🏁 1979 Yamaha IT400 – BRAND NEW – Only 4 Miles! Last Known Unridden Example – Museum Quality 🏁

The Holy Grail of Vintage Enduro Collectibles

This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the last known brand-new, unridden 1979 Yamaha IT400 in existence. This motorcycle is 100% original and in showroom-new, museum-quality condition, making it an investment-grade collector’s piece for any serious vintage enthusiast.

🔹 Only 4 original miles – never ridden in dirt

🔹 Factory-new condition – as it rolled off the showroom floor in 1979

🔹 Stored on display in a Yamaha dealership for the last 15 years

🔹 Fully serviced, tuned, and detailed by Kaplan Cycles – the restoration team behind the New England Motorcycle Museum

🔹 The definition of pristine – original plastics, paint, graphics, tires, and components

🔹 A one-of-a-kind time capsule – you will not find another like it

This bike has just undergone a comprehensive preservation service including:

Fuel system flushed and cleaned
Carburetor professionally tuned
Fluids changed
New spark plug
Full Rotisserie detail and inspection
Test run and ready for display or preservation

It starts, idles, and runs perfectly – exactly as it did when it left the Yamaha factory in 1979. Not restored – but truly preserved in new condition.

Whether you are a museum curator, private collector, or vintage enduro enthusiast, this Yamaha IT400 is the crown jewel. It’s a true survivor and represents a pivotal era in Yamaha’s off-road legacy.
