$4500

Claims "This bike has been fully restored from the frame up" - don't know if he's have himself on or trying to have others on.

And here's another:

"Post Classic P4 1969 Yamaha TD2 production race bike, not a converted road bike.

This is a race bike so not many original parts left:
frame is DKW #427002020
Engine has DS6 cases (a popular swap), but internals and everything else is TD2 #DS6-01172
Forks are listed as Honda SL175
Front brake is DS7 twin leading shoe i have been told it is the same as TZ 125"

He's right, its not a YDS frame but then it not TD either. Obviously by the frame number a DKW. Did DKW make racers? Looks pretty ordinary to me with swingarm pivots and axle plate pressed metal

None of the bodywork is TD (and may not be Yamaha )

At least it's a Bitza price and not TD price .

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm the LC is probably worth about 2.5k paint looks not 2 bad engine needs a paint some stainless bolts would go a long way.

The other bike I don't know much about however good luck to anyone who gets what there asking for, old saying buyer beware.

I don't think it worth that - rust on mirror stems, horn etc. I'm pretty sure a close inspection would be disappointing - $1500-2000 maybe.

Hey, I hope he gets $4500 - I'll ask for $8000 on the same scale .

Thats about right 2.5k it would be rated in my book average-good seems about the going rate mind you I paid $50 for mine in 93.And have spent ...................bloody heaps

I remember in the nineties buying them for 250-500 hence the reason Ive got so many parts.

The TD2 looks OK for the money
