual Sport Enduro. Clear Colorado Title. It has been well cared for. This is a great running, mostly original, unrestored example of a very collectible bike. Its hard to find an RT1 in this shape. Every time I take it out someone stops me and wants to talk about it.

Starts first kick every time, no leaks anywhere, idles even, no smoke, shifts great, pulls hard, and has a ton of compression. It can be hazardous to kick without boots. It has no cylinder pressure release valve. Oil injection system is working. Speedometer and odometer have no fade and work as they should. Brakes work great. Both tires are in good shape with no dry rot. Tank cleaned by Colorado Radiator Service here in Denver. Inline fuel filter added. Case oil is fresh. The rubber and chrome are original and in great shape. No rust anywhere. There are scratches and two small dents in the tank. There is no rust in the tank. The seat has some cracking on the left rear side. The only issues are: the shocks are original and the bike blows bulbs in the gauges and rear brake light. I put a new battery in it so its probably the voltage regulator. The rear brake light assembly and front fender are period correct but not original. It is missing the turn signals.

Bid with confidence. I have sold several motorcycles and pinballs on ebay to happy customers. If you have any questions please send me a private message and I will give you my phone number.

Shipping costs and arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. I don't mind holding the bike for a while once it is paid for. I realize it takes time to make shipping arrangements and I want to make this an easy experience for the buyer. No international shipping.

Bike is for sale locally. I reserve the right to cancel the auction early.

Payment is due within 3 days of the auction ending. $300 Deposit due 24 hours after auction close. I will accept the balance of payment in the following ways. Paypal, cash in person, USPS money orders, or certified bank check.

Thanks for looking,

Bill Grodeska

Yamaha Officially Announces Monster Energy Sponsorship

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

As we reported in December, energy drink producer Monster Energy has signed a sponsorship agreement with Yamaha‘s factory MotoGP program, putting its brand on the Yamaha YZR-M1 race bikes, team clothing and equipment, as well as riders Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi. Monster Energy already had a personal sponsorship deal with Rossi but the company will now also sponsor Lorenzo. The reigning MotoGP Champion had previously had a sponsorship arrangement with rival energy drink company RockStar, but Yamaha exercised a clause in its contract with Lorenzo allowing a buy out of the RockStar deal as it conflicts with the team’s sponsor.
