SUMMARY

The all-conquering, 4-cylinder 500cc TZ500H. Part of a substantial private collection of Yamaha race bikes.

DESCRIPTION

  • Yamaha's TZ250 and TZ350 racers dominated the World Championship in the mid to late 1970s
  • Yamaha were desperate for a machine to compete against the Suzuki RG500 in the 500cc class
  • Their answer was the TZ500H, a piston port, 4-cylinder, 2-stroke, 6-speed production Grand Prix racer
  • Built around a mono-shock frame and featuring fully adjustable front and rear suspension, creating a replica of the 'works' bikes
  • This restored, matching numbers, example is presented in good overall condition
  • Forming part of a large private Yamaha collection
  • Displayed for the last few years so will require recommissioning before use
  • Rare opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Yamaha racing history
