Yamaha DT50 STUNNING RESTORED EXAMPLE

THE BIKE SPECIALISTS, TRADING STANDARD AWARD WINNERS. We are proud to offer our restored 1979 Yamaha DT50. This fantastic example has been tastefully restored and is certainly one of the best we have seen having covered just 8,604 miles. The bike will be supplied having had a full recommissioning service and 12 months MOT prior to sale. The DT series was created by Yamaha in the late 1960s when the United States motorcycle market was down. Market research by Yamaha indicated that, despite slow motorcycle sales, there was a largely untapped market for off-road motorcycles. At the time, only a few specialty European manufacturers such as Bultaco and Husqvarna made motorcycles specifically for off-road use. Instead, many owners purchased road motorcycles and modified them for off-road use, typically by raising the muffler, adding braced handlebars, and fitting a bash plate under the engine . Such modifications were commonly known as creating scramblers. The first DT model, the DT-1 trail bike, was released in 1968 and quickly sold out paving the way for future DT's with varying engine sizes. Please do not hesitate to call us for any further details, a small deposit will secure this vehicle. UK and worldwide delivery options available.
