The Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. The launch of the XT500 in the late 1970s began a trend for large capacity four stroke adventure bikes that went on to dominate the Paris-Dakar rally for a number of years.
This New Old Stock XTZ660 Tenere, being offered at no reserve, was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure in 2000 took everything home and mothballed them in his house. The bike is just how it would have been when taken out of its packing case all those years ago and displayed in the shop awaiting sale. This time warp machine has never been run, used or registered and comes supplied with its original DVLA V55/1 and the owners hand book. A unique opportunity to acquire a 'brand new' 31 year old bike.
