1979 Yamaha RD400F Daytona Special, $5,900 - CL - Artesia, CA

[SoCal250]

Relisted again. This time it says it needs engine work. Yet he still wants $8500 for it.
And the mileage went from 17K to 11K 

"NEEDS TO FINISH TOP END ASSEMBLY SO IT DOES NOT RUN.
DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPRESSION TO START SO I GOT THE PARTS FOF THE FRESH TOP END."
"VERY FIRM ON THE PRICE"

by the time the crank breaks it will be at 10k.

[RDFL]

Even the side stand!!!

[hayduke]

He must be basing the price off the $600 side covers and $80 bent brake levers on ebay

He'd have better luck selling if he just shot it with grey primer

[SoCal250]

Seems he had the engine work done. However the price went up $3K to $11,500, and another 1K miles disappeared

"JUST FINISHED INSTALLING NEW TOP END WITH WEISACO PISTONS AND RINGS.
CARBS ADJUSTED TOO.
HAS GREAT COMPRESSION"

"VERY FAST. FASTER THEN ALL RD400 OUT THERE." 

[rodneya]

Don't know how he miss the Chain Cover

Or the rear springs

I LOVE WISEACO PISTONS!  SO FAST.

I think that ad killed a few brain cells.

Will someone please buy this green monster! He has it on Offer up and I get updates on it every day!
It's driving me crazy!🤣

Now it's in Sherman Oaks    mileage dropped again from 10,050 to 10,000. And I guess because it has lower mileage now, the price has dropped accordingly from $11,500 to $10,750. Soon it will be one of those 1-mile Daytonas that used to pop up every few months about 8-10 yrs ago.

I like how he describes it as a "2STROK SURVIVOR"   the definition of 'a survivor' must really have changed

And remember, it's a "SOLID INVESTMENT THAT CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE.

This bike keeps coming up. I keep looking.

It never gets less green.

[IR8D8R]

Some people just can't resist free paint.

It's free because IT'S UGLY!

-$2k on the price for that reason. It's like a yellow Jeep.

it may have survived but the equality of life is LOW

[SoCal250]

Still for sale more than 2 years later, but the price has been lowered to $8K

I don't think he understands what a survivor is
