Yamaha YZ description
Here is the story on this bike: I’m 62
years old. I retired from my job a few
years ago. I thought that I might try a
little post-vintage racing. My wife and
I recently went to a race and, while we were watching, we saw a +70 rider take
a dirt nap in the first turn. My wife
turned to me and said, “See that! You
always used to land on your head when you crashed. I think you’ve had enough concussions from
the last time you tried motorcycle racing.” To which I replied, “What’s your
name, again?” (True story) So, here is my would-be post-vintage racer for
sale. It is a 1979 YZ 250. I have owned this bike for a number of years,
and only ridden up and down my driveway a couple of times (Making the video
made three times.). I put a new piston
and ring in it when I got it, and replaced a lot of parts. It has been sitting in my garage since
then. Here is a partial list of the new
parts: New Fork Seals, New Fork Wipers, New Front Tire, New Front
Fender, New Pro Taper
Handlebars, New Front Brake
Cable, New Throttle
Cable, New Clutch
Cable, New Front Brake
Lever, New Clutch
Lever, New Grips, New Piston and
Rings (less than an hour on the new top end), New Front Number
Plate, New Side Panels, New Rear Fender, New Rear Tire, New Air Filter, New Wide
Footpegs. The
frame and cases were painted with automotive urethane based paint (it won’t
peel off when gas is spilled on it).
Hubs were painted with black enamel.
The bike also has an after-market pipe, and a period correct DG
silencer. The wheels are in good condition as is the suspension. The graphic on the tank is probably as old as
the bike and has more wear and ripples than are evident in the photos.
The bike is fast (too fast for me), and ready to race. (To see the bike running, check out the
Youtube video: https://youtu.be/VIS0qvww_iw Video was taken the day
before I listed the bike.)
