FOR SALE: 1982 YZ 490 "Collectors Dream"

With less than 20 hours from New.

The story of this bike:  A father bought himself and his 2 sons a 1982 490 each.  This bike (one of the sons) was only used for a couple of rides before it was shedded.  My estimate of 20 hours is probably far more than the bike was actually ridden considering the original IRC tyres are barely worn (The centre indent in the rear tyre has just been worn). 

The bike has every original fitting and fastener in good to excellent condition.  The bike also has all original caution stickers with the second sticker on the rear guard suffering wearing when I was detailing the guard.  The bike was stored in a garage and as such is not in the condition of museum piece at this stage and as such the tank stickers have bubbled.  The bike suffered damage to the seat cover when an object was dropped on it and has some slight overspray marks when something was being spray painted.  I have done a cursory detail with a more thorough clean being able to remove the remainder of the marks.  Whilst the plastic would be rated good to excellent the front and rear guards require a buffing to really bring a gloss finish which will match the tank and side panels.

The bike has not been painted only cleaned and the marks on the clutch cover are due to storage or possibly shipping. This bike represents one of the highest quality "original" vintage dirt bikes I have seen and as such is valued accordingly.  For further details call Mick on 0438 366418.
