I HAVE FOR SALE A VERY RARE 1964 YAMAHA YDS-3 SPORTS 250 CC TWO STROKE PARALLEL TWIN.
( 26 PS 246 CC )

PERIOD EXTRAS INCLUDE MAGNESIUM WHEELS FROM NEW AND REV COUNTER.( REV COUNTER MAKES IT A SPORTS MODEL )

IT HAS GOT MACHING NUMBERS.............!

IT HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SYMPATHETIC RESTORATION OVER THE LAST 6 YEARS , ITS NOT CONCOURSE , BUT IT IS CONDITION 1 AND REALLY WOULDNT TAKE MUCH TO MAKE CONCOURSE.

IT HAS GOT PERIOD REGISTRATION

CURRENT COLOUR OF THE BIKE IS BMW MONTREAL BLUE ( ORIGINAL COLOUR WAS A DARK METALIC BLUE AND THIS WAS THE CLOSEST MATCH )

THE YAMAHA YDS-3 WAS DESIGNED AS A HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPORTS BIKE. IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST BIKE TO USE AN AUTOLUBE SYSTEM TO MIX THE FUEL AND TWO STROKE OIL. AND WAS ALSO THE THE FIRST BIKE TO HAVE ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORBERS. IT WAS PRIMARILY DESIGNED FOR THE EXPORT MARKET TO COMPETE WITH BRITISH 500 CC MACHINERY WHICH AT THE TIME DOMINATED THE MARKET . IT WAS KNOWN IN ITS DAY FOR ITS PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY.


IT STARTS AND RIDES BEAUTIFULLY AND IT HAS A CURRENT MOT (EXP 12/06/2008) AND ROAD TAX, WHICH IS FREE THE BIKE BEING OVER 25 YEARS OLD . ( ITS ACTUALLY 43 YEARS OLD.............SAME AS ME...!)

NOW GIVEN IT IS 43 YEARS OLD THERE ARE BOUND TO BE ONE OR TWO AREAS THAT COULD DO WITH A TIDY UP. AS I SAID IT IS CONDITION 1. IF I HAD TO BE CRITICAL SOME OF THE CHROME COULD DO WITH BEING RE-DONE AND THOSE BITS WOULD BE THE PETROL CAP , THE GEN COVER AND THE HEADLIGHT SORROUND THAT COULD DO WITH RE-CHROMING. THEY ARE PERFECTLY PASSABLE AS THEY ARE BUT IF YOU WANT CONCOURSE THEN THEY WOULD NEED DOING. IT WOULD NEED 2 NEW TANK BADGES AS ONE IS CRACKED AND THE OTHER IS MISSING A CORNER .
EVERYTHING IS THERE AND EVERYTHING WORKS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE REV COUNTER. THE HEAD IS FINE , IT NEEDS A NEW CABLE AND I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO TRACK ONE DOWN AS YET. DITTO THE TANK BADGES ( I TOLD YOU IT WAS RARE ).
I AM LOOKING AT A SOLUTION FOR THE REV COUNTER AND I DONT THINK AN RD CABLE WOULD BE THAT DIFFERENT SO A POSSIBILITY WOULD BE TO ADAPT ONE OF THOSE, BUT ITS NOT SOMETHING IVE FULLY INVESTIGATED YET.

REASON FOR SALE........................IS BECAUSE I HAVE AN EXPANDING FAMILY.
NOTE THAT THIS IS A VERY VERY RELUCTANT SALE .

PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE THAT THIS ISNT A MUSEUM PIECE. IT DOES GET USED.

FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ON 07980 659027.
I AM LOCATED IN SEVENOAKS IN KENT

I AM LOOKING FOR OFFERS IN THE £3400 REGION.

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO UPLOAD PICTURES INTO HERE. I HAVE GOT LOTS SO IF YOU WANT TO LOOK DROP ME A LINE AND ILL BE HAPPY TO E-MAIL YOU SOME.

REGARDS

The post is two years old and the original poster only ever posted the once so is unlikely to see your enquiry, the only hope you have is to PM him and hope his email address is up to date.

I'm closing this now
