'84 Yamaha IT490

[SS109]

Just thought some might get a kick out of this bike that came up on Craigslist here in AZ. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/mcy/4161429997.html I had an old IT175 back in the day. It was my first full sized dirt bike and I loved that bike.

I bought one of those brand new, raced it till I hit 40 then sold it- enough is enough!
Only bike I ever rode that you could still pull the front up goin' over 80...

Beautiful! Someone put a lot of effort into that one.

My brother used to have one that I raced on occasion. I really liked that bike and it was probably why I love riding open class bikes. Id like to find another one someday.

This identical engine was later used in the WR500. They only made about 35hp, but were total tractors!

That is a SWEET restoration!
