Yamaha TT description

This TT500 belonged to a friend for many years. It was used in the 80's to ride to the trail heads of every 14ner in Colorado. At that time lights and mirrors were added and it was titled to make it street legal.Lights are not hooked up at this time.
After all 14ner were conquered it was parked in a shed. I bought the bike a few years ago to get it running and use on local trails. After changing the oil and cleaning the carburetor I eventually figured out how to properly start this beast. It never smoked. Riding it up the street and doing an involuntary "Wheelie" I decided that this is not for me. Last week I cleaned the carburetor again and started it.
Some research showed me that this is the 152nd TT500 ever build, and I would guess that most of them were either wrecked or are by now scrapped.
The value of this bike lies in its extremely low serial number and the original low exhaust. The original tank and exhaust end piece "disappeared" while parked. Please look closely at all pictures !
The numbers on engine and frame match, I have a Colorado title in my name.
This bike deserves to be expertly restored.

Andrea Dovizioso Signs with Tech 3 Yamaha for 2012

Tue, 11 Oct 2011

The Tech 3 MotoGP team has reached a one-year agreement with Andrea Dovizioso, signing the Repsol Honda factory rider to take Colin Edwards’ place on the Yamaha satellite team in the 2012 season. Dovizioso will join the Tech 3 Yamaha team after three years with the Repsol Honda team. Despite currently holding onto the third overall spot on the 2011 championship points standings with five podium appearances and 13 top-five finishes in 15 races, Dovizioso found himself the odd man out with Honda which will stick with a two-man factory team of Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa with Marco Simoncelli riding a factory-supported Honda RC212V with the Gresini team.
