Lot 37
c. 1975 Yamaha TY80 Trials
Registration no. not registered
Frame no. the details below
Engine no. the details below
Having come to dominate road racing and moto-cross, the major Japanese motorcycle factories turned their attention to the trials world in the early 1970s, recruiting top British riders to assist with machine development. In Yamaha's case this meant Mick Andrews, late of Ossa, who began work on the TY250 in 1973. A conventional, air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke equipped with Yamaha's reed-valve induction, the TY250 proved good enough for Andrews to win the arduous Scottish Six Days Trial in 1974 and went onto establish a formidable reputation in observed trails. Smaller TY175 and TY80 models followed, the latter providing younger riders with a competitive introduction to the sport.
Using some new-old-stock parts, this TY80 has been restored by the vendor including new plastics, frame painted, and wheels rebuilt. The machine is offered from a small private collection. There are no documents with this Lot.
£1, 000 - 2, 000
