Yamaha Other description

Up for auction is a beautiful vintage 1973 Yamaha AT3 125. This is a matching numbers bike, that's in very nice condition as you can see in the pictures. It looks like it was stored in doors for many years and has been well cared for. This bike is NOT titled, as they weren't needed for dirt bikes in Montana. It fired up with one kick on a crisp fall day. It could probably use a tune up, but otherwise it runs and rides smoothly and is being sold as-is. It's loud and smokes a bit, as you'd expect from a vintage 2 stroker. Off-road tires are like new, as is the battery. Everything looks to be all original, with the exception of the front fender, although it is mounted nicely, and looks very nice on the bike. 

There aren't many negatives with this one, but a few things worth mentioning: There is a small ding on the tank; two small dings on the oil tank; the seat has been repaired with black tape; one of the levers is missing the knob on the end; the bike starts and runs good, but could probably use some tuning as mentioned above; the speedometer is not currently working, although both the speedo and tachometer are in very nice condition. There is some black tape holding the carb to airbox boot in place.

Please take a close look at the pictures and ask any questions prior to bidding. 

I am located in Missoula, MT, just off I-90. Many freight companies have shipping hubs here, so shipping is usually easy to coordinate and set up. I can hold this bike for up to 30 days for you or your shipper to pick it up. Deposit of $100 due on purchase, with full payment via cash or certified bank check due within 7 days after auction's close. 

If you have a 0 feedback score, please message before bidding.

We’re just over two weeks into the new year which means it’s time for MotoGP teams to start the promotional push for their 2013 MotoGP programs. Ducati is set to reveal its Desmosedici GP13 today at its annual Wrooom ski event with Ferrari‘s Formula One team later today, but Yamaha has gotten the jump on its Italian rival by releasing new photographs and a video of ex-Ducati rider Valentino Rossi and reigning World Champion Jorge Lorenzo. Also revealed is the 2013 Yamaha M1, though the racebike is shrouded in graphical overlays of its pilots and devoid of any sponsor logos including the newly signed supporter Monster Energy.
