YZA's...Still top of the pops
« on: March 28, 2013, 11:20:22 pm »
Did anyone see the YZ80A on evilbay that went for $5.751.00....original unmolested and unrestored.....probably harder to find a neat one of these than a YZ360A....they are still the top of the pop's when it comes to value.....360  10 to 15K, 250  5 to 10K, 125   3 to 5K, 80  1 to 5.7K.......and none of them are as common as dogshit MC490's...(which are becoming like phase 3 Falcon GT's...there's more now than then) ;D....they would have to be the most valuble series of dirtbike in the world.

I agree they're good bikes and it'd be cool to have the 80, 125, 250 and 360 matching set but are they getting those 250a-360a big dollars still? I'd have thought they're about 3-4k down on their 2005 peak. When I had my genuine MC490 and SC500 Maicos that had been sold locally new, the motocross versions of these bikes were as rare as YZ250-A's. I remember Ross King the importer telling me that he sold 4 or 5 times more enduro's than motocrossers, in fact he reckoned he only bought a handful of '81 MC490s into the country. Now they're everywhere you look, either cut down enduros or USA imports. There's nothin wrong with that, they're indeed a great bike but surely the sheer number of them here would diminish the collectability factor?

I still had it in my watch list I think it is because people want things they had as kids my mate had a friend of his over and he seen the gt80a and it was the same as he had as a kid and my mate said he just kept taking pictures and looking at the gt80 all night.

In the nick it is in I would hope it is worth some money like the xr75's etc seem to pull in that condition some things seem to just be popular regardless of production numbers. :)

I remember as a kid in 1974, sitting on a YZ80A in the showroom of the Motorcycle shop at Yandina (Little town just Nth of Nambour) and dreaming of owning one. Forward 30 years and I got one :) .....and then sold it to fund something else :'(
