    Up for grabs is a beautifully restored 1972 Yamaha DT2-MX, The 1972 DT2MX was the first Yamaha model designed strictly for the motocross market. The DT2MX came standard with reed valve induction, a CDI ignition with button-mag and Yamaha’s Autolube system, which automatically mixed oil with the gas. Most serious racers removed the Autolube system and ran pre-mix as a safety measure.

      For sale is my 1972 Yamaha DS7 with an RD350 engine.   This project has been a labor of love for several years.  I am 57 years old and an enthusiast and I love building as much as riding.  It's simply time for a new project.  All work, including paint, was completed by me with the exception of crank bearings and bore/hone.  As a qualifier, I won MotoGP tickets in a Yamaha USA contest with this bike and First Place Yamaha Restoration for another project at the largest west coast two-stroke event in 2011.  The story:  Purchased as a runner in rough condition, I began the project with a complete disassemble and cleaning.  Then: -          Sandblasted and painted frame and brackets with PJ1 gloss black -          Replaced forks with “Forks by Frank” units – they are perfect. -          Replaced swing arm bushings with brass units. -          Progressive Suspension rear shocks -          “Gunfighter” seat cushion and cover from Nebraska (no Viet Nam) -          Like new seat pan and hinges -          Light weight and sealed battery -          Wiring harness is 100% original and clean with no cuts or mods.
