This one fits that category quite easily. The first thing I will tell you is that I am no expert on Yamaha motorcycles. So if there is a question or concern that I haven't addressed please don't hesitate to call or email. I will tell you what I can see and what I know about the bike. This particular 2015 Yamaha YZF R1 sporting ONLY 1,672 miles was recently traded on a new vehicle at a Dodge Jeep dealership in Limerick, PA roughly 50 miles from me. I was there picking up a Harley and I just liked the look and loved the like new condition. It is a one owner bike. I don't see any damage, nicks, dents or anything else to mention other than some tiny little marks on the fuel tank. I took some pictures of them, but they are so tiny they won't show up. What you see in the pictures is what I am offering for sale. The bike runs out perfectly and has no issues whatsoever. The body panels and aluminum parts have no damage, flaws or etc. I take close 100 pictures to give you multiple angles in different lights so that you can get a clear idea of the condition of the machine. I've been riding motorcycles for over 50 years and this one is not for some faint of heart rookie rider. This bike is a rocket ship clad in blue and white aerodynamic styling. It has all the standard gear and also includes an awesome carbon fiber YOSHIMURA ALPHA muffler. Whoa is the best word to describe this amazing powerhouse of a Sport Bike. Slip into your leathers. Buckle your chin strap on that full face helmet. Slide your leg over the form fitting seat. Turn the key and watch the digital display light up. Touch the starter off and be amazed at the sweet sound of this incredible in line 4-cylinder street machine... and be prepared to meet Jesus. The completely new R1 - MotoGP technology and performance for you! Completely new from the track up. Introducing the most MotoGP inspired R1 ever. From the advanced Rider Active electronics package, to the powerful crossplane crankshaft engine, the line between Supersport bike and factory MotoGP has never been more blurred. Everything except the name has changed. MotoGP, the highest form of motorcycle racing in the world, is our proving ground. The technology Yamaha has pioneered and proven on MotoGP circuits around the world can now be enjoyed by racers and riders alike. The all new R1 provides racers and enthusiast sport riders with a taste of what it would be like to ride the championship winning Yamaha M1. A showcase of Yamaha's technology leadership, the all new R1 raises the bar with its uncompromised performance and handling.Packed with MotoGP YZR-M1 technology, the next generation R1 is here. With a new crossplane engine, short wheelbase chassis and high-tech electronics, it's ready to connect to your body and take your riding to a new level. Developed without compromise using YZR-M1 MotoGP technology, the R1 was born for the track. 200PS, 199kg and 1,405mm wheelbase give an insight into its capabilities. But it's what you can't see that makes this focused superbike so special. Its central nervous system is a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit that constantly senses chassis motion in 3D, creating controllability over traction, slides, front wheel lift, braking and launches. Yamaha R1. We R1.2015 Yamaha YZF-R1 Key Features All new more powerful engine (horsepower & torque) Cross plane crankshaft, titanium "fracture split" con rods, new pistons & offset cylinder Larger valves & high tech "Finger Follower" rocker arms for high RPM use Twin injector 45mm throttle body FI & new higher capacity air box Mid ship 4 into 2 into 1 exhaust system with EXUP & titanium header pipes & muffler Magnesium wheels, oil pan, cylinder head cover & crankcase covers Yamaha Ride Control: PWR / TCS / SCS / LIF / LCS / QSS plus YCC-T & YCC-I Compact and lightweight aluminum Deltabox chassis & swingarm ABS & Unified Brake system, with larger 320mm front discs MotoGP M1 race bike inspired body design TFT multifunction instrument / display LED headlights, position lights & turn signalsENGINE All new, ultra-lightweight, compact, 998cc, DOHC, 16-valve (4-valves / cyl.), liquid-cooled, in-line four-cylinder engine with "cross plane" style crankshaft. The key components of this cutting edge engine design are the "cross plane" crankshaft and an uneven firing order. Both of these features are used on Yamaha's race winning M1 MotoGP racer. The R1 cross plane crankshaft locates the center two rods at a 90 degree plane from the outer cylinders. This means instead of the crank pins aligned on the same plane (a straight line drawn through the center of the crankshaft), they align on 2 planes in the form of a cross ... or "cross plane". Working in conjunction with the cross plane crank is an uneven firing order. This R1 engine fires 1,3,2,4 cylinders and the firing intervals are uneven at 270 / 180/ 90 /180 degrees. What all this means to the rider is the most linear torque possible and amazing throttle control. This engine design allows a whole new level of rider - machine communication. One of the most important benefits is the outstanding cornering performance that increased engine control allows. The key engineering goal for the new R1 is increased power with excellent controllability. Horsepower increases have gained through increased intake air volume, reduced internal friction and weight reductions. The new R1 is a "rider's machine". New, 4-valve cylinder head design features new compact pent roof combustion chambers that utilize lightweight titanium valves on the intake side. The 4-valve design optimizes breathing efficiency and overall engine performance. Combustion chamber volume is carefully monitored to ensure exact volume for maximum power. New, larger valves for 2015. Titanium intake valves are 33mm in diameter ('14 = 31mm) while the steel exhaust valves are 26.5 mm in diameter ('14 = 25mm). The lightweight titanium intake valves reduce reciprocating weight allowing for higher rpms without the concern of valve float. New intake port shape provides maximum filling efficiency. The port shape, valve placement and combustion chamber shape induce a tumbling effect of the inbound fuel - air charge that increases combustion speed, power and torque. 13:1 compression ratio All new "finger follower rocker arms" are used. This system reduces friction, allows greater valve lift and provides super accurate control of valve opening and closing at high rpms. The sliding area of the rocker arms feature a DLC (diamond like coating) to reduce friction and wear. Valve adjustment pads sit under the rocker arm. Valve adjustment intervals are every 40,000 kms. Newly designed high performance intake & exhaust cams work in conjunction with the new finger follower rocker arm system. New design, lightweight, closed deck aluminum cylinder features a ceramic coating applied directly to the liner-less aluminum block to ensure uniform heat dissipation reduced friction and reduced weight. Closed deck design allows the cylinders to be spaced more closely together, providing a narrower engine. Cylinder is a stand-alone design (not integrated into the upper crank case). Offset cylinder / crank design offsets the cylinder block relative to the crankshaft (to the exhaust side) to reduce frictional losses between the pistons and the cylinder wall during the power stroke for improved power output. New, short skirt, forged aluminum pistons offer light weight, fast throttle response and great reliability. The piston features a box shaped "bridge box " on the underside for increased rigidity and a special Deflic coating to further reduce friction. Ring expansion tension is optimized to reduce frictional losses. New piston oil coolers spray oil at the underside of the piston to reduce piston temperatures. New, narrower cross plane crankshaft design. Crankshaft is over 25 mm (1") narrower than the '14 version. Crank inertial moment has been engineered to achieve linear throttle response, strong acceleration and excellent cornering exit control. To achieve excellence response when accelerating, the inertial moment of the crankshaft has been set at a level approximately 20% less than the '14 YZF-R1. All new, super light, fracture split titanium connecting rods feature a nutless design. The lower end "cap" of the rod is made from the same piece of material as the upper portion and is cracked away in a process known as "fracture splitting". This process ensures true big end roundness and greater precision in con rod dimensions. Lightweight design (60% lighter than a conventional steel con rod) reduces horsepower losses and provides faster throttle response. These fracture split "Ti" rods are a world's first to be used on a production motorcycle. New single axis balancer shaft is used to reduce engine vibration. Compact ACM (alternator) is mounted directly to the crankshaft. The compact ACM uses rare earth magnets which produce more power for a given size than conventional magnets, therefore reducing size and weight. Newly designed, Mikuni fuel injection system features twin injectors (one set of primary & one set of secondary injectors). This twin injector system is also used on our M1 MotoGP race bike and the R6. One set of injectors (primary) are located in the 45mm throttle bodies while the secondary injectors are located in the air box very near the computer controlled intake funnels. The primary injectors utilize 12-holes to maximize the fuel atomization process. The secondary injectors, located inside the air box, begin to function at mid rpms onwards to supply more fuel as required and also use 12-hole injectors. Dual oxygen sensors (located just before the muffler box) make this a "closed loop" type FI system, which feeds back info to the ECU so adjustments can be constantly made to the fuel-air mixture for improved performance and reduced emissions. The benefits of fuel injection include excellent throttle response, great fuel economy, reduced emissions, stable idling and no choke start up. YCC-T: Yamaha Chip Control Throttle electronically controls the throttle valves for outstanding response and improved throttle control at all rpms. The YCC-T is used to provide super precise control of the intake air volume for smoother torque character. YCC-I: Yamaha's Chip Controlled Intake means the intake funnels / stacks vary in length (2 positions) depending on engine rpm. An electronic servo motor varies the funnel length from the tall position at low to mid rpms to the shorter setting for improved high rpm power. The revolutionary YCC-I provides the best of both worlds... solid low rpm torque and power combined with an amazing high rpm rush. It takes only 0.3 of a second for the funnels to move from the tall to the short position. Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI) provides a hot spark for sure starts and strong engine performance. New design, compact 6-speed transmission features optimized gear ratios for maximum performance. The "stacked" 3-axis gearbox / clutch design centralizes mass and keeps overall engine size shorter front to back. The stacked design gives the engineers the freedom to place the engine in the "sweet spot" of the frame for optimum weight balance for awesome handling. New, more compact multi-plate slipper and assist clutch assembly (back limiter clutch) reduces rear wheel hop when making down shifts under hard braking. Key benefit is reduced lap times and smoother control. New clutch design is 19% lighter and 7% smaller in diameter than the '14 model. "Ram Air" system force feeds outside air via a duct located between the new LED headlights into the intake system, pressurizing the air box and improving intake efficiency at higher speeds. As speed increases, the air pressurizes the air box, helping the engine to develop maximum power. New, larger computer optimized large capacity 10.5 litre air box maximizes performance. New M1 inspired intake duct with solenoid valve reduces intake noise and improves high rpm power. A viscous type, high flow air filter is utilized. All new, mid ship design 4 into 2 into 1 exhaust system features lightweight titanium header pipes and muffler. This new design maximizes power, reduces weight, it also centralizes mass and lowers the centre of gravity for fast, light, agile handling. This system also contains dual 3-way honeycomb catalyzers which reduce harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions. New exhaust valve device is located in the under engine chamber and it features two separate exhaust flow routes depending on rpm. By controlling the exhaust routing in selected rpm ranges, it has been possible to build a compact muffler that achieves both outstanding power output and torque characteristics while still providing sufficient silencing performance. Yamaha's EXUP System (Yamaha's Exhaust Ultimate Power Valve) controls the exhaust pressure waves for optimum intake and exhaust efficiency. It also helps prevent the "blow back" phenomenon caused by valve overlap and helps reduces "flat spots" in the power band while reducing emissions at the same time. New, high-efficiency curved radiator features dual ring-type fans for maximum cooling efficiency. This curved rad design provides more airflow than conventional flat rad designs. New, air-cooled oil cooler sits below the main rad to maintain stable lubricant temperatures. Water pump is located on the outside of the crankcase to reduce crankcase width. Optimized wet sump lubrication system features new oil routing to the big end rod bearings. New, lightweight, deep bottom magnesium oil pan. Convenient spin-on type oil filter is used. New lightweight magnesium cylinder head cover & crankcase covers secured by new lightweight aluminum bolts. High performance direct ignition coils (ignition coil is built into the spark plug cap) reduce weight while iridium spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver increased spark energy.ELECTRONIC RIDER AIDS:Many of the following rider assist aids are derived from Yamaha's MotoGP race efforts and help make the new R1 more controllable and more enjoyable to ride. We call them Yamaha Ride Control or YRC. At the heart of the electronic rider assist aids are the IMU or Inertial Measurement Unit and ECU or Electronic Control Unit. The IMU detects three directions of acceleration and angular velocity (total of six directions). Additionally the IMU detects primary position by the G-sensor when the ignition switch is turned on. The IMU calculates each signal and finds the vehicle position and behavior (lean angle, slide speed, pitching rate, etc.), and then in conjunction with the ECU it uses this information to control each of the YRC systems. PWR: Power Delivery Model is Yamaha's variable throttle control that enables the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the engine based on riding preferences or conditions. There are 4-power settings available from an enhanced race setting to a slippery condition setting with softer power characteristics. TCS: Traction control system with lean angle sensor features 9 adjustment settings plus an off setting for a total of 10 settings. The system uses front and rear wheel sensors to detect slip and then adjusts / regulates power via the ECU / IMU to control rear wheel traction. In addition to detecting difference in speed between the front and rear wheels, this new system uses input on the degree of bank / lean angle to adjust the degree of TCS intervention to an optimum level in relation to the riding conditions in real-time. As the banking angle increases, the amount of TCS intervention also increases. When the TCS is off, SCS, LIF and LCS systems will automatically shut off as well. SCS: Slide Control System controls engine power when side slip is detected. It adjusts power output to an optimum level to control side slide. There are 3 settings plus off. LIF: Lift Control System (a.k.a. anti-wheelie control) reduces time loss due to wheelies during closed course competition. This system reduces front end lift during starts and acceleration. When the IMU and other sensors detect lift, engine output is adjusted to the optimum level to maintain string acceleration without lift. There are 2 settings plus off. LCS: Launch Control System is adopted to help ensure fast, strong, controllable starts in closed course competition situations. When the LCS is activated, it keeps engine rpm limited to approx. 10,000 rpm and maintains an optimum level of engine power in conjunction with inputs from the TCS and LIF systems, allowing the rider to concentrate on clutch engagement and the other competitors, reducing stress associated with race starts. QSS: Quick Shift System provides smooth, fast upshifts even at full throttle. When the switch on the shift lever rod detects motion, it adjusts engine output and momentarily cancels out the drive torque to promote faster gear shifts. There are 2 settings plus off.CHASSIS/SUSPENSION All new Aluminum Deltabox frame has been designed to offer an optimized rigidity balance to maximize handling performance. This frame offers lightweight and a balance of strength, rigidity and tuned flex. This is a gravity cast frame. The engine is stressed member with rigid mounts. The chassis is designed for optimized overall rigidity balance in the longitudinal, lateral and torsional directions. The result is excellent high-speed stability, cornering characteristics, traction / drive characteristics exiting a corner and greater freedom in choosing a line to run through a turn. The frame design is left-right asymmetrical. Detachable magnesium cast rear subframe reduces weight. The detachable design allows rear shock access and is less costly to repair if accidentally damaged. Lightweight aluminum "upward truss-type" swingarm provides great torsional rigidity for excellent rear wheel traction and control. Swingarm length is 570mm, 15 mm shorter than the '14 model and provides excellent control of the effects of chain tensioning during hard acceleration. Wheel base is a compact 1,405mm (55.3"), 10mm shorter than the '14 version This Deltabox chassis offers an incredible 56 degree lean angle. New, fully adjustable KYB 43mm inverted fork provides good cushioning feel and a solid feeling of front-end contact with the road. Adjustments include 9 turns of spring preload, 17 -way rebound and 7-way compression damping. Front wheel travel is 120mm (4.7"). The adjustable design allows the rider to tailor suspension settings to match rider weight and road /track conditions to maximize handling and suspension performance. MotoGP M1 inspired, gravity cast aluminum upper triple clamp reduces weight and improves styling. Bottom link Monocross rear suspension utilizes a fully adjustable KYB piggyback-style rear shock. Adjustments include spring preload, 17-way rebound and 10-way slow speed compression damping and 3-way high speed compression damping. The bottom link design lowers the centre of gravity for excellent handling. Overall shock length can be adjusted by 5 mm. The adjustable design allows the rider to tailor suspension settings to match rider weight and track or road conditions to maximize handling and suspension performance. Rear wheel travel is 120mm (4.7"). New electric steering damper All new, radial mount, 4-piston monoblock calipers with aluminum pistons squeeze fully floating 320mm dual front rotors. The result is incredible braking performance with excellent control and lever feedback. Other features include; Nissin radial master cylinder, stainless steel mess brake lines and new front brake lever. Single piston slide-type Nissin rear caliper with aluminum piston squeezes a lightweight 220mm rotor. Both front and rear brakes are linked via Yamaha's Unified Braking System (UBS) and feature our latest anti-lock brake (ABS) technology. All new, lightweight, die cast magnesium 10-spoke mag wheels. These wheels save over 1 kg of weight Vs last year's model and contribute to excellent suspension and handling performance. They feature a smooth exterior finish without centre ribs and an electrostatic paint process. Front rim size is MT3.50 x 17 while the rear is MT6.00 x17. New, lightweight 17 litre aluminum fuel tank provides excellent knee grip for hard braking and easy manoeuvrability. Elongated shape helps to centralize mass and reduces the variance in riding feel as the fuel load (weight) changes. This new tank is 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs.) lighter than last year's model. New, eye caching front fairing and windscreen provide a striking YZR-M1 race bike image. The wind tunnel designed windshield offers excellent aerodynamics and features a "screw less" design for a cleaner, more trick appearance. Air resistance has been reduced by 8% compared to the '14 model. New LED headlights and high intensity LED position lights create a "face" never seen before on a motorcycle and provide a very stylish and unique look to the new R1. Fully digital instrument panel with TFT liquid crystal display. The instrument panel offers a striking rider-machine "interface." Displays have been concentrated into a single 4.2-inch screen that adopts a fully transmissive Thin Film Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display that reduces reflections and glare. White or black backgrounds can be selected and it features auto brightness adjustment based on available ambient light. Two modes are available street and track.

No high gas prices, no lyin politician and no slithering terrorist will ever keep me from ridin my Harley because FEAR SUCKS! Freedom and wind will outlast hard times and I dont know about you, but Im gonna ride no matter what! Now dont you think its time for YOU to experience what our forefathers must have thought FREEDOM really looked like! Theres nothing like throwing your leg over the heart pounding V Twin engine that has been the heart and soul of a Harley Davidson for close 115 years. The feel youll get when youre cruisin the streets well thats something every man dreams of and every woman secretly desires. So follow your dreams and allow Harleys Direct turn your dream into reality, today.About My Prices:I do my best to offer higher quality, lower mileage bikes than anyone else and do it at a fair price. Others may be offering bikes for less, but not for a comparable machine. My bikes generally have significantly lower miles than "average" bikes for similar comparisons so mine would be more expensive than a same year bike often, with 40, 50 or 60,000 miles on it. If you think my price is unfair for the condition and mileage, be open with your reasoning, be fair and reasonable and I'll do my best to work with you and make every effort to bring your lifelong dream into reality.About Harleys Direct:I have been a Harley enthusiast for almost 35 years and enjoy them so much that I buy and sell them as a hobby. I handle only top quality machines and when I can get my hands on them, am able to offer them at better than average prices for identical motorcycles found at franchise dealerships. I can do this because I have no overhead and only one mouth to feed. My bikes are not purchased at Powersports Auctions; they are not repos or the bikes other dealers rejected. I purchase the majority of my bikes right out of the garages of the original owners and occasionally from auto dealerships where they are traded. I search high and low for the best motorcycles available and travel upwards of 250 miles in any one direction leaving home some days at 6am and returning many nights at 11pm to find my Harleys. I am positive that there isnt anyone on the internet that works any harder than I do to bring top quality machines to their clients. I only offer above average inventory to the select few who are fortunate enough to "run across" a "harleysdirect.com" offering. Every bike is carefully gone over by a certified Harley technician with adjustments to all necessary components, a fresh oil change and a thorough test ride. I guarantee all my Harleys to be of the best quality and the cleanest found anywhere with no stories or long explanations. If you aren't 100% satisfied with your purchase I will happily release you with no questions and a full refund of your deposit. I have sold bikes to more than 40 states, Costa Rica, Australia, Germany, Puerto Rico, Arab Emeritus Dubai, Canada, Laos, Thailand and many of my local communities and I do not have any unhappy client anywhere. I'm a very particular person and do this for a fun. I will tell you what I know and can see. People say I'm a little anal, I just think I'm particularly fussy. My personal bikes get no more attention when I clean, detail and service them. I like to keep it simple, no pressure, no sales pitches, no screaming or yelling about "this months special" just straight forward biker honesty. You WILL love dealing with "harleysdirect.com"!**ALERT**All of my machines are for sale outside of Ebay and I would estimate that 90% of my Harleys sell BEFORE the auction comes to a close so dont delay.

FUN ! FUN ! to Ride This is a Bike that most everyone seems to think feels very natural to them & fits most say it fits them like a Glove ! The 400's were also based on the 250 chassis etc so Displacement size it is Super light & Super Strong + Very Agile ...As it's center of Mass is fairly Low for a Bike of this size & Great for New Riders as it's seat is fairly low off the Ground Most People agree these YAMAHA 250 YZ's are Possibly one of the MORE FUN , MOST RELIABLE & Best Built & "Hands Down" one of the MOST Trouble Free Dirt Racing bikes made ! & This Baby seems to Run GREAT ! ..& Typically she Starts Super Quick !! and there are plenty of Great People that carry a TON of parts for these Wonderful YAMAHA Dirt/ Race bikes should you ever need anything! (In fact I have several Great Spare YAMAHA Dirt Racing engines as well as cylinders & heads etc etc etc. up for sale right now ). Keep in mind this bike has been in a garage in covered storage for several decades !!!! & as you can see...It is in AMAZING CONDITION ! ... In Fact ...I think she has her Original Gas Tank, Front Fenders and right & left Side Number Panels are in Good Shape and like her beautiful tank have all been refinished and as you can see I think they ALL Look Great ! & Yes, She has what looks to be New old stock Original 1977-79 YZ YAMAHA Graphics !!!! My Mechanic and I flushed out the tank, Carb Fuel lines & the entire Fuel System & added a Brand New in line Gas Filter, & again it looks to have Her ORIGINAL YAMAHA Gas tank ..This Beauty STARTS & RUNS GREAT & She is "Ready to Go have some fun with" ! Try to keep in mind these Wonderful Bikes are all About FUN ! ......Think About it if You pass this Baby Up ....where else will you ever find a 1977 YZ 400 CC YAMAHA "Off Road" Racing Bike with so little use & so Little abuse ...on her ! ! ! As far as Dirt bikes Go ...the bigger the bikes displacement is... the less hard the bike has to work (IE) many Enthusiasts feel a 250's engine will last FAR Longer than a 125 !!! ....Also, this bike looks to be in Very Nice Condition (Even her DID style Alloy Wheels LOOK GREAT ! ! ! ! ! ! Most everyone that I have talked to over the years has told me that these YZ 250 YAMAHA VINTAGE Dirt RACING Bikes were one of the very Best & Most advanced bikes of it's day....& based on my experience with these YZ 250cc Bikes ... I would have to add maybe "One of this ERA's Very Best, Most DURABLE & Fastest and Most Versatile Dirt bikes EVER MADE !!!! Many of My Very Best friends & Best Racing Buddies used to have several of these YZ 250s & another friend had a YZ 400s when they first came out He was Big in "The Checkers" Dirt Racing Motorcycle Racing Club....& I can tell you their YZ 250's were FAR Better (100,000,000%) better than my 1974 250 YAMAHA MX & I would have bought a YZ 250 also to but I was just financially unable to swing a Bike that Nice..... If you live out of the Country I will be glad to supply you with a California Certified "NOTORIZED * BILL of SALE" as I recently sent two of my Vintage Collection bikes to the United Kingdom (England) and that is all that they required. To my eye ...I think She looks Great ! ...I have always been very Proud of this particularly Beautiful 1977 250 cc.YAMAHA YZ 250 VINTAGE DIRT RACING Bike !! ....& Even in 2014 She Still LOOKS GREAT !!! + She Starts Easy & Runs & Shifts GREAT ! as these are Super Reliable & DURABLE Bikes ! & Everyone seems to be in agreement that .... "These Bikes are GREAT ! & Quite Possibly one of the More FUN & RELIABLE Bikes I have Ever ridden in the past "FIVE" Decades Since the late 1950's !" (...& I was a Technical Editor for "CYCLE NEWS" Magazine 1969-1975 (at that time it was the Largest Motorcycle publication on Earth ! ! ! & I wrote 14 Four to Five page Featured Technical Articles for "Cycle News" magazine & Also, I was a Four+ Year Sponsored Open Class "TT" & "Half Mile" Racer for "BULTACO" Motorcycles late 1969 to 1975 So ...No One Loves a Great Dirt Bike Better than Me ! ....and again ........If you Pass Up this Wonderful Bike where will you ever find a Vintage 1970's YAMAHA Off Road Racing Bike this NICE Especially with so little use on Her ????? ??????

Unlike many other dirt bikes are probably one of the Easier to Ride & I think Most Most Rider Friendly 400cc displacement Class Dirt Racing Bikes ever Made !!! & this 1977 YZ 250 is BY FAR one of the Most Evolved Early Successful Dirt Racing Bikes as it has all of the Most sought after Goodies (Self Tuning Reed Valve Inductions system, For the First time Decent "Air Pressured" "Big Travel" Forks & "Pressured" Decent Travel Rear Shock Suspension with its Pressurized & heat treated Aluminum Forks "Super Strong" MONO shock Rear suspension (again..."in 1977 All of this was Dirt Racing "Rocket Science" that Really Worked GREAT " ! ! ! ), Very Simple less hassle far more reliable Air Cooled (These Had a Much better than the later 1980's early water cooled YAMAHA's Etc etc I have heard) (this being one of the last years of these Very Perfected YAMAHA 250 cc ("Air Cooled") engines ( Factory Tuned MX style Race Factory YAMAHA TUNED EXPANSION Chamber style) Tuned Exhaust Pipe , Original Factory Big Radial style Cooling HEAD & All of this Yet She is still nice and (relatively) fairly low to the Ground ( Lower Center of Gravity makes this bike Far More Stable less Scary for Newer Riders) and because of her fairly Low height She will even fit in right into my Chevy Astro Mini Van even with the vans center seat still in place !!!! How many 400 CC Off Road DIRT RACING bikes can do that ! This Baby Typically Starts Quick & EASY !
