This is a freshly restored TZ250A from Washington on eBay!

Bike:  1974 Yamaha TZ250A

Location:  Camano Island, Washington

This TZ250A comes to us from the same seller who is parting with his RG500.  They appear to be liquidating quite the desirable motorcycle collection and I wouldn’t hesitate adding them to your favorite sellers list.

This TZ250 has been completely gone through with a fresh engine rebuild, new bodywork/paint, NOS rear shock, redone expansion chambers and a redone tank.  A small spares package is included.  This A model looks perfect with it’s wire wheels and large disc breaks, which were changed for discs on the C variant.  This should definitely be considered if you’re looking for a TZ to vintage race or just add to the collection.  See the other TZ250′s that have crossed our desks here.  See this bike on eBay with a $10k opening bid.

1988 Yamaha FZR 400

Mileage: 7,800
Location: Caldwell, Idaho

I know what you’re thinking “Here Doug goes again with another 400 that isn’t even a RSBFS…” Well, all I can say is “Too bad Brochacho’s- you’re getting another one!”

Just like the title says: Only 7,800 miles! Which is on the down low for a 22 year old scooter. This one is rockin’ new tires and fork seals and looks to be super clean.

Check it out:

Super nice original FZR400. Adult owned, I bought this from my Air Force buddy in 2000, He bought it new. Bike is pristine, new tires, new fork seals. This is a rare bike, only made 2 years. Runs strong, no modifications. Have an extra stock exhaust and new factory mirrors still in box. I just don’t ride this bike enough.

Okay, so any discerning FZR 400 guy will raise an eyebrow after reading the description by the seller.

1. FZR 400 were imported for 3 years and not 2.
2. No modifications??? hmmmm……

Now let’s be clear- this appears to be a sweet 400 and I like it, but it’s missing something… Anyone? Anyone?

This 400 is missing the upper fairing stickers on the left and right side. You see it now? The problem with this is that they are no longer available from Yamaha. I’m aware of this being a bit nit picky on an otherwise nice bike, but it’s being sold as a “Super nice original FZR400″ so when someone is advertising a bike as such I expect it to be just that. This in no way would keep me from buying this bike if, I didn’t already have a “Super nice original FZR 400″ sitting in my basement. Vinyl graphic cutters are a dime a dozen and can easily reproduce the OEM stickers to make this bike “pristine!”

Here are some more photo’s for your consideration:

1993 Yamaha TZ 250 GP track bike

Make: Yamaha
Model: TZ 250
Price: $2,800 starting bid with $5,500 B.I.N. – This won’t make it through the day on ebay!
Location: Rocklin, CA

Found this beauty on ebay this morning while key wording for rare bikes- did I hit the jackpot! This one is super clean and has been stored for approximately 10 years on stands and it shows! I suspect this one doesn’t have any bids on it because the key words are a little funny. I assure you at a $2,800 starting bid with no reserve, this one will not make it through the day. I’ve been on a 2 stroke kick lately and I’ve seen piles of what is said to be a rare 2 stroke bike and it is merely junk. TZ’s have a long storied racing history and are probably some of the sickest looking race bikes around- sans a MotoGP machine of course.

Looking for a cheap race or track day bike? Then look no further because you have found it!

Quote from the ebay listing:

Yamaha TZ250 Former AFM race bike with minimal spares.

Tough economy forces sale of this awesome bike.

* Starts easy & runs great, very fast and collectable

* Very low use on this bike. I have owned it for almost 10 years and only ridden it twice at trackdays. It has older Dunlop tires on it. It has been stored in my shop up on a stand. Needs a little clean up, remove dust and cobwebs.

* This bike sold new for over $20K – factory GP bike

Okay, so it needs to be dusted off and a new pair of sneakers before hitting the track. Not to keep harping on it, but you can’t buy a 1997 CBR F3 track bike for $2,800 bucks! This is 250#’s of 2 stroke madness at it’s best!

I won’t hold you up any longer….

Cheers!

This is a mint FZR1000 with 6k original miles!

Bike:  1987 Yamaha FZR1000 Genesis

Location:  Fremont, California

Mileage:  6,000mi

Price:  $2,800 USD

This was the Bike of the Year for 1987 and this bike is, supposedly, in mint condition with only 6k miles.  The seller states that this bike has new Bridgestone’s.  At $2,800; I call this a great price if the condition is accurate.  You’d be unlikely to find a decent example for less than $2,500 let alone a mint, 6k mile, one.  Give this seller a call!  See the bike on Craigslist here.

False alarm- Thanks to everyone who has set me straight on this model.

2006 Yamaha LE 50th Anniversary R1

Location: New Haven, IN
Price: $6,850.00 B.I.N. (!)
Mileage: 13,623

So…. I know I’ll probably catch some ‘stuff’ for posting this one when there are better ones to be had. But, I always like finding a “gem in the rough” and I think this one fits that category quite well. We usually see these floating around for sale in the $12,000 to $13,000 range, but this one is being offered at almost half the super low mileage LE’s we’ve previously had on RSBFS. I think this is an absolute steal for this bike and I have a sneaky suspicion as to why it might still be for sale. It is listed on ebay as a 2006 Honda Shadow Yamaha R1.

In case you’re wondering about the seller it appears they are on the up and up, but they just placed this one in the wrong category.

Have a look:

For Sale 2006 Yamaha R1 LE 50th Anniversary Edition With the Marchesini mag rims runs and rides great only thing i can find wrong is a small scratch on the right side of the upper fairing and a small crack in the tail that are very hard to see

to see this one.

Okay, so you’re not down with a high mileage collectible rider. I also found this listed on ebay as well.

Cheers!

1990 Yamaha FZR 400 in fantastic condition!

Update *8.18.10 – bike is now

Mileage: 8,300
Location: Southern Indiana
Price: $4,000.00

The history on the bike is simple: I purchased it from the original owner in the Spring of this year. I have the original sales receipts, tool kit, owners manual and shop manual. The pictures will tell the story because as you will see the bike is in immaculate condition. When I took ownership of it, I had the carbs cleaned, changed the oil and filter, drained the gas, filled the gas and added Sta-bil. I have put about 100 miles on it during my brief ownership. It is tight and acts and runs like a bike with only 8,000 miles should.

I agree it’s not cheap, but I challenge anyone to find one in better condition. I am interested in getting a 250 2 stroke and if you are interested in a trade let me know.

I took this picture of the swing arm the same day I received the bike. 400′s don’t have rear tire huggers and this picture will show you how clean this bike is. I’m only selling it because I have decided to pursue my secret dream of owning a 2 stroke. I’m not getting any younger and I want to own a few more bikes before my time is up. I’ve enjoyed 400′s for many, many years and guarantee there will be no disappointments with this one.

In all of my FZR 400 posts, that I’ve made on RSBFS, I have only seen one better and it was priced at $5,000.00.

It is available for viewing and I will take any picture upon request. I will help with shipping at the buyers expense.

Yes, it is that shiny!

Cheers!

This TZ250RS is perfect for the Yamaha aficionado or, any two stroke nut who thinks NSR’s are too plentiful!

Make: Yamaha
Model: TZ250 RS
Mileage: 3,700
Price: $9,000 Plus Tax

This is another bike from Ozzie’s mouth-watering collection, and doesn’t disappoint even when compared to it’s gorgeous stablemates!  These 250RS’ are the homologation bikes for the production run TZR250R’s and feature, most importantly, a 6-speed transmission with dry-clutch, adjustable 39mm USD forks with an adjustable shock out back, two brake rotors up front with four-piston calipers, a dry weight of 126kg and a power out put of 45hp.  This bike is the epitome of homologation specials; could you imagine a lightweight Ninja 250 with a dry clutch?  No, because it’s economically unfeasible and there is no way the big-four would do it now!  This bike looks to be in showroom new condition while being finished in the, somewhat, traditional Yamaha red & white color scheme with the yellow number plates.  If you like your ring-ding’s with some rocks in a coffee can, this bike is for you!

1993 RS (dry clutch) and really in even cleaner condition than my KR replica. Has 6000KM (3700miles)

Best of luck with the sale Ozzie!

1990 Yamaha FZR 400 for sale and located on the Western Slope- CL

Mileage: 9870
Location: Rifle, CO
Price: $1,500 OBO!

Okay so even though I’d sell mine in a heart beat for the right price I still look for 400′s everyday. If this one was anywhere near me I would be writing this first hand because I would have bought it and be putting it up for sale myself. From the looks of it this one is in decent shape and sporting about 95% of what it came with.

1990 Yamaha FZR 400 Street bike. In good condition. only thing missing is the right hand mirror (just the glass is missing). 9870 miles. blue and black.
$1500.00 O.B.O. email me for more info or to see in rifle.

It looks like the frame has been polished and it also looks like it has a D&D exhaust/header. There’s not much info given about the bike itself other than it’s a 90, blue and black and it’s good condition. As our fearless leader would say “I’d rock that” and for $1,500 bucks you should have plenty of room to update and replace any worn parts. The mileage is extremely low as well and I’m guessing this seller is leaving about $1,000 bucks on the table. Anyone near Rifle, Colorado looking for a great sport bike on the cheap-cheap? Look this one up and I wouldn’t delay.

Cheers!

This is a very nice TZ250 reverse cylinder that has had all the major work done and just needs to be finished!

Bike:  1989 Yamaha TZ250W

Price:  $6,500 USD

Location:  Montreal, Canada

This TZ is a project that’s nearly complete.  The engine has been gone through with a new top end, fifty miles on the crank, a polished frame and swingarm, and a paint job that isn’t perfect but was painted with track work in mind.  The asking price for this bike is $6,500 USD.  This is the same seller that had the restored Honda RS250 ND5 that looked fantastic and can be seen here.  The restoration of this TZ can be seen on NATS here.  See the ad for this bike on WERA here.
