1980 YZ465G
« on: March 18, 2011, 11:19:57 am »
Complete bike in good order. Only used a handful of times after a complete refurbishment including:
- fresh motor (rebuilt by previous owner who also checked out all electrics)
- new clutch
- new chain and sprockets
- new air filter
- new tyres
- frame and all engine components painted

Has good plastics, not all original as the side covers and front plate are DC items. Tank is original and in very good condition. Pipe is original and in very good condition. Alloy Answer muffler has some dents in it. Rims and hubs are original and in very good condition, spokes are original and old/tarnished. New rear spring. Bike has not been started for over 18 months and hasn't been ridden since CD in 2009. I never enjoyed starting it, but certainly enjoyed riding it. Gearbox shifts/selects fine last time it was ridden so should still be good. Shouldn't take much effort to get this bike up and running as a good original condition EVO racer.

Looking for $4000 or thereabouts. Located Caboolture/Bribie area north of Brisbane. Contact John on 0402543883 if interested.

Hi John,


Any chance of a picture or two?

hi paul, i don't have anything here at work so i might have to see if i can up load something over the weekend. there's nothing really much to see, it's an original australian delivered (so white plastics, red tank stripe) bike. the red tank stripe is now a bit faded and chipped away but other than that everything is in good order. it's not in showroom condition but it's no dunger either. best way for anyone who is serious is to inspect it.

I know Tony, i'm a disgrace, i just got to the point where i wasn't using it at all and preferred to use my modern or the 250RG because they were just easier. So i'd rather have someone use it than it just sit there in the shed gathering dust, you just don't see many G bangers around, a few H's, but very few G's.

This is still for sale if anyone's interested. I'm open to offers that aren't ridiculous if you think what I'm after is not a fair market price. Phone 0402543883.

I now have some photos available, call me and provide an email address if you would like me to email them.

After a couple of weeks to see if anyone in the ozvmx community wants to buy this bike, I've now listed this in the trading post with some photos if anyone's interested.
