Yamaha TD1C 250cc Production Racer, 1967 (Showa 42)

This is a 1967 Yamaha TD1C, a 250cc production racer built for privateer competition. Frame number TD1C-000394 and engine number D5-000394 are stated. The seller reports the engine starts immediately via push-start and runs well, having recently been ridden briefly in 1st and 2nd gear near the seller's home. The bike is not a one-owner example, so total mileage and overhaul history are unknown. Notably, the bike is sold as a bare unit only: the seller states there are no remaining original/normal parts, including the cowl, so buyers should expect to receive essentially a chassis with the listed engine/frame numbers rather than a complete, cosmetically finished racer. A photocopy of the parts list can be included if acceptable to the buyer. The seller notes there will be rust, scratches, tears, and peeling not visible in the photos, and encourages in-person inspection, especially given the bike's age (57 years old) and its status as a specialized racing machine. The seller states they are not deeply knowledgeable about motorcycles and recommends serious bidders arrange to view the bike in person.

Seller reports the engine starts readily and ran well on a short test ride, but the bike is missing all original/normal parts including the cowl and has unspecified rust, scratches, tears, and peeling not visible in photos. Mileage and overhaul history are unknown since the seller is not the original owner.

Shipping: Seller states the bike will ship via a motorcycle transport company, or local pickup can be arranged. No specific carrier, cost, or surcharge is quoted in the listing.
