Yamaha DT400
This is a matching numbers (1m2) 1977 DT400 imported and registered in the UK in 2022, showing two former keepers on the V5C. Starts easily and sounds mechanically good, everything works as it should and although it shows some signs of the 16,473 miles recorded on the speedo such as battle-scarred plastics it looks beautiful with recent paintwork and seat cover. There is no paperwork to confirm our suspicion that the engine may have been rebuilt but it does seem very healthy for the miles if it hasn’t. The original exhaust is in exceptionally good condition and this along with the original alloy rims in good condition gives it that original DT400 look, feel and sound! Don’t know about you but we had 175s and dreamed of owning the big DT, well now is your chance!
