1971 Yamaha HT1-MX

90cc Motocross

-No Reserve Auction-

1971 Yamaha HT1 MX -- Built by Yamaha for only 6 months, these little 90cc racers are now extremely hard to find and have become quite collectible. This is a matching numbers original. Developed as an interim bike prior to Yamaha's 100 LT2MX, these little bikes and their hi-po engines came from the factory with all of Yamaha's full zoot GYT parts added. Rated at 14.5 hp @ 9,500 rpm, these little screamers were built to rev. I suppose they were called an intermediate sized bike back in the day, but in reality they were more closely sized to a 'mini enduro' (on PCP!). 

This bike runs great, but original IRC 18" tires are cracking and rear tube will no longer hold air. Please see photos of both of the tire's tread condition as this is your best way to determine actual mileage. Also, the shocks and forks are original and will undoubtedly need rebuild prior to riding quickly. Original aluminum MX fenders, brackets, GYT pipe (in excellent condition and would be impossible to find if missing), wheels, forks, frame, air cleaner, oil tank, bars, cables, foot pegs, kick stand, etc. all there. SEAT IS OFF OF A MINI ENDURO--it is shorter and doesn't quite fit, but in my opinion it looks much better than the stock 90 HT1 seats which were at least 3-4 inches longer. Tank has been repainted with new tank badges, and it looks pretty good.

Included is a new reproduction HT1 seat cover w/strap, and an original factory Yamaha HT1MX supplementary service guide which gives you instructions on HOW TO GET EVEN MORE POWER out of this little monster.

I found this bike several years ago from an estate sale in El Segundo, CA. It shows the typical moisture corrosion associated with beach cities along the west coast. Not bad, but a restoration would really do wonders for this. Or, just ride the heck out of it as is. If I were going to keep it I'd rebuild the forks, find a good set of aftermarket shocks, and then install a new pair of those little 18" Barum knobbies (2.75 front & 3.50 rear) for sale here on ebay. Would look way better, and would be much more fun too.  

This bike is also for sale on my website AzMikesVMXbikes.com, and I reserve the right to end auction early with an acceptable offer. Any buyers wishing to make offer may contact me and I will insert a Buy-it Now option here on ebay so that buyer may end the auction early.
