Yamaha Other description

Up for bid is my 1982 Yamaha IT 465.  This bike has had an every nut and bolt restoration done by a very meticulous machinist.  I used NOS parts where possible. The only parts that were not replaced were side covers (blue plastics, each has small crack, see photos), fuel tank (desert tank for extra long trails), front headlight shroud, and air box.  Engine is fresh with 11 miles on it, rebuilt with all Yamaha parts.   NOS DG expansion pipe with hard-to-find stock muffler / silencer.  I installed a YZ 465 intake boot to eliminate the boost bottle induction.  I always worry those plastic tanks could leak. I do have everything to reinstall if you like.  Head light and tail light function as should.  This bike needs nothing.  Bike was done with every intention of staying in my collection.   I have title in hand,  but is in previous owner's name.  I will provide bill of sale also.  Please remember $500.00 down at end of auction.  Remainder of payment by certified funds or cash due within 7 days.  I have used Wolverine Transport to ship and pick up a lot of bikes for me. They are fair priced and trustworthy.  I can assist with loading bike.  I can store bike for up to 60 days as long as it is paid in full.

Yamaha factory racers Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies debuted the livery at the Assen round in June, which saw the American Spies nab his first a career MotoGP win.
