Introduced towards the end of 1974 the DT400 replaced the existing DT360A at the head of Yamaha's trail bike range. The claimed maximum power output fell from 30 bhp for the DT360A to a little over 20bhp for the 400 but was outweighed by greater flexibility that was more in keeping with the motorcycles intended use as a trail bike. This marked a change in philosophy for Yamaha's trail bike design, the days of the "all round" off roader were coming to an end. Riders were becoming more discerning in their requirements prompting the Japanese manufacturers to produce specialised moto cross, enduro and trail bikes. The YZ range of moto crossers had ceased to be merely stripped down DT's and the IT enduro range was under development allowing the DT range to cater to the leisure rider.
The example offered displays 15,132 miles on the odometer and has recently been imported from the United States. Described as being in good original condition and running well by the vendor it is offered Vat and Duty paid in the UK.
