1973 Yamaha MX250 complete frame off restoration, inside & out. No cutting corners, the bike is BEAUTIFUL & runs great. Truly an 8 out of 10 with this bike! Can be a vintage racer, or with a little more work, could be a complete SHOWROOM collector bike! Yamaha's great strength is its speed of reaction. The 1973 MX privateer's machine was a genuine replica of the 1972 works machines. The cycle part was completely redesigned, with the engine set lower in a new double cradle frame, while the rear shockers introduced a separate hydraulic fluid tank with external adjustment of the damping. This marked the beginning of a trend towards ever greater sophistication of suspension systems. It was underlined at Yamaha by the introduction of cantilever rear suspension in 1973.Please note: professional exhaust pipe repair, & 2-small marks (blemishes) on tank, deep scratches & dings, see pictures. Bill Of Sale Provided, Off-Road Uses Only. contact information: 818-two six six-9 one 78
