Hey Graeme, speaking of early YZ's are you still wanting to build that replica of the Torsten Hallmand YZ763 works bike? You were toying with the idea a couple of years ago and since then we haven't heard anything. The reason I ask, I promised you one of my spare frames but I discovered it was rusted out so the deal fell apart. I've got another DT1(actually it's a DT2 but they're same.) frame I'm getting rid of that another forum member will take if nobody else wants it so I'll throw it at you first .....are you still going ahead with the project and if so do you want my frame?

The Hallsman is on the back backburner . There are some pretty major issues of hybriding the two frames. It's probably a better sollution to start with a DT2MX frame. I haven' t given up on the idea but it's a long long way off - and probably won't happen  . But notwithstanding, I've got the DT/RT frame bits I think I need so pass on your frame to someone who can make good use of it .

There was never any white models YZ PRODUCTION MODELS MADE., USA got there first batch in 1974 YELLOW. Australia and Canada Got the fisrt batch of YZ A Silver.

Every YZ a I saw here in the US was silver and red. The YZ A models were sold here as 74 models. My uncle picked up a  new YZ250A in late 73 or early 74. The 72 DT2 250 and RT2 360 were silver and red, the 73 MX 360 was silver /red while the 73 MX 250 was silver with yellow stripe. I had a 73 MX250 for a while. The first yellow bikes we saw here were the 74 MX models. The first yellow YZs we saw here were the 1975 B models with monoshock. My uncle had a YZ250A, YZ250 B and YZ250 C in this era. The YZ models in the Us continued to be Yellow until the 85 models -starting the  wht red until 96, when the blue came in.

Still, that black and red color scheme is a knock out. I love it. BTW when most YZ A models started hitting the tracks again in the early 90s, most were re done in wht/red. We always wanted to make our US bound Yzs white and red like all the others in the world.
