Yamaha RT1 description

No Reserve Auction

1970 Yamaha RT1; beautiful survivor with 4803 miles. No Reserve.

Two Owner (one owner for 35 years) Street Legal Dual Sport Enduro. Clear Colorado Title. It has been well cared for. This is a great running, mostly original, unrestored example of a very collectible bike. Its hard to find an RT1 in this shape. Every time I take it out someone stops me and wants to talk about it.

Starts first kick every time, no leaks anywhere, idles even, no smoke, shifts great, pulls hard, and has a ton of compression. It can be hazardous to kick without boots. It has no cylinder pressure release valve. Oil injection system is working. Speedometer and odometer have no fade and work as they should. Brakes work great. Both tires are in good shape with no dry rot. Tank cleaned by Colorado Radiator Service here in Denver. Inline fuel filter added. Case oil is fresh. The rubber and chrome are original and in great shape. No rust anywhere. There are scratches and two small dents in the tank. There is no rust in the tank. The seat has some cracking on the left rear side. The only issues are: the shocks are original and the bike blows bulbs in the gauges and rear brake light. I put a new battery in it so its probably the voltage regulator. The rear brake light assembly and front fender are period correct but not original. It is missing the turn signals.

Bid with confidence. I have sold several motorcycles and pinballs on ebay to happy customers. If you have any questions please send me a private message and I will give you my phone number.

Shipping costs and arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. I don't mind holding the bike for a while once it is paid for. I realize it takes time to make shipping arrangements and I want to make this an easy experience for the buyer. No international shipping.

Bike is for sale locally. I reserve the right to cancel the auction early.

Payment is due within 3 days of the auction ending. $300 Deposit due 24 hours after auction close. I will accept the balance of payment in the following ways. Paypal, cash in person, USPS money orders, or certified bank check.

Thanks for looking,

Bill Grodeska

By the afternoon, the Yamaha rider was back in the Netherlands to prove he is healthy enough to race in tomorrow’s TT Assen. The reigning MotoGP champion broke his collarbone in three places after high-siding in a wet practice session Thursday.

GPify the Yamaha Fazer FZ8 with LeoVince

Mon, 05 Jul 2010

Here is what LeoVince has to say about the new Fazer8 and FZ8 exhausts: Quick off the mark with 3 exhaust options launched for Yamaha's brand new 800cc Fazer and FZ8 models, LeoVince promise you less weight, better looks and improved performance. These new Fazers, with their R1 engines, albeit downgraded to a smaller 800cc capacity, have been designed by Yamaha to give more bottom end power. LeoVince have finely tuned their new slip-on GP-PRO and SBK-FACTORY exhausts to further increase both power and torque throughout the whole rev range, and endow the bike with a much improved sports sound - plus a removable db baffle for increased throatiness.
