This is really awesome news! Wayne will ride his 500cc bike from his 92 championship season at the Goodwood Festival of Speed! :patriot:
Goodwood has been on my bucketlist for quite a while. Wish I could get over there to watch. I suppose one could spend a month in GB and attend both the TT and Goodwood with the proper planning, enough vacation time, and a thick wallet.

Looks good from a distance but has some issues and items that raise questions:
Ad doesn't mention that the airbox has been replaced with tiny aftermarket metal-capped pod filters. (Doubtful they rejetted for those since jets for the Teikei carbs are unobtanium.)
The carbs are no longer painted black and one side is missing the rubber cable boot.
What the heck is going on with that clutch cable routing?!  :rolleyes:
The oil nozzle banjo screws are different, right and left.
Never seen BP7HS plugs used in an RD. (hotter protruded tip plugs compared to the OE B8HS, but I supposed they'll work)
The VIN number is outside the range reported by Yamaha in their documents, ( -011320 vs. -011149) :umm: Suppose that Yamaha could have made an error. They've been know to do that on occasion.

Anyone have a source for the small in-tank fuel pickup filters found on RD petcocks? Similar to the ones shown in the first pic. The one for the regular fuel pickup is a 6mm ID slip fit that is pressed on to the brass tube. The reserve pickup looks to be about a 6mm OD and is pressed into the petcock body. Thanks

Don't recall seeing one of these before. Two-stroke 125cc single, 27HP, 6-speed, electric start, 271 lbs. Looks like a fun little bike!
(Listing claims it has a 7-speed, but all the info I could find online says they were all 6-speeds)

Two more low-mileage clean 76s going up for auction at Mecum Las Vegas later this month.
After the last one on BaT went for over $12K recently, wonder what these will do?
Mileage is nearly the same for all three.
