I figured this was worth sharing. Auction closes on December 18.

Link: 1963 TD1-B Yamaha 250 GP Bike

From the description:

These iconic machines rarely become available and even more rarely as a restoration project. As such, we are proud to offer this 1963 example. Carrying frame number T1-453 and engine number DS6-222, this machine retains much of its original parts and even its original owner's and workshop manuals.

Said to be around 90% complete, most key components are present, having been partially restored. Work done includes restoration of the fuel tank, fairing, and tachometer. The front fender is not present.

That would be a fantastic answer to the local kart track moto club's insurance suddenly banning all bikes that ever had license plates immediately after I bought a 250 Ninja...

Fortunately, I think getting it home from the antipodes is likely to put it beyond worrying about...
