The Yamaha DT400 is one of our all-time favorite vintage Enduro motorcycles. These legendary big-bore, single-cylinder two-strokes have developed an enthusiastic following among collectors, restorers, and vintage off-road enthusiasts. This particular DT400 is an excellent candidate for a complete restoration or just get it running as is preservation project. It retains many of its original factory components, including the fuel tank, seat, exhaust, handlebars, gauges, suspension, and engine cases. This motorcycle is currently NOT running and is being offered AS-IS as a restoration project. FROM A PRIVATE CONNECTICUT MOTORCYCLE COLLECTION This DT400 was recently acquired as part of a private collection belonging to our late friend Mike, a lifelong Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast who sadly passed away at just 62 years old. Mike had assembled an impressive collection of classic Japanese motorcycles, including several desirable Yamahas. We acquired the collection from his estate and are now offering a number of these motorcycles to collectors and enthusiasts who will appreciate and preserve them. Other Yamahas from this collection include: Yamaha 100cc street bike Yamaha Chappy 100 Yamaha R5 350 two-stroke Yamaha DT400 Enduro Yamaha XT500 Yamaha XS500 Yamaha 750 triple All are being offered as individual restoration projects in their as-acquired condition. At Kaplan Cycles, we currently have approximately 240 motorcycles in inventory awaiting various levels of service or restoration, with additional collections arriving. Although we originally intended to restore this DT400 ourselves, our restoration department has a substantial backlog. Rather than have this classic Yamaha sit awaiting its turn, we've decided to offer it to the next caretaker who can bring it back to its former glory. ORIGINALITY, COSMETIC CONDITION & FEATURES One of the most appealing aspects of this DT400 is the number of original factory components still present. Fuel Tank: The original factory Yamaha fuel tank remains intact and presents well for its age. The exterior is in good overall condition, and the inside of the tank also appears to be in good condition. Finding an original DT400 fuel tank in respectable condition is a major advantage when beginning a restoration. Mileage: The factory instrumentation shows only 4,830 miles . This is relatively low indicated mileage for a motorcycle of this vintage. Actual mileage has not been independently verified. Engine: The original 400cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine kicks over and IS NOT SEIZED. The engine has not been started or tested under running conditions, NO COMPRESSION TEST WAS DONE. Front End & Suspension: The front end appears straight and intact. The original fork tubes and fork lowers are in decent condition. Both factory headlight mounting ears appear straight, without obvious bending or deformation. Gauges & Controls: The original factory gauges are in excellent cosmetic condition. The handlebars appear straight and in good condition, the switch housings are intact, and the original-style turn signals remain present. Seat: The original-style seat is in good overall condition. We installed the missing seat retaining pins after the video. Exhaust System: The motorcycle retains its original-style exhaust system, an important component for anyone seeking an authentic factory-style restoration. Rear Suspension & Wheels: The original rear shock absorbers are still installed. The motorcycle currently wears a knobby rear tire, a common modification on these dual-purpose Yamaha Enduros. Frame, Footpegs & Engine Cases: The frame, footpegs, and engine cases are in good overall condition. The motorcycle presents as a solid, substantially complete original survivor. Rear Taillight: The taillight currently installed is not the original factory unit. A correct replacement may be sourced during restoration.

The DT400's relatively straightforward air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke design makes it an appealing motorcycle for enthusiasts familiar with vintage Japanese motorcycles. A FANTASTIC WINTER RESTORATION PROJECT! The 1975 Yamaha DT400 represents an exciting period in Yamaha's off-road history, when large-displacement two-stroke Enduros were among the most desirable dual-purpose motorcycles available. The DT400 combined the character of a powerful two-stroke engine with the versatility of a street-legal, off-road-capable motorcycle. Today, these machines are sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate their mechanical simplicity, unmistakable two-stroke sound, vintage styling, and historical significance.

FRAME-UP RESTORATION | RESTO-MOD Here's an outstanding opportunity to own a beautiful, 52-year-old, 1974 Yamaha DT175 Enduro that has been treated to a restoration and transformed into a lightweight, off-road-focused vintage trail machine! This is exactly the kind of motorcycle that made the early 1970s such an incredible era for motorcycling. Back then, a Yamaha DT175 was your ticket to freedom. You could spend an entire Saturday afternoon riding through the fields, exploring wooded trails, cruising around the farm, or simply enjoying the unmistakable sound and smell of a classic Yamaha two-stroke. These bikes were built to be ridden, and that's exactly what happened to most of them. They were ridden hard, modified, crashed, repaired, and eventually worn out or abandoned. Finding a surviving example that has received this much mechanical and cosmetic attention is becoming increasingly difficult. This DT175 has been given a second life, with extensive restoration work, beautiful refinished components, numerous new parts, and excellent running performance. It is not a perfect, factory-correct, concours-level restoration, and we're going to tell you exactly why. What it is, however, is a beautiful, well-sorted, rider-quality vintage Yamaha that offers tremendous enjoyment and exceptional value. 1) The Paint Job on the tank is an Amateur Job Done by the previous owner, looks good from 10' but up close you see the imperfections, we left it that way to keep price down, a show quality paint job can be done but will add $1,000 to the price if we send i to the paint shop. i think it looks fine as is for a dirt bike! 2) Original seat was recovered and it has the original seat foam which is harder than a plush new one would be (a new seat foam can be bought for $100 and installed yourself) 3) The Brake stay arm, triple clamps, frame bash plate, and kickstand have pitting from rust, they were sand blasted and repainted gloss black but the pitting is still visible. The frame is beautiful. 4) The exhaust was restored and repainted, it has a small ding on the front. 5) The chrome on the forks is pitted so the fork uppers were cleaned and wrapped in gloss black vinyl with new fork boots. RESTORED AS A LIGHTWEIGHT OFF-ROAD ENDURO Originally, the 1974 Yamaha DT175 was a street-legal dual-sport motorcycle equipped with a headlight, taillight, speedometer, tachometer, battery, and the other equipment necessary for street operation. Like many of these machines, this particular example was stripped of its road equipment earlier in its life and converted for off-road use. The lighting equipment, instruments, battery, and most of the original wiring harness are no longer present. The oil-injection system has also been removed, and the motorcycle is now configured to run on pre-mixed two-stroke fuel. Then rear shocks have been replaced with new reproductions that are stiff for 240+ lb rider. Removing the original road equipment has made the motorcycle substantially lighter, with an estimated weight savings of approximately 25 pounds compared to its original street-equipped configuration. The original airbox and intake snorkel have been retained, cleaned, and restored. The resulting machine is simple, lightweight, responsive, and a blast to ride. THIS IS A DEDICATED OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLE IN ITS PRESENT CONFIGURATION, NOT A STREET-LEGAL MACHINE. FRAME-UP RESTORATION This Yamaha wasn't simply washed, detailed, and put up for sale. It was extensively disassembled and restored, with considerable attention paid to the engine, chassis, wheels, suspension, brakes, drivetrain, controls, and appearance. The frame was stripped of its major components and refinished in a beautiful black, powder-coat finish. Numerous original parts were carefully cleaned, polished, refinished, or replaced. The original chrome wheel rims were retained and cleaned, the hubs were refinished, the fork lowers were polished, and the engine cases and covers received extensive cosmetic attention. Brand-new tires, tubes, shocks, fenders, handlebars, controls, cables, chain, sprocket components, and hardware were installed. The finished motorcycle has the authentic character of a 1970s Yamaha Enduro, with a great combination of original components and tasteful off-road upgrades. ENGINE AND MECHANICAL RESTORATION The legendary Yamaha 175cc, air-cooled, reed-valve two-stroke single is one of the great small-displacement engines of the era. Known for its simple construction, impressive durability, and excellent power-to-weight ratio, this engine helped establish Yamaha's reputation for building dependable and enjoyable off-road motorcycles. This particular engine received extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration. ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN WORK INCLUDES: Has the original crankshaft in good working condition Original transmission retained Replacement clutch friction plates Engine removed, cleaned, and refinished Aluminum engine cases carefully cleaned and polished Original aluminum engine covers sanded and polished Cylinder refinished in black Cylinder head refinished Cooling-fin edges polished for a beautiful finished appearance Carburetor completely cleaned and restored New intake components New reed-valve intake hardware New fuel petcock New fuel lines New fuel filter New spark plug New spark plug cap Fresh transmission gear lubricant Original exhaust cleaned, sandblasted, and refinished COMPRESSION TEST RESULT: AN EXCELLENT 145 PSI! This Yamaha runs exceptionally well, with crisp throttle response and strong power delivery for a 175cc two-stroke. The restored carburetor looks excellent, and the polished engine cases and refinished cylinder give the engine a beautiful vintage appearance. The clutch friction plates have been replaced, and the engine has received the attention

A SPECTACULAR 53-YEAR-OLD YAMAHA CLASSIC! FULL NUT-AND-BOLT RESTORATION! EXTREMELY LOW MILES! RARE SURVIVOR!

Finished in its gorgeous factory-correct Brigade Blue , this 53-year-old classic has undergone an extensive, no-expense-spared, frame-off restoration. The result is an exceptionally beautiful, mechanically sorted, collector-quality Yamaha that looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor in 1973! Showing approximately 1,003 miles, this motorcycle spent many years in a private collection before receiving a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration. Finding an AT3 this clean is extraordinarily difficult. Finding one with such low mileage, its original street equipment intact, and this level of restoration is something truly special.

This is an outstanding investment-grade-quality restoration intended for the serious Yamaha enthusiast, vintage motorcycle collector, or someone who wants to relive the golden age of motorcycling. THE LAST OF THE AT SERIES – A TRUE YAMAHA CLASSIC The 1973 Yamaha AT3 represents the final chapter of Yamaha's legendary AT-series 125cc Enduros before the subsequent DT125 designation. These motorcycles helped define an entire generation of riding. For a young man growing up in the early 1970s, owning one of these was the ultimate ticket to freedom! You could ride it to school during the week, strap your gym bag or lunch onto the factory luggage rack, and head out for adventure after class. On the weekends, you could put your sweetheart on the back, ride down to the beach, meet your friends at the local sand pits, or explore the trails. Unlike a dedicated dirt bike, the Yamaha AT3 came equipped with everything needed for street use: Factory headlight and taillight Front and rear turn signals Speedometer and tachometer Electric starting system Passenger footpegs Rear luggage rack Street and trail capability Yamaha's legendary oil-injected two-stroke engine These little Yamahas were practically bulletproof, and that's exactly why so few beautiful originals survived. Most were ridden hard, crashed in the woods, stripped of their lights and turn signals, and eventually worn out. Not this one! This remarkable example survived with its beautiful original components intact, spent many years in a private collection, and shows approximately 1,003 miles. Its exceptional preservation made it the perfect candidate for a comprehensive restoration. And that's precisely what it received. COMPLETE FRAME-OFF, NUT-AND-BOLT RESTORATION This motorcycle was completely dismantled, right down to the bare frame. The engine was removed, the chassis disassembled, and each component individually evaluated, refinished, polished, painted, plated, or replaced as necessary. The frame was professionally sandblasted and powder coated in its original black finish. The fuel tank received a beautiful repaint , a spectacular deep blue with an almost purplish tint that perfectly captures the styling of the early 1970s. The original-style tank graphics were applied, and the paintwork and overall fit and finish are absolutely outstanding. The oil injection tank was refinished, and the rear fender was repainted in its original metallic silver. The attention to detail throughout this restoration is extraordinary. CHASSIS, PAINT & COSMETIC RESTORATION Complete frame-off restoration Frame professionally sandblasted and powder coated black Fuel tank interior thoroughly cleaned and restored Oil injection tank professionally repainted Rear fender refinished in factory-correct metallic silver Original chrome wheels beautifully preserved Wheel hubs vapor honed and refinished Original aluminum brake backing plates polished Original exhaust system beautifully restored Original exhaust baffle retained Factory exhaust nameplate in exceptional condition Original rear shocks beautifully preserved Factory passenger pegs retained Rider footpegs and brake pedal refinished Kickstand refinished Hardware individually polished, painted, plated, or restored New seat cover installed Brand-new rear drive chain with gold finish Black rear sprocket Original-style chain guide beautifully preserved Everywhere you look, the quality of this restoration speaks for itself. The original chrome rims are gorgeous. The aluminum components shine. The restored black chassis provides a stunning contrast against the deep blue fuel tank and silver fender. The level of detail is remarkable for a motorcycle of this vintage. BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED FRONT END & CONTROLS Take a close look at the handlebars, controls, headlight, and front suspension. These are the areas where most vintage Enduros show decades of abuse, corrosion, and wear. On this machine, they look absolutely spectacular. Beautiful original chrome handlebars Brand-new mirrors Brand-new handlebar grips Exceptionally clean clutch and brake levers Pristine original speedometer and tachometer Beautiful original ignition switch Excellent chrome hardware and fasteners Beautiful headlight bucket and chrome headlight ring Restored and polished aluminum fork lowers Brand-new fork seals New fork rubber components Steering stem bearings serviced during restoration Original front and rear turn signals in outstanding condition The condition of the gauges is especially impressive.
