Yamaha Other description

Previously listed as a 1978 YZ 80 (that's what I was told by the guy I got it from), but I've been informed by my fellow Ebay-ers that this is a late 70's, early 80's, YAMAHA MX 100.

Bike is currently in a non-running state. The gentleman I purchased it from in July of 2016 told me it ran last summer. 
The engine is NOT seized; it has good compression. I drained the old oil and gas and put in new oil and a new plug, but then I discovered the next part....(keep reading)

The gas tank is rusted and leaks. It will need to be refurbished. I'll throw in the petcock but it looks shot.
The exhaust is held on by bailing wire. The rear fend has rust. 

The front fender was original but it was shattered into so many pieces that tape was necessary to hold it all together. Basically, underneath all the tape is the original, albeit shattered, fender.

This is a good bike for a potential restoration project. Check out the pics. 
What you see is what you get. Bike is sold in as is condition. I just don't have any time to mess with it as a project.

***I do NOT have a TITLE for this bike. Frankly I don't even know if these had titles. Either way, you've been made aware.***

LOCAL PICKUP ONLY IN THE SEATTLE WA AREA. Please do not ask me to ship it.
What you see is what you get. Bike is sold in as is / as described condition.

Master Of Torque: Motorcycle Anime By Yamaha Final Installment

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

If you’re into motorcycles, big, puppy dog eyes, dramatic Japanese dialogue with English subtitles, and subliminal Yamaha references then check out Master of Torque, Yamaha’s original anime series. The final installment in the three-part series is set to release tomorrow. Set in Tokyo, Japan in the year 2017, three years before the city’s hosting of the 2020 Olympic Games, the show focuses on the exploits of three young motorcyclists and highlights Yamaha’s FZ-09 and FZ-07.

Lorenzo And Rossi Unveil Yamaha MotoGP 2014 Livery

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Yamaha’s official MotoGP outfit unveiled the team’s official 2014 livery in front of a packed audience in Jakarta, Indonesia. The team’s two factory riders, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi, were on hand to proudly showcase their YZF-M1 motorcycles. As expected, blue, Yamaha’s factory color, plays a major role in the color scheme, but unlike last year where it was the dominant color, it is equally offset by contrasting white swaths on the upper fairing, fuel tank, and throughout the lower fairing.

Motocross Pioneer Pierre Karsmakers Elected To AMA Motorcycle Hall Of Fame

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Pierre Karsmakers, one of the first European motocross champions to bring his expertise to America, has been elected to the AMA Motorcycle Hall Of Fame Class of 2014. A three-time motocross champion in his native Holland, Karsmakers came to the United States to gain wider exposure and attract the attention of the Japanese motorcycle makers. “All the Japanese (sponsorship) contracts were going to Belgian riders,” Karsmakers said.
