1978 Yamaha YZ250E

6 Speed

selling my race bike,
Had some real good rides on this one
Let a kid race it for his first time on a 2-stroke
at Glen Helen, 40 riders and this kid got his first First Place Finish EVER
!

I'm old and have won my share on this bike.


 A little about this bike. Always Garaged.
It's a 2 stroke, so you have to pre-mix oil with the gas.


 I combined 3 YZ's that I had to build this one.
I had a old stadium bike that ran great, and the frame was trash.

Ported and polished, took the 6 speed motor and placed it in another frame,


 Added a White Brothers shock, installed 1980 forks &polished the forks,

put on cammo seat cover,
added weld on foot pegs, answer silencer, new hand controls,

new kill button, older Renthal bars,

recently changed out the oil in the trans and forks,

tires in good shape, I would say 75% on them
used round wheels from another bike,

and went racing.
This bike has never failed me, I put on some 82
graphics just to be different.


 I've had this bike for over 17 years

There is no title, (it's so old) but I will furnish a Bill of Sale

I still race vintage Motocross, even though I am getting up in the years,

I have CZ's, Bultaco's, Husqvarnas , and a bunch of 70's YZ's

Ask any questions that you need answered,

the reserve is a reasonably fare price,

not astronomical like some of the bikes I have looked at


 Located just 50 miles

NE of Los Angeles, Ca.

As an eighteen year old Kenny Roberts was my bike racing God.  I loved Barry Sheene but as a Yamaha FS1E rider I always wanted the little American to win simply because his bike resembled mine.  The coverage of Grand Prix in the late seventies was sketchy but I clearly remember watching the epic Sheene/Roberts battle unfold at the Silverstone GP on my council estate telly.  The Dutchman, Wil Hartog was hanging in there for a while but as the laps unfolded it became a two way battle with Sheene looking favourite to win.  Sheene lost the most time as the pair lapped a certain George Fogarty so my hero Roberts eventually won by just three hundredths of a second.  I’m not sure what happened next but being a Sunday we would no doubt be skidding around later in the day at the Pines chippie pretending to be Roberts and Sheene.  Fast forward thirty four years and a boyhood fantasy came true as I headed out on Chris Wilson’s 1980 Roberts machine for the Barry Sheene tribute laps at last weekend’s Moto GP.  It crackled into life instantly and felt as sharp as any of the more modern 500s I used to race.  The temperature gauge had a maximum marker on 60 degrees so to begin with I was nervous as it didn’t move but being a hot day (although still keeping my hand on the clutch) I convinced myself it wasn’t working.    The bike felt tiny, not helped by the fact I only just squeezed into my 1989 Marlboro Yamaha leathers.  It still felt rapid though as I played out the 1979 classic in my head while getting tucked in down the Hanger straight.  Steve Parrish was also out there on one of Barry’s 500cc Heron Suzukis so we did our best to copy the famous last lap at Woodcote Corner where Sheene came so close to winning his home GP. As a lad I would have said the chances of me riding round Silverstone on a GP winning Kenny Roberts machine were zero, but in the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true!
