1968 Yamaha DT1

The Bike That Started It All!!!

I don't sell much on eBay...but when I do, it is usually something really cool! This Vintage 1968 Yamaha DT1 is no exception!!!

Over the past 4 years, I have meticulously brought this bike back to it's former glory. The Vintage Parts Sellers online know me by first name as I have purchased so many hard to find Vintage parts to make this bike near new. I downsized recently so I was not able to replace the rims and tires...which I have but have not found yet! Moving is a B----!

The Super Size Pics tell it all. Now for the real story...

This bike was delivered to Yamaha of Fort Walton Beach, FL in 1968 shortly after the Smith Brothers came back from Japan touring the Yamaha production facility. As a 15 year old...we used to ride these on the beach here...it is illegal to do so now. I remember how Smith ripped and rode this machine. It was amazing when compared to my Yamaha 180 Street Scrambler! It was the first real off-road motorcycle that started the Craze in North America.

I have brought the bike back from it's former glory and as you can see from the pics...I really drilled down deep to make it look this fantastic! It will often start on the first or second kick. The bike has too many NOS parts to list but just take a hard look.

I have provided a link to my dropbox where you can see all the pics I took. I am a private eBayer like most of you and do my best to answer questions promptly.

It is going to be a EARLY CHRISTMAS for some lucky eBayer! Zero feedback eBayers NOT ALLOWED so don't bother. A deposit is required upon purchase. Certified funds upon delivery or acceptance by your shipper. I will consider delivery for cost of fuel within 250 miles of where I live 32571.

Good Luck and Enjoy!!!

New Delhi Auto Expo 2012 – Motorcycle Manufacturers Draw Battle Lines for World’s Second Largest Market

Mon, 09 Jan 2012

In past years, the biennial Auto Expo in India slipped under the radar while the industry was focused more on shows such as EICMA in Italy and Intermot in Germany. But with India’s middle class starting to flex its financial muscle while other markets continue to struggle, the New Delhi show is becoming much more prominent, with major OEMs positioning themselves to claim a piece of the India’s 13 million vehicles-a-year market. We’ve already looked at India-produced Royal Enfield’s new Thunderbird 500 and Hero Moto’s hybrid scooter concept which debuted at the Auto Expo, and today we’ll look at what the major international OEMs presented.
