1980 Yamaha Other PRING CLEANING OUTSIDE PHILADELPHIA for Sale

1980 YAMAHA IT 425 A WILD BLUE WONDER.

A light-weight, hundred mile an hour big-bore competition bike, but boring it ain’t…Yamaha’s one-year only model for enduro racing based on the mighty YZ400. PRESERVATION THAT SNAP, CRACKLES AND POPS IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS: Overall, this bike never got beat up or restored, and never lost it’s soul… One owner,

impressive California example Forty year garaged, arid dry climate of Lake Elsinore Shows extremely low hours, like new, notable originality Complete, with excellent factory finishes and noticeable boot scuffing on the kickstart side No rust, corrosion, abuse or neglect Unrestored, recently detailed and serviced: New Dunlops in place of dry-rotted IRCs, handlebars, smaller gas tank and compact silencer currently installed Engine cases never split, idles sharp, runs fast and clean Perfect snick shifts Minor cosmetic modifications, minimal, reversible Includes all original parts, padded and boxed Sold on current Bill of Sale with original CA registration MATCHING ENGINE AND FRAME: VIN 3R8001215,

frame headstock and rear engine case Originally registered January 20, 1980 / San Bernardino No rips, tears or crashes, bends, breaks or leaks, especially no surprises.

This bike is a real gem and a teary-eyed blast to idle and occasionally rip for a guaranteed ear-to-ear grin. THE IMPORTANT DETAILS ARE IN THE DELICATE BITS. Pretty damn original. Every fastener shows no corrosion, the skid plate not hammered and the handlebar grip ends perfect. Plastics uncracked, not faded. Never taken apart. Every thing in between is really, really nice, excellent for any dirt bike. This one got parked early and escaped being ridden to death. The only casualties from sitting and aging were dry-rotted

IRC tires and the common expansion hairline crack in the fuel tank, since repaired, slightly a sightly blem, but holding up and holding fuel!

A smaller IT175 tank from Clarke Plastics with aluminum tank badges, not blistering stickers, is installed now with the original boxed for preservation and for keeps. Just chase down a new fork-mounted speedo cable tie and a period tool kit missing from the rear bag for showroom presentation. IN THE MIDDLE OF SPRING CLEANING, AND IT’S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BUY. Good manners, polite exchange and sheer enthusiasm welcome to this retired cop, mechanic and school teacher. Propose a reasonable plan, drop me a line over details, 267.236.

xyz X. All original parts (including tank, silencer) and paperwork pictured are included as well as any goodwill spares stashed along the way minutes outside Philadelphia. Sold on a Bill of Sale and a firm congratulatory handshake for good luck holding on!
