Yamaha Other description

This is an absolutely beautiful example of a 1976 Yamaha DT2 Enduro.
This is what they looked like when they rolled off the showroom floor.
The '76 model was the last year of the twin shock, 250cc enduro and the
final evolution of a legendary motorcycle lineup that began with
Yamaha's Big Bear 250 in 1968. This motorcycle is absolutely complete --
right down to the turn signals, rear view mirror, tool kit and tires.
It has a clear title. Professionally restored and meant to be ridden,
not stuck away in a museum.
This bike was a one-owner, family motorcycle and only ridden 4100 original miles. But, for safety and reliability purposes, this motorcycle has undergone a frame-up restoration, with almost all original parts still intact. The engine has been completely renewed and serviced with new seals and gaskets. Fork seals have been replaced as well as the clutch cable, air filter, headlight bulb, stoplight bulb and turn signal bulbs. A new seat cover was also installed. The frame and metal components were painted. Other than that, this bike is all original. The wheels, exhaust, forks, shocks, electrical components and all other hardware were in excellent condition and re-installed on the bike after close inspection and servicing. The lights, speedometer and tachometer are original and work well. This is something you rarely see on bikes like this, because so many were stripped and converted to dirt bikes or raced off-road. This bike starts first kick and runs strong. When I was younger, I had many opportunities to ride new DT2s of this vintage and it runs just like a new one did over 40 years ago. I've had it up to 60 mph, but with the original tires, I didn't want to go any faster. I have a new set of tires that go with the bike, but many collectors prefer to have the original tires so I left them on. The only issue with the bike is the reset knob on the odometer is missing (a very common problem with all Yamahas of this vintage). I have one somewhere in my batch of Yamaha parts, but I haven't located it yet. If you are thinking about a dual purpose bike for buzzing around town or sticking on the back of your camper. This is perfect -- especially if you're a lightweight rider who would prefer a great-performing mid-sized bike over a much heavier and more expensive bike. Also great for a novice rider. Why spend $6k for a new dual-purpose bike when you can have an attention-getting classic that is virtually new, for much less. Buyer is responsible for delivery. I will work with buyer's shippers to ensure bike is picked up and safely loaded. |

Motorcycle Live and a few of my favourite things for 2013
Tue, 27 Nov 2012There is lots of shiny new metal on show at Motorcyclelive this year but for me it’s the new Triumph Daytona 675 that steals the show. We’ve been starved of brand new models in the Supersports segment for years but for me the latest Trumpet has made the wait worthwhile. And if its performance matches its looks then I reckon the 2013 bike of the year is a foregone conclusion. The sleek curvy nose contrasts perfectly with the more pointy angular rear end and new side mounted silencer. It is lighter, more powerful and revs harder with much work on on mass centralisation to further improve handling. Few of us have a whole lot of spare cash these days but £8899 for the standard model seems a fair price for such an awesome bike. That said I’d have to consider selling the granny and granddad to find the extra £1700 for the 675R. Available early next year, and surely the perfect all round track day tool, this beauty comes with upgraded suspension, brakes, ABS, a quickshifter and some nice carbon detailing. The white 675R on display at the show looked even better in the flesh than previous images I’d seen so be careful or you might find yourself handing over a deposit. With no money left from the Triumph stand you’ll need your six special numbers to come up for my second favourite show item the AGV Pista GP Project 46. Although road legal this extremely light, full carbon helmet is designed especially for racing with a huge field of vision, extensive ventilation and superb ergonomics. It also comes with earplugs which suggests there may be some compromise in the noise department but it is still an incredible piece of engineering. At £799, this special Pista is also an incredible price but there will only be one hundred available and Raceways Yamaha reckon they are going fast.
James Toseland Announces Retirement from Racing
Fri, 09 Sep 2011Two-time World Superbike Champion James Toseland announced his immediate retirement from motorcycle racing due to a debilitating injury to his right wrist. Signed with the BMW Motor Italia racing team, Toseland has been limited to just seven of 20 races in this season’s WSBK Championship due to the wrist injury initially suffered during a private test at Spain’s Aragon circuit in March. After undergoing an operation for the injury, Toseland made two attempts at returning to racing, first at the Miller Motorsports Park round in May and again at the Silverstone round in July.
