Yamaha Other description

Up for auction is a beautiful vintage 1973 Yamaha AT3 125. This is a matching numbers bike, that's in very nice condition as you can see in the pictures. It looks like it was stored in doors for many years and has been well cared for. This bike is NOT titled, as they weren't needed for dirt bikes in Montana. It fired up with one kick on a crisp fall day. It could probably use a tune up, but otherwise it runs and rides smoothly and is being sold as-is. It's loud and smokes a bit, as you'd expect from a vintage 2 stroker. Off-road tires are like new, as is the battery. Everything looks to be all original, with the exception of the front fender, although it is mounted nicely, and looks very nice on the bike. 

There aren't many negatives with this one, but a few things worth mentioning: There is a small ding on the tank; two small dings on the oil tank; the seat has been repaired with black tape; one of the levers is missing the knob on the end; the bike starts and runs good, but could probably use some tuning as mentioned above; the speedometer is not currently working, although both the speedo and tachometer are in very nice condition. There is some black tape holding the carb to airbox boot in place.

Please take a close look at the pictures and ask any questions prior to bidding. 

I am located in Missoula, MT, just off I-90. Many freight companies have shipping hubs here, so shipping is usually easy to coordinate and set up. I can hold this bike for up to 30 days for you or your shipper to pick it up. Deposit of $100 due on purchase, with full payment via cash or certified bank check due within 7 days after auction's close. 

If you have a 0 feedback score, please message before bidding.

Day 2 Dakar 2014: Sunderland Wins First Special Stage

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Honda won the second day of competition with Team HRC’s Sam Sunderland claiming victory in the first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Sunderland has had a frustrating time at previous Dakars, dropping out after three days of racing in 2012 and withdrawing a month before last year’s event due to fracturing both his wrists. Today, however, Sunderland made a grand entrance into the club of elite riders by brilliantly winning his first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Having started well behind his teammate, Joan Barreda, the 23-year old Brit superbly overtook Michael Metge and Juan Pedrero on the first part of the route.

Jefferies' TT V&M R1 for sale

Tue, 26 Apr 2011

We got a tip-off about a former David Jefferies TT R1 for sale on eBay. The owner says it's from the 1998 TT but I'm pretty sure it was the one he raced in 1999. Here's a little bit more background about the V&M TT effort in 1999: In 1990 Jack Valentine gave up racing to concentrate on running V&M Racing, and after being sacked by Honda at the end of the 1998 season, the team set about to do some giant killing.
