Unobtainium Parts Bin: 1995 Yamaha YZR500 Frame And Swing Arm
Are we at a “10” with the cool factor on this? I’m not sure what the hell you do with it since I haven’t seen a lot of YZR500 engines on Craigslist or Ebay. I think it would be a crime to drop a RZ500 engine in there but I’m sure one of you out there would have a plan for this.
The seller describes this as ex-Luca Cadalora hardware from 1995. Anyone have an idea how many frames a team would go through in a year with crashes and revisions? It looks the part but I can’t confirm it is factory material since Harris and ROC made almost exact copies. I bet one of you will notice some sort of feature that will identify it as the real deal or not. It has the real deal price, 22,000 GBP, almost $35,000! The seller claims an intact YZR frame is harder to come by than an actual engine. Who am I to argue? It’s in the right part of the world as most authentic GP parts tend to come out of England.
Need some extra bits? The seller has you covered:
i have some bodywork, tank, exhausts & wheels etc i will sell seperatly with the frame
Frowning because you are a Suzuki man?
From the seller:
i also have x 4 1987 ex kevin swantz rgv500 cylinders & exhausts and x1 ist model [1986]l rgv500 cylinder. that i will be listing soon
Oh to have a buddy with this stuff tucked away in his garage.
