Look at her now!

Last year I bought a 1976 TY 250 via Craigslist from a young man near Boston.
It was in rough shape (yellow/blue - dented tank, etc)
It came with a box of parts some of which belonged on the bike.
It ran but was a case of severe neglect.

Price $500.00

Upon returning home I sold the bike to Deron Johnson of www.johnsonmotors1.com
for $500.00.

Look what he accomplishhed:





A few weeks later I bought another on in NH off Craigslist.
This one is still awaiting Deron Johnson's attention:

Crate it and ship it to Deron for a facelift.

Covers are custom made by www.Johnsonmotors1.com

Replacement skidpans are also available.

Yamaha's plastic pans were never any good.

Get in touch with Deron.
