Yamaha Other description

Yamaha yr1 1967 Up for auction is a 1967 Yamaha Yr1 350cc original motorcycle. I believe it to be a 1 or two owner motorcycle due to the mileage the bike literally has only 5200 mis on it. The bike is really clean for its age, although the chrome and paint is a little worn out, the internal functional parts on this bike are really clean. The bike does have good compression and the motor is free ( yes the kicker works). The inside of the tank is like new and never had rust in it, just like the gas tank the oil tank is really clean.The bike currently does not run, I bought it with the intention to make it run but never got to it so I'm just going to sell it now because I need the money. I have owned a lot of these 2 stroke bikes and firmly believe it should fire up with a simple tune up, the points still move and appear to be gap correctly,the oil injection system is complete and should do its job once refilled and primed, and the wiring is all complete from what I can see but I did pop the seat and head light lens off so you can see for your self. The bike does not come with paper work just a bill of sale. This is a very rare find due to the fact that in 1967 Yamaha's 350 was the fasted bike they ever made back in 67, this bike was only made for 1 yr, and the mileage of the bike. The bike still has the original tire fill which is very rare to have the tire pump with its original bike.The bike does not have its key but really is not that big of a deal you can get keys direct from yamaha or on ebay. This bike is truly my favorite yamaha ever made and would have loved to kept it, so with that said I set a reserve on the bike because if I don't get what I need out of it it will be built in the next month or 2 then be back on ebay to sell. If you want to know anything about the bike feel free to email me through ebay or call me at 424 400 XXXX just ask for Brandon. Look out for more bikes to come from me in the future. Thank you and bid to win.

The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.

Yamaha Pro Am madness, the best one make championship ever?

Sat, 18 Dec 2010

I’m biased of course, but the best one make road race championship has to be the Yamaha RD 350LC Pro Am series. Back in the days when manufacturers had spare cash (1980 to be precise), Mitsui Yamaha organised this televised championship at major British race meetings to promote the recently launched, and now iconic, Yamaha RD350LC. Twenty four riders (twelve established and twelve rookies) were chosen by a panel of experts then given a completely free season of racing with a very generous prize fund thrown in.
