1983 YAMAHA BYZ 401

I have always had a big passion for Yamaha`s, as I have ridden them in motocycle trials since a wee lad in 1978 through to today in twinshock motocross on my 1981 Yamaha YZ 465.
So when this BYZ frame came up I had to have it! and wanted to do this bike build serious justice! They are quite rare to find in England as they are French built, hence the time it has taken to find as many original parts as possible. The ultimate motocross pit bike!!

That is very special, a shop near me in the mid 90's still had a yamaha bmx poster on the wall still. Bar the seat and seat post that is one lovely bike that will surely get you noticed in the pit.
