Yamaha YZ400-C on Swapmeet.

[firko]

If you look past the Vesco tank this is a clean unmolested bike that's going for a steal. This would make a very competitive pre 78 open classer with minimal work. Camarillo's a bit over an hour north of Long Beach so the internal shipping would be pretty reasonable. The down side is that the seller doesn't do PayPal and is a bit difficult to deal with. This model Yammy doesn't come along in such original condition very often so it might be worth the hassle of dealing with Rick to get it.

Wow, that looks very neat Firko.  Add in another $1K for shipping and taxes and you'd have it here for well under $2K which would be a great buy.

I'd be onto it myself but my dance card (and shed) are full at the moment

Gents how much trouble is it to ship a bike back ? I have my 125x almost finished , but this would be great to have. What is the protocol with asking the owner detailed questions eg, can they video it going, etc

It's easy as long as 1: the bike has title and 2: the internal shipping in the USA and here don't add unforseen expense to the deal. If you live in Bondi you're in the right place for my Sydney based importer. First thing though.....contact the seller and work out a payment method as he doesn't take PayPal. He's difficult to get communication up and running as well....good luck
