1974 Yamaha 175MX AHRMA / Vintage / CalVMX / Hammer & Tongs -AVDRA
Nice looking stock survivor! I bought with the intention of racing this MX175 in the 250 class. Light like a 125 (190#) with more power than a 125, less weight than a 250.
I bought the bike from a guy in So.Cal who said it had been sitting indoors for years (looks great!) I started buying trick stuff for it, which I will sell to the high bidder if interested.
I bought a brand new JEMCO pipe ($300), New Metzeler M4 rear tire ($80), New Michelin S-12 front tire ($80), New tubes front and back ($30), New Progressive shocks for 250 MX model 1/2" longer ($275).
AND I had Eric Harvey at Nor-Cal Vintage Racing build me the best 34mm DT-1 forks money can buy! They have had the internals hard coated and Race Tech Emulators tricked out (proprietary stuff), with new springs and seals, etc.
BEST FORKS of ANY Vintage bike I have raced!! ($680.00)- Also have the 34mm MX triple clamps and new Renthal 666 bend bars ($80). And a short float bowled 32mm Keihin from a CR 125 ($100)
Almost forgot - NEW Seat cover ($75) (foam is fine).
So, you can see all ready to have a 190/lb. rocket for the 250 expert class.
Then - I got hurt. I busted up my hip real good so,...I am DONE!! Since I am done racing,...no need for a reserve.
Bike is for sale stock (even has the oil-injection) -very stock! And you can purchase all the cool stuff with it - but the good parts are NOT PART OF THE BID!!
I would like $1k for the forks, shocks, tires, etc. ALL the stuff seen above

Video: Catalunya 2009, that pass
Mon, 19 Dec 2011The battle between Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo from Catalunya was one of the most memorable and thrilling races from recent years, a definite candidate for one of the Greatest Grand Prix races - ever. Passing Lorenzo at the final corner was the defining moment that is still talked about today, but for me the most incredible and bold pass made by Rossi in those final few laps was out-braking his former Yamaha team-mate around the outside into turn one.
I can die happy!
Wed, 04 Sep 2013As an eighteen year old Kenny Roberts was my bike racing God. I loved Barry Sheene but as a Yamaha FS1E rider I always wanted the little American to win simply because his bike resembled mine. The coverage of Grand Prix in the late seventies was sketchy but I clearly remember watching the epic Sheene/Roberts battle unfold at the Silverstone GP on my council estate telly. The Dutchman, Wil Hartog was hanging in there for a while but as the laps unfolded it became a two way battle with Sheene looking favourite to win. Sheene lost the most time as the pair lapped a certain George Fogarty so my hero Roberts eventually won by just three hundredths of a second. I’m not sure what happened next but being a Sunday we would no doubt be skidding around later in the day at the Pines chippie pretending to be Roberts and Sheene. Fast forward thirty four years and a boyhood fantasy came true as I headed out on Chris Wilson’s 1980 Roberts machine for the Barry Sheene tribute laps at last weekend’s Moto GP. It crackled into life instantly and felt as sharp as any of the more modern 500s I used to race. The temperature gauge had a maximum marker on 60 degrees so to begin with I was nervous as it didn’t move but being a hot day (although still keeping my hand on the clutch) I convinced myself it wasn’t working. The bike felt tiny, not helped by the fact I only just squeezed into my 1989 Marlboro Yamaha leathers. It still felt rapid though as I played out the 1979 classic in my head while getting tucked in down the Hanger straight. Steve Parrish was also out there on one of Barry’s 500cc Heron Suzukis so we did our best to copy the famous last lap at Woodcote Corner where Sheene came so close to winning his home GP. As a lad I would have said the chances of me riding round Silverstone on a GP winning Kenny Roberts machine were zero, but in the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true!
