Classic Yamaha 350 - markp2 - 15-12-11
I know that it isn't a Fazer but it does have a FOC-U connection.
1971 Yamaha YR5 350 twin. UK bike with matching frame and engine numbers. Tax exempt. Mot until June. Fully restored with a complete strip, refurbish and rebuild. Upgraded with modern electrics and a LC350 clutch to ensure reliability although nothing can be seen from the outside. The bike is in near show condition and only a couple of minor blemishes away from concours.
Have a look at the pics and if interested contact me at mpollard60@btinternet.com and I will send you full details. Price is £2500 for hopefully a quick sale. Dealers ask £4000+ for bikes in this condition.
Oh yes - the FOC-U connection. The superb paintwork is by none other than our very own Deefer of this parish.

Re: Classic Yamaha 350 - Deefer666 - 19-12-11
I remember that paintwork! that was a few years ago now.... Nice to see its holding up well, still it had more than enough lacquer on it. This is the first time I have seen the bike complete and I must say she looks lovely!

Drool dribble. That looks soooo lush. Reminds me of an old RD 200 Electric, Torque induction I once had.

Re: Classic Yamaha 350 - markp2 - 30-01-12
Hi Guys,
The bike was definitely in my garage last night. I think the YR5 only came in two colours. Orange/black (like mine) and Orange/White so most of them look similar. There was a purple/white but I think that was for the 250 only.
Paul. Glad you got my reply. Sorry to hear that you are so far away. How about combining it with a winter weekend break in Devon?
Cheers,
Mark
Re: Classic Yamaha 350 - paul.s - 30-01-12
lol id love to mark but with fuel costs (3.0 tdi touareg)and b+b +taking sat off work it would take the bike out of my budget shame as it does look good
Re: Classic Yamaha 350 - markp2 - 20-02-12
Bike now sold. Thanks to everyone for the interest. If you know of anyone with a similar machine, I have boxes of parts - new and used - to sell off for any reasonable offer.
Cheers,
Mark
