1979 Yamaha RD-400 Daytona Special - $5,900 (Artesia)
1979 Yamaha RD 400 Daytona Special, rare two stoke engine motorcycle, electronic ignition, new battery and carbs were just cleaned and tuned, pre-mix, not oil injected. I stored the motorcycle for many years and the right front faring is broken and gas tank has a dent near the filler cap from a item falling on it in my garage. Also during the time it was stored, the battery leaked an corroded the paint on the right side of the frame. The motorcycle has a clean title and is currently registered. Tires have tread but are old since the motorcycle was stored for many years. I have too many activities and just don't ride it enough to justify keeping the motorcycle any longer.

I wonder what the person was thinking when they decided to paint it that hideous green.   :umm:

I wonder if he had matching leathers and helmet complete with green tinted face shield.

With that much green, he should have carried it onto the seat, shocks, engine, and pipes.  :dawg: Has me flashing back to an RZ I saw for sale many years ago that HAD the FULL theme going on.  :eek:

Same bike is for sale again, and now a lot more expensive (probably a flipper).
How can you ask $9500 for a bike that "needs a little bit of work"?  :umm:

Sorry to say but to my eye, just as UGLY. Who the F would paint that green? I love the stock colors of a Daytona. Always have from the time there was one at my local motorcycle shop in CA 1979.
