This 1970 is the Very First (and Most Collectable) Generation of the 1969-1971 YAMAHA DT1 ENDUROs Which a Nice Example as per NADA.com Value Guides is worth about $5,000.00 So as you can see this Beauty is a BARGAIN for the Ridiculously Fair price that I have her listed for.
Also, Please keep in mind that the slightly newer 1973-75 YAMAHA 250 DT-1 ENDURO's are Worth "FAR LESS" (IE) 1973-75 DT-1 "Even in Excellent condition can NADA.com Value Guide for many times worth more than HALF as Much as a first Edition earlier 1968-1972 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 / Early 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 go 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 bike has been in Dry Storage since ~1984-5" >>>
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 and reassembled her "by hand" piece by piece. She has BOTH Front and Rear Dunlap tread style Trials Universal Style re-issue Tires ! & a Rear "BRAND NEW" re-issueTrials Universal Style re-issue Tires !
Again, This Magnificent Beauty Starts Great + Runs Amazing & She Shifts 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 you can get a "BRAND NEW" battery for her as well the last one I bought was only about $20 to 25 US D... ! It looks like her lights & her handle bar controls look to be present & look to be in fairly good Shape. But, I have not spent any time to figure out if the lights are working etc.as these are Vintage Race-able bikes so there is a Very High Likelihood that this Beauty may end up as a Vintage Dirt Racer ??

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. 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 Calif) 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 early 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 in 2016 (Nearly 2017) She LOOKS GREAT & She Starts Quick & Runs & Shifts & Stops ...GREAT ! ..as these YAMAHA 250 DT-1  ENDURO's are 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 Useable 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 & I was also a Four+ Year Sponsored  *750 Open Class* Mainly "TT" & some "Half Mile" Sponsored Racer for "BULTACO" Motorcycles (on a 360 cc "El Bandito" Two Stroke !!!! ) in 1968 to 1974 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 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

This AMAZING Bike Starts Easy & RUNS GREAT ! .. and I think she has what looks to be her her Original 1972 YAMAHA 250 DT-1 Gas tank that still looks to in GREAT Condition with a Brand New "CANDY TANGERINE PEARL" 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 very Nice. Her rear Shocks are her Original 1972 DT-1 Shocks which have been disassembled and cleaned and seem to work well however their dampeners need to be restored... She has Two Original DUNLAP "TRAILS UNIVERSAL" Tread style pattern tires Her Rear Tire is a Reissue "BRAND NEW" High Quality 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 is :

This Beauty has been in Covered storage for Many Years (( & particularly recently She was in Covered storage for the past DECADE))  & according to her prior owned she has a fairly LOW HOUR Engine (Her Gaskets, Piston and Rings etc were replaced fairly low hours ago just before she was Placed in storage ~1984-85)...& YES! She RUNS GREAT !!! 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 ! 

* * * Again.... Think About it , if You pass this Baby Up .....where else will you ever find a 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 Rebuilt Engine (as described above) and I can Tell you compared to several of these 1972 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 heath 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  ! ! ! ! ! ! !)

 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 (562) 420-9023 P.S. be sure to tell Each Shipper that this is a fairly "LIGHT" weight bike (I believe, a bit over 200 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

Richard's '88 Tenere resto project

Tue, 18 Jan 2011

There’s a lot of it about at this time of year, brought on, no doubt, by excessive exposure over the Festive Season to the temptations of eBay. Buying old nails with a view to restoration, that is. Wilfing away over the New Year, I spotted for sale a bike that, when new, I really fancied.
