This 1974 Yamaha TZ700 TZ750 all low pipe first year factory racer was restored and in the collection of Scott Gunthrie…the Sultan of Speed. Its all there as you can see. No numbers on frame or engine. Good compression and spark. All fluids drained. I have owned it for about 10 years on display. Never started or ran.

Sometimes the rare bikes Red finds on ebay have 1-5 people watching…. and sometimes they are so rare everyone is watching. This seems to be one of those rare, rare-ones.

We have covered a few of these on the market over the past 17 years. Back in the hey-day of 2020 Dan featured one, “When it comes to bikes that have made their mark on history, few can stack up with the Yamaha TZ750. A winning GP factory racer built for the Formula 750 class, the TZ750 was remarkable in its adaptability; from dominating Daytona, to winning the Isle of Man TT, to being converted into a dirt tracker of sorts, the mighty TZ sent a message to the world that to win you needed to be on a Yamaha. And far from the factory-only efforts of today, the TZ750 was available as a customer race bike. Show up to your local dealer with references and some cash, and factory speed and power was in your hands. …

…like all racers, these privateer machines were generally used hard and funds were not always available to put them back together again. Many were crashed – hard. Others were destructively modified as rule books changed and teams struggled to keep older bikes competitive. Surviving racers in this kind of condition are a rare gift; we do not see them often because they did not live in a collector world. ”

That bike sold for $65k in 2020.

We’ll be popping popcorn and watching as the final minutes end on this auction. 33 bids placed already and there are 6 days left to go.

Good luck to the buyer and seller!
