you are bidding on a 1985 yamaha rz500.  it is somewhat rare in the U.S.  it is a 500cc v4 two stroke.  if you are looking at this ad, you already know this.  i am selling my pride and joy because the wife wants a new kitchen and doesn't want to take out a loan.  if you are married you understand.  i bought this bike in 1986 from a midwestern dealer who had brought it into the country and had it on display it the dealership window.  it had 300 km on it when i bought it and it now has aprox 8800 km.  it spends the winter(oct-may) in my den.  i have done a few upgrades over the years. i grafted on a complete R1 brake system  with adapter by nigil kimber.   i installed jim lomas titanium/carbon exhaust with an ivans jet kit,  a race tail with custom subframe  and  of course a custom paint job(i always like the JPS paint scheme).  it has new bt14 tires in the correct 16/18 tire sizes.  all removed parts are included plus some spares i accumilated  over the years( see pictures). please do not ask to buy individual parts.  it has a clean florida title.  the only configuration change is the bike now has an  LSL superbike bar kit(i'm old).  if the winning bidder wants it returned to clipons, i will do this , no problem. i really don't want to sell this as i know i will never be able to replace  it but swmbo is REALLY in charge. as this is a 28 year old motorcycle, there is no warrenty implied or otherwise.  shipping is on the winning bidder.  vehicle will not be released untill funds clear my bank.  you will not be disappointed.  happy bidding
