Vintage Yamaha bike show
Thought I'd share with you guys some pics I took this weekend. My buddy Dave is the sales manager at PDX Sports Plaza and he was putting together an open house/vintage Yamaha bike show, so he asked if I'd like to put my bike on display..... I said yes!! He called a bunch of his friends and had about 10 bikes show up.
There was a mixture of two and four strokes, street and dirt, and a sand drag 565cc Banshee. I wish I would have taken more pics of the other bikes..... next time!
I hung out there most of the day talking with people coming through the store.
Lots of fun!

Some real clean YZ's
My friend showed up with his all original 75 RD 350
Original specs and price
RD,RZ, and R1M
Dave has been restoring his 78' SR 500 for the last few years..... finally finished it!

Re: Vintage Yamaha bike show
Meant to also ask... Were the us models really only 39bhp?

Jon, that is a XT model. I think it's pretty close to original except for a pipe.JonW wrote:nice! Is that an XT or a TT-with-light-kit in one of the shots?
I thought that sounded low too. The Canadian RD's had 47hp, but the US models had the pipes with the catalytic converters in them. I'll bet that where the difference is.JonW wrote:Meant to also ask... Were the us models really only 39bhp?
I just checked to see what $2399 would be in todays dollars.hondaror wrote:Charlie, I'd gladly give you $2399.00 for your bike!!!
